You may not know but BYD is the world's largest electric car manufacturer.. And no, she is not German nor is she French or American, she is Chinese. Yes, her passport is oriental and she is included in the set of signatures that we "did not even want to see" a couple of decades ago. The fact is that its growth has been such that its plans have gone further with the creation of a premium subdivision called YangWang What do you think?
Its name may not sound very good, at least in Spanish, but in its native country it could be a success. And for its official presentation at BYD they have seen fit to show the world a couple of new models. If you look back, you will remember that not long ago we presented you with the teasers of a mysterious model, right? At that time the most powerful rumor was that it was a BYD and it was called R1 but no. It's called U8, it's an SUV, it doesn't come alone...
YangWang, for now, articulates its range in two: the U8 EV SUV and the U9 EV Supercar with more than 1.000 HP of power...
To give you an idea of what it is yangwang, we could say that it is a firm that is, or wants to be, at the level of Audi, BMW or Mercedes-Benz. Yes, for now there are no photos of the U8 and U9 that show what their interiors are like, so this statement will have to be quarantined. The reason: that it is in quality of design and materials or technology on board where they have to shine if they want to live up to it. In the meantime, take note...
The YangWang U8 EV SUV is an all-rounder, the same one we thought was called R1. On a technical level, it uses a ladder chassis that allows a large battery and four electric motors to be attached. For now, the firm has not offered the energy capacity of this accumulator, but it does will offer more than 1.100 horsepower and 1.629 Nm of torque. In terms of performance, the brand ensures that it will do a 0 to 100 km/h in about 3 seconds.
Regarding its off road qualities, YangWang announces that it will have a "crab" mode or that you will be able to drive with a flat tire. As a curiosity, it will be able to wade great depths thanks to a specific way in which it uses a sealed body against the entry of the liquid element. Lastly, indicate that It is 5,3 meters long and its battle is 3,05 meters, surpassing the G-Class in some versions of its range.
As a complement to the U8 EV SUV comes the U9 EV Supercar. It is a supercar that uses the same scheme as the U8, so its power exceeds 1.100 CV. We do not know what its battery is like or what its autonomy is, but we do know that goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 2 seconds. So be patient...
