BYD hypercar crashes while attempting speed record beyond 500 km/h The Yangwang U9 Xtreme shattered into splinters, but the driver was unharmed China's electric car holds the speed record at 496.22 km/h and was doing high-speed runs ahead of a planned 500 km/h attempt in Dubai

>500km/h crash >No fire >Pilot survived Big Chinese win

The reason why the guy who made the record didn’t go over 500 is because THE TIRES NEEDED TO EVEN ATTEMPT THIS DON’T EXIST

I think this is a marketing op to show how safe the car is. Wtf you mean it hit at 500 km/h and the driver still has all its limbs?

The driver survived that, BYD is a fantastic car

Notice how the battery remained thermally stable

The car or battery didn’t catch fire. Doesn’t look bad for BYD

BYD will become the largest car maker on the planet mark my words

The positive is, no explosion 🤔

He survived 🤯 BYD marketing department will never find a better ad than this

glad to see that the driver is doing fine!

record sebelumnya juga mentok di 496 karena mobilnya udah mau terbang. bukan mesinnya yg ga kuat, tapi ban nya udah gamau napak tanah lagi.

They can’t compete.

🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐 hmmmm these tyres

Need special tires for that kind of speed.

Shouldn’t have used those LINGLONG tires 😂

Yup a #Tesla would have caught fire and needed 500 million gallons of water to put out. #BYD built different

Good cuz I thought that was blood on the road. Ngl

that is the nature of chinese brand cars (and any product) in general lol shitty quality straight out of china this is what you get when you steal someone's IP

Nowhere in real time will you need that speed

Only the Chinese fanboys would try making there flagship car failing and crashing into a good thing 😅

the curve?

Cheap crap turned in to scrap in few seconds

@RT_com WTF, you can’t exceed 130kms/h and the cops are up your ass.

One real question where the hell in whole world you can ride above 250 or even 200 km/hr..... What is the need for this...

Probably using enough battery’s to power a small country…

Issue will always be the tyres. Set of Linglongs needed

"Driver was unharmed" at close to 500km/h. That must've been a record on its own

Need a better set of high performance Linglongs.

Everything evolved except the tires, if you plan on speeds noone attempted you need the equipment to match. Honestly still a win for the Chinese but this opens up alot of questions like where and what country other than Germany will allow that speed

The more reason to buy a BYD you get out unharmed if you crash at high speed

Excellent Safety 👌🏿 a Ford would've caught fire from turning the ignition on

I reiterate, BYD is not Koenigsegg, It will never be.

The safety is crazy good!

Tire blew?

a form of advertising that plays with death.
