Surprised with the electric supercar that could overcome obstacles

HẠO THIÊN (theo CarNewsChina) |

The YangWang U9 model can soar and fly over water holes, nail parks and color strips without the need for an operator.

YangWang is a high-end electric vehicle brand of BYD, in which the U9 model is the second car after the U8 off-road SUV. Previously, the U8 model attracted attention for its ability to swim like a boat, while the U9 supercar attracted attention with the Disus X suspension and hydraulic system that allows the vehicle to jump or rotate on the spot.

Recently, another video of a YangWang U9 self-driving on the test track at a speed of 120km/h appeared. The first obstacle the vehicle encountered was a 2.5m long hole containing water. When the vehicle approaches, the suspension system activates, causing the vehicle to soar over the hole. According to BYD, the jump was over 6m long.

The next obstacle was a row of nails 4m long, about 3.5cm high. As in the previous case, the Disus X suspension system helped the U9 pass. Finally, there were 4 colored dust strips with a length of 4m and the result was a successful overcome.

BYD has not yet provided further details about the test, such as which advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) is used. Previously, BYD announced cooperation in developing ADAS with DJI - a technology company in Shenzhen (China) or Horizon Robotics - a technology company in Beijing (China).

Many opinions say that BYD's doing is simply marketing for products and is very difficult to apply in practice because they are related to the durability of materials, especially suspension systems. In addition, it will be difficult to perform balancing operations without a driver.

The YangWang was launched in April 2023, with a dry weight of 2,475kg, nearly double the Porsche 911 sports car. The vehicle is equipped with 4 motors, 4-wheel drive allowing the vehicle to rotate in place, by having 2 wheels on the left rotate in the opposite direction to the right.

YangWang U9 was designed by Wolfgang Egger - who was previously the main designer for European companies such as Alfa Romeo, Audi, Lamborghini and started working for BYD in 2017. The U9 is developed on BYD's e4 platform with 4 electric motors developed by BYD for a total capacity of 960 kW (1,587 horsepower); the range is 450 km/1 charge.
