New filings have revealed that BYD is about to launch a ridiculous 3,000 hp electrical supercar: the Yangwang U9 Monitor Version.
BYD already shocked the world when it launched the Yangwang U9its first all-electric supercar.
It featured 4 superior electrical motors with a mixed energy of practically 1,300 horsepower. The U9 can speed up from 0 to 62 mph (0 to 100 km/h) in simply 2.36 seconds.
With a motor at every wheel and a extremely superior electric-air suspension, the U9 can activate itself and even bounce over potholes.
However that was solely the start.
Based mostly on a brand new submitting with the Ministry of Business and Data Know-how (MIIT), BYD is making ready to launch a brand new ‘Monitor Version’ of the Yangwang U9:
When an automaker releases a “monitor” model of a automotive, it sometimes primarily options physique adjustments for higher aerodynamic efficiency, including downforce, and it’ll additionally usually characteristic larger brakes.
The Yangwang U9 ‘Monitor Version’ seems to characteristic all that… and rather more.
The submitting reveals that BYD up to date the motors at every wheel to a brand new 555 kW motor. That’s a higher-performing motor than in most efficiency electrical automobiles. The U9 Monitor Version has 4 of them for a complete of two,220 kW (3,019 hp).
I might have thought that this was a typo if it wasn’t for the insane electrical automobiles popping out of China today.
Listed here are a number of footage from the MIIT submitting:
There are plenty of efficiency specs that aren’t included within the MIIT submitting. Due to this fact, it will likely be fascinating to see when the automobile is absolutely unveiled and BYD reveals what sort of efficiency it may well obtain with 3,000 hp packed in 4 electrical motors.
Listed here are a number of different options talked about within the submitting:
Customary options:
- 20-inch wheels with 325/35 R20 tyres
- Carbon-fibre roof
- Massive mounted carbon-fibre rear wing
- Rear diffuser with adjustable blades for aerodynamic optimisation
Optionally available aerodynamic components:
- Customary or enhanced carbon-fibre entrance splitter
- Electrical rear wing
Electrek’s Take
How are they going to maintain that factor from flying away? Severely.
