Apparently, being the fastest in the world isn't enough for the folks at BYD and its luxury subsidiary Yangwang. Instead, it wants to be even more fastest, by beating its own top speed record. Last year, the Yangwang U9 Xtreme, an electric hypercar with unreal specs, broke the all-time production car top speed record at an alarming 308.4 mph. That stole the record away from Bugatti and its 304.8 mph Chiron Super Sport 300+, which set the record in 2019. But BYD felt that the Yangwang left a bit on the field and it wants another crack at it.
At the Goodwood Festival of Speed, BYD executive vice president Stella Li said that the company is eyeing another run, according to CarNewsChina. She thinks a 310 mph (500 km/h) top speed is possible.
