The Fastest EV In The World Is Now Chinese


BYD's electric supercar, the Yangwang U9, snagged the record from the Rimac Nevera.

Watching the video published by BYD on its global YouTube channel, it doesn’t look like the U9 Track Edition’s rate of acceleration wanes as it reaches its record speed. The car that broke the record appears to be the same as what we saw earlier this month in a filing with the Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, which listed its impressive specs. Even if the hot new version was double that with its fancy quad-motor powertrain and other modifications, it would still be considerably less expensive than the Nevera R that it just beat, which costs around $2.5 million and is limited to just 40 examples.
