BYD has made headlines after selling its ultra-exclusive Yangwang U9 Xtreme for more than $2.76 million, marking the highest-priced production vehicle in the company’s history.
The record-breaking deal took place at the Beijing Auto Show 2026, where the limited-run supercar—restricted to just 30 units globally—became the most expensive transaction at the event. At least one vehicle was handed over on-site, underscoring the model’s exclusivity and demand, News.Az reports, citing CNC.
The U9 Xtreme is positioned as a high-performance electric hypercar, boasting over 3,000 horsepower and a cutting-edge 1200V architecture. It has already gained attention for its track performance, including a sub-seven-minute lap time at the Nürburgring Nordschleife—placing it among the fastest production electric vehicles.
Equipped with advanced features such as BYD’s DiSus-X active suspension system and carbon-ceramic braking components, the model reflects the company’s push into elite performance territory traditionally dominated by global luxury brands.
The launch also highlights the ambitions of Yangwang, BYD’s premium sub-brand, which is targeting low-volume, high-price segments. Alongside the U9 Xtreme, the brand showcased its luxury SUV lineup, signaling a broader strategy to compete in both performance and ultra-luxury markets.
With rising investment and innovation, Chinese automakers are increasingly entering segments once led by established Western brands—and BYD’s latest milestone suggests that shift is accelerating.
