–
Driven by Marc Basseng on Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed International Road (E11) in Abu Dhabi on November 1, 2026, the BYD Yangwang U9 Xtreme recorded 503.17 km/h (312.66 mph) to become the first street-legal production car to exceed 500 km/h. That run surpassed its own September 2025 Papenburg mark of 496.22 km/h and earned official FIA and Guinness World Records certification as both the fastest production car and fastest electric production car globally. Its 4-motor powertrain operates on a 1,200V electrical architecture fed by an 80 kWh BYD Blade LFP battery pack, generating 2,220 kW (2,977 hp / 3,018 PS). Built in a strictly limited run of 30 units, the U9 Xtreme pairs straight-line velocity with circuit capability, having posted a 6:59.157 lap time at the Nürburgring Nordschleife. Standard U9 figures list 0-100 km/h acceleration in 2.36 seconds, while the Xtreme variant adds revised aerodynamics and extreme-speed tires.
