When BYD launched DiSus-X, nobody thought it would rewrite the EV rulebook. But on August 8, 2025, the Yangwang U9 Track Edition did just that, smashing the global top-speed record with a mind-boggling 472.41 km/h in Germany. Suddenly this wasn’t just another fancy electric hypercar – it was proof that suspension tech can decide who sits on the EV throne.

The Tech That Makes It Dance – and Dominate

At its core DiSus-X is BYD’s most advanced suspension system, combining damping, air and hydraulic control into one intelligent package. This isn’t just marketing speak – it gives the U9 tricks that sound crazy. Think “jumping” over obstacles, “dancing” to the music or even driving on three wheels without losing balance.

On the track that means razor sharp stability. By adjusting suspension travel by up to 75mm and lifting at speeds of 500 mm/s, the system keeps the car flat, planted and unshakeable at nearly 300 mph. That’s where the U9 did the impossible.

More Than Just Speed Numbers

The Yangwang U9 is based on BYD’s e4 platform with four independent motors. The standard version makes 1,287 hp, 0-100 km/h in 2.36 seconds. The Track Edition has over 2,959 hp, 80 kWh Blade battery and is built on a 1200V ultra-high-voltage platform for ultra-fast charging.

Inside it’s as much luxury as it is lunacy: a driver focused cockpit with Alcantara, exposed carbon fiber, a 12.3-inch infotainment screen and even a racing assistant that maps 30 circuits. Add the Dynaudio Evidence Series audio system and you have a hypercar that can also be a daily driver when it wants to.

Beating Rivals on the World Stage

Until this summer the Rimac Nevera held the crown. Now the Yangwang U9 has reset the benchmark, leaving challengers like the Aspark Owl SP600 scrambling. With this record breaking run BYD isn’t just competing – it’s announcing that Chinese EVs have arrived in the hypercar league.

Closing Note

DiSus-X system started as a party trick but has become BYD’s ace card. For drivers it means a hypercar that’s not only crazy fast but also stable and safe. For the EV world it means a new era: suspension as the ultimate performance weapon.
