World’s Fastest Car – Yangwang U9 Xtreme Breaks Bugatti Top Speed Record

The world of hypercars has just witnessed history. The Yangwang U9 Xtreme (U9X), the flagship hypercar from BYD’s premium sub-brand Yangwang, has officially shattered records to become the world’s fastest production car, surpassing even the legendary Bugatti. With a jaw-dropping top speed of 308.4 mph (496.3 km/h), the U9X redefines what’s possible for electric vehicles and proves that the future of speed is electric.

On September 14, 2025, at the ATP Automotive Testing Papenburg track in Germany, the Yangwang U9 Xtreme hit this world record under the hands of professional racing driver Marc Basseng. This achievement not only outperformed Bugatti’s 304.1 mph record but also cemented Yangwang as the new global benchmark for hypercar innovation.

The U9X is more than just fast—it’s revolutionary. Powered by a cutting-edge 1200V electric architecture, the Blade Battery with ultra-rapid discharge, and four independent electric motors producing over 3000 horsepower, the U9X delivers instant acceleration and unmatched stability. Its advanced DiSus-X suspension ensures that this car is not only about straight-line speed but also about precision and control at the limit.

Only 30 units of the Yangwang U9 Xtreme will ever be produced, making it one of the most exclusive hypercars in the world. Each model represents the pinnacle of Chinese engineering, innovation, and luxury, showcasing BYD’s ability to rival and even surpass established European hypercar icons like Bugatti, Rimac, and Koenigsegg.

This milestone also carries a symbolic weight—it marks the first time an electric production car has officially dethroned the fastest petrol-powered hypercar in history. With zero emissions, near-silent operation, and groundbreaking performance, the U9X proves that electric mobility doesn’t just match combustion engines—it exceeds them.

As executive vice president Stella Li of BYD said: “The U9X shows that the world’s fastest car can also be clean, quiet, and electric.” This achievement is not just about speed—it’s about the future of sustainable, high-performance transportation.
