Chinese carmaker BYD recently made waves by announcing its new Denza Z, a jaw-dropping electric coupe that looks like a supercar.
Unveiled at the 2025 Shanghai Auto Show, this is BYD’s luxury brand Denza’s boldest move yet.
Designed to go head-to-head with the Tesla Roadster and the Porsche 911, you may expect to fork out six figures for this.
This is where you’re wrong, because BYD is offering this futuristic supercar for only $41,000.

The Denza Z is powered by BYD’s e3 platform, a tri-motor system that includes a front motor and two rear motors with independent steering capabilities.
This setup allows for precise torque distribution and dynamic control, especially during cornering and high-speed maneuvers.
While BYD did not disclose exact horsepower figures, we can take a look at related models for reference.
For example, the Denza Z9 GT boasts a 952bhp output, so it’s not impossible that the Denza Z can reach the 1,000bhp mark.
One of the standout features of the this EV is its steer-by-wire system, developed in-house by Denza.
This technology eliminates mechanical linkages between the steering wheel and the front axle, allowing for millisecond-level responsiveness.
Paired with high-tech magnetorheological (yes, this is a real word) dampers, the company says the ride will be buttery smooth, even at high speeds.
The Denza Z doesn’t just look like a spaceship, as it even drives like one.
The interior features a fold-away steering wheel, which expands cabin space when you’re parked.
It is designed with minimalist, futuristic vibes, and comes in both coupe and convertible versions.
Naturally, as an EV, the Denza Z offers the usual environmental benefits: think no oil changes, quieter handling, and zero tailpipe emissions.
All these features are obviously great, but what makes BYD’s new offering so revolutionary is its affordability.
For something that looks like it belongs on a racetrack, a price of $41,000 is almost insane.
While a release date hasn’t been set yet, the refined design and advanced features suggest that it is closer to production than a mere concept.
With the Denza Z, BYD is redefining what a performance electric sports car can be.
Whether you’re a driving enthusiast or someone looking to make the switch to an EV, it offers a compelling option.
