Big news from Papenburg, Germany

BYD's YangWang U9 Extreme has set a new speed record of 308mph, with the electric hypercar dethroning the Bugatti Chiron.

Over the weekend, BYD announced on a RedNote livestream that the U9 Xtreme version has now broken the overall production car top speed record, clocking in at 496.22 km/h (308.37 mph). The car had just set the EV top speed record of 472.41 km/h a few weeks ago.  In addition, in its first test at the Nürburgring, it set the EV lap record at 6:59.157. BYD also implied that the top speed was limited by the 500 km/h-rated tires, as the car was still accelerating at the recorded speed. And the lap time was also just the start, with the car electronically limited to 350 km/h.

There's a new top speed record to beat and it's from the YangWang U9 Extreme.
