BYD's all-electric hypercar, the YangWang U9 Extreme, hits a record-breaking 308mph


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

A new hypercar has dethroned Bugatti's record for the fastest production car, and unsurprisingly, it's an electric vehicle. Officially, the fastest production car record is factored from the average of runs in both directions, whereas the U9 Extreme only reached its 308 mph top speed one way. That's not to minimize this achievement, whose pivotal moment from the livestream was highlighted by CarNewsChina, since Bugatti's record was also a one-way run.
