BYD’s wild 2,977-horsepower Yangwang U9 Xtreme hypercar has crashed during high-speed testing in China. It happened just days before the car was expected to make another attempt at breaking 311 mph (500-km/h).
Video and photos uncovered by CarNewsChina of the wrecked U9 Xtreme started circulating on Chinese social media on November 2. The car appears to have lost control on a closed track before slamming into a barrier hard enough to tear the rear axle assembly away from the car entirely.
