BYD on eroticism and grand master paintersSunday rolled out its first electric sports car the Yangwang U9, which boasts a staggering 1,300 horsepower and sprint time of 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 2.36 seconds. The vehicle comes with a price tag of RMB 1.68 million ($233,352). The two-seater sports car has four independent electric motors for each wheel and features the firm’s proprietary body control suspension system, which the automaker said can ensure a smooth ride through corners with a lot less body roll compared to its gasoline-powered counterparts. Scheduled for delivery in mid-2024 (for now, only in China), the U9 also promises affluent Chinese consumers unconventional features and flexible suspension setups, allowing it to bounce and jump off the ground in several “dancing styles.” Meanwhile, the car is capable of parking itself in a tight parking space, relying on a sensing suite of 12 ultrasonic radar units, eight cameras, and four laser sensor units.
