Tested at the ATP Automotive Testing Papenburg track in Germany, the U9 Xtreme reached a staggering top whack of 496.22 km\/h. For comparison that\u2019s nearly 6 km\/h faster than the previous record (490.484 km\/h) that has been held by the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+ since 2019. Yangwang obliterated the Ospark Owl and Rimac Nevera, and bested its own global EV top speed record in the U9 set last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Limited to just 30 examples, the U9 Xtreme, officially launched earlier this month, is a more hardcore version of the \u201cstandard\u201d&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.carmag.co.za\/car-reviews\/driving-impressions\/review-byds-all-electric-hypercar-the-yangwang-u9\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">U9<\/a>, which is already available in China. The U9 Xtreme employs four electric motors, fed by a 1 200 V lithium-iron phosphate Blade Battery. Combined the most-focused U9\u2019s quad electric-motor setup produces an eye-widening 2 206 kW. Track-focused equipment on the U9 Xtreme includes semi-slick tyres and revised DiSus-X suspension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">German racing driver Marc Basseng, a multi-discipline gold medallist, was behind the wheel of the U9 Xtreme when the record was set. Basseng was also behind the wheel of the \u201cstandard\u201d U9 when it set the previous production EV top-speed record \u2013 272.41 km\/h \u2013 on the same track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/video.php?height=315&#038;href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2F100088633698345%2Fvideos%2F1152816640066934%2F&#038;show_text=true&#038;width=560&#038;t=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"430\" style=\"border:none;overflow:hidden\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowFullScreen=\"true\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Yangwang U9 Xtreme Shatters World Top-Speed Record for Production Cars<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.carmag.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Copy-of-Copy-of-This-week-in-motoring-68-800x480.jpg\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Image: BYD<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carmag.co.za\/category\/news\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">News<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\u25aa\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/16.0.1\/svg\/25aa.svg\">&nbsp;Posted&nbsp;September 23, 2025<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By: Cale Nuttall<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/platform-cdn.sharethis.com\/img\/facebook.svg\" alt=\"facebook sharing button\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/platform-cdn.sharethis.com\/img\/twitter.svg\" alt=\"twitter sharing button\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/platform-cdn.sharethis.com\/img\/sharethis.svg\" alt=\"sharethis sharing button\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/platform-cdn.sharethis.com\/img\/linkedin.svg\" alt=\"linkedin sharing button\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>The Yangwang U9 Xtreme has set a new world top-speed record for production cars; clocking nearly 500 km\/h at the ATP Automotive Testing Papenberg test track in Germany.&nbsp;<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\" id=\"attachment_999646515\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.carmag.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Copy-of-Copy-of-This-week-in-motoring-68-1024x614.jpg\" alt=\"Yangwang U9 Xtreme top-speed record run\" class=\"wp-image-999646515\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image: BYD<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chinese automaker\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.byd.com\/za\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">BYD\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0luxury sub-brand Yangwang has set a new top-speed record for production cars with the U9 Xtreme all-electric performance car.
