YangWang Preps 3,000 HP Quad-Motor EV, But Rimac Isn't Convinced
Briefly

BYD is introducing a quad-motor version of the U9 supercar, generating an extraordinary 2,200 kW total, pushing its top speed to 217 mph. Despite this impressive specification, noted automotive expert Mate Rimac expresses skepticism about the car's ability to sustain such power output due to battery and tire limitations. He suggests that while 2,200 kW may be achievable momentarily, it may not represent the car's continuous performance. The vehicle's design includes sizeable wheels and aerodynamic components to enhance downforce.
The YangWang U9 features four electric motors delivering a collective 2,200 kW, pushing boundaries as it targets a top speed of 217 mph.
Mate Rimac emphasizes doubts regarding the U9's ability to maintain high power for extended durations, pointing to potential limitations in battery and tire technology.
