Yangwang U9 Xtreme sets new Nurburgring record

Just a month after posting a world-record high speed of 496.22km/h at ATP Papenburg, the Yangwang U9 Xtreme has taken things a step further, achieving a new lap record (6:59.157 minutes) for the Electric Super Sports Cars class at the Nurburgring Nordschleife circuit.

Built on the world's first mass-produced, all-domain 1,200V ultra-high-voltage platform and equipped with four high-performance motors, the U9 Xtreme is capable of a total output of over 2,207kW. It is also based on the same e⁴ Platform and DiSus-X intelligent body-control system as the current Yangwang U9.

The U9 Xtreme is built on a 1200V platform and equipped with four motors that delivers a total output of 2,207kW

To achieve this record time, the U9 Xtreme features a completely redesigned cooling system, a new titanium-alloy carbon-ceramic braking system, and GitiSport e·GTR2 PRO semi-slick tyres that were jointly developed with Giti.

The U9 Xtreme is now being made available to customers, with a limited series production run of no more than 30 units.
