Once upon a time, NIO's EP9 supercar made many Chinese fans begin to yearn for the performance leadership of the Chinese, but more than 7 years have passed, and there is no Chinese independent supercar that has really entered the consumer market. It is said that BYD, the "leader" of the new energy market, has not seen high-end products enter the market for a long time, but after entering 2024, the first mass-produced supercar belonging to China's independent car brand is really coming, and it is BYD's Wangwang U9.
Looking up at the U9 has both a breakthrough in vision and a conservative side, the low-lying body posture and high-profile large wheel eyebrow design make the vehicle look at a sense of familiarity, especially the traditional engine compartment structure that can form a triangular structure with the ground, which will make us think of Lamborghini, think of Ferrari, think of McLaren, but look up to the U9 through the extremely exaggerated C-shaped lights and diffuse front lip, bringing out a wealth of three-dimensional changes, thus forming a fuller racing vision.
In terms of size, the 4,966mm length of the U9 is similar to the Lamborghini Revuelto, and the 2,039mm ultra-wide-body body is only 4mm narrower than the latter. However, the 1295mm height is obviously a deliberate attempt to enhance the practicality of the interior space, which is a full 135mm taller than this bull. Similarly, a wheelbase of 2,900 mm is extremely rare in the supercar market, and it is also designed to enhance the practicality of the cabin.
Speaking of the practicality of this cabin, looking up to the U9 maintains a symmetrical three-screen layout in the front row, with 10 left and rightThe 25-inch screen will play the role of instrument display and co-pilot entertainment respectively, and they are all made of Mini LED material, which is compatible with 123-inch** touch screen and the corresponding DILINK system, the vehicle can not only realize the intelligent voice interaction of continuous recognition and response under the dual area, but also complete the ** application and function expansion, and even advanced functions such as face recognition, modern intelligent interaction is not weakened at all.
What surprises us even more is that Yangwang U9 has not even given up intelligent driving, and Yangwang Pilot has achieved high-end intelligent driving with the fusion perception scheme with binocular perception camera as the core, so that the vehicle can realize automatic parking, remote parking and other operations, and complete a series of operation controls such as automatic lane change, ramp entry and exit, and signal light recognition feedback while driving.
In terms of other configurations, the Yangwang U9 also realizes electric suction and electric tailgate on the frameless door, and the super spoiler rear wing at the rear can also be electrically adjusted up and down. In the cockpit, looking up to the U9 also has a flow ** rearview mirror, 50W wireless charging pad, steering wheel heating and position memory, multi-zone air conditioning with fragrance and air purification, etc., and even the heating, ventilation, massage and memory function on the seat and the 12 speakers of the Dynaudio sound system, etc., the luxury and intelligence achieved in this cabin are not achieved by the same type of supercar.
After looking up to the U8 and going to Munich and Tokyo, we all know that BYD's Yi Sifang technology platform can bring super off-road performance to new energy SUVs. And now looking up to U9, it shows us the super strength of the Yi Sifang technology platform in a straight line. The four wheel motors on the drive shaft bring a total power of 960kW (1306PS) and a total torque of 1680Nm to the vehicle, which will be supported by 800V SiC high-voltage electronic control and torque vectoring technologyIt accelerates from 0 to 100 kmh in 36 seconds and reaches a top speed of 300 kmh, making it truly one of the supercars in terms of performance figures. At the same time, the blade battery with a capacity of 80kW will also bring 450km of CLTC pure electric range to the vehicle, not to mention its endurance, but the power of up to 500kW of high-voltage fast charging, so that the vehicle can complete 30-80% fast charging in only 10 minutes, and the energy replenishment speed is enough to complete the long-mileage travel needs.
In terms of chassis, Yangwang U9 adopts a combination of double wishbone independent suspension and rear multi-link independent suspension, which brings strong support in terms of comprehensive dynamic performance, and Yangwang U9 also has Yunnan-X full intelligent active body control technology, which can allow the vehicle to complete the damping stiffness and suspension height adjustment at the same time, but also help the vehicle complete the vertical "jump on the spot" and other special functions like Porsche Active Ride, which means, An ultra-low-lying supercar is still capable of driving in multiple road conditions.
Write at the end
Looking up to the U9 into the consumer market represents the great progress made by China's independent automobile manufacturing industry in the core machinery and tuning, and whether it is the intuitive visual expression and specific data presented by the vehicle, or the unprecedented high-end intelligent driving and cockpit intelligence in the field of supercars, looking up to the U9 can be called an industry milestone, but whether this milestone can really be neutralized in the consumer market, or even replace some nameplates in the traditional sports car market, this year, we may be able to reveal the answer.
