BYD

The Bugatti Chiron Supersport 300+ held the crown for the world's fastest car since 2019. It took six long years for a worthy contender to not just step up but snatch that feat from Bugatti like it was nothing … in the form of an EV, no less!

BYD’s Yangwang U8L SUV is tricked out with the usual rotating 360 degrees on the spot and the ability to crab walk diagonally. But the fanciest party trick of them all is emergency flotation on water – in case your yacht ever failed on you.

According to a new filing, BYD plans to launch a new 'Track Edition' of the Yangwang U9. The company felt that 1,300 horses weren’t enough and added four more powerful electric motors.

BYD has launched the Atto 1 (which is basically a repackaged version of BYD’s top-selling electric car in China, the Seagull) in Indonesia. With a starting price of around US$12,000, the Atto 1 becomes one of the most affordable EVs on the market.

When the last Ford Fiesta rolled off the production line in Cologne, Germany, in July 2023, it drastically altered the automobile industry. Now, less than two years later, there's talk that the Fiesta is making a comeback – with one major change.

Last year, BYD sold over 4.2 million cars worldwide, with over 90% of those within China. Now it's setting its sights on luxury German carmakers like BMW and Mercedes with the European launch of its high-end Denza brand.

China is back with another engineering marvel. This time, in the form of BYD’s new battery system which is capable of an EV with 250 miles (400 km) of range in just five minutes — roughly the same amount of time as refueling an ICE vehicle.

Chinese energy giant BYD has just inked a deal to build the largest battery storage projects on the planet for Saudi Arabia. The company will put together facilities at five sites totaling a massive 12.5 GWh of energy storage.

Electric car maker BYD is set to equip all its models with its advanced 'God's Eye' autonomous driving system, the company announced earlier this week. That could put it firmly ahead of Tesla, which is still waiting for the official nod to proceed.

Remember the 1,287-horsepower electric Yangwang U9? In a recently released video, the BYD hypercar is seen driving autonomously and jumping over a variety of obstacles, including road spikes and water-filled potholes.

An underreported proposal from the US government could see the sale and import of connected vehicle components prohibited if they're linked to China or Russia. The rule could have far-reaching effects, but it seems motorcyclists might feel it first.

The YangWang U9 is remarkably affordable for a 1,287-horsepower electric hypercar at around US$236,000. It also rocks a 'DiSus' active suspension system powerful enough to launch the car off the ground, or let it rotate on the spot in a "tank turn."
