When Lightning Strikes Twice: The Yangwang U9 & Xtreme - CleanTechnica

The article from CleanTechnica highlights the remarkable performance and engineering feats of the Yangwang U9 and its more extreme variant, the U9 Xtreme. The U9 features a groundbreaking 1200V ultra-high-voltage platform, the first of its kind in mass production, powering four electric motors that collectively produce over 3,000 PS. This results in an astonishing power-to-weight ratio of 1,217 PS per tonne and enables the standard U9 to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.36 seconds. The U9 Xtreme pushes these limits even further, though official acceleration times remain undisclosed. The article emphasizes that while straight-line speed is impressive, the true test of a supercar lies in its handling and performance on demanding tracks. The U9 Xtreme made history by setting a new top speed record for production cars at 496.22 km/h (308.33 mph), surpassing the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+
