Yangwang U9 ready for deliveries after six-month Nurburgring testing

BYD's luxury electric vehicle brand, Yangwang, is ready to take the first step into the world of supercars. Its highly anticipated U9 has completed six months of rigorous testing at the legendary Nurburgring Nordschleife, often called the "Green Hell" for its challenging layout and unforgiving terrain.

The U9 underwent extensive fine-tuning at the Nurburgring, with the Yangwang team optimizing its performance across the track's 70+ corners and enhancing its capabilities across more than 30 critical track sections. Nearly 150 technical aspects of the vehicle were meticulously tested, ensuring the U9 could confidently tackle this demanding circuit.

Following the testing and setup, the first batch of U9 supercars rolled off the production line last week. The purpose-built facility was created to meet the extraordinary production standards required for this high-performance EV. It has an advanced body assembly and final assembly areas.

It also includes a unique cleanroom for producing the U9's carbon fiber monocoque, meeting medical-grade humidity and temperature control standards to ensure precision in the manufacturing of the U9's intricate carbon fiber chassis and components.

BYD Seal 06 GT official photos revealed

BYD is almost ready to launch the Seal 06 GT, a production model based on their Ocean-M concept. The company claims that thanks to the sporty design and performance-oriented features, the Seal 06 GT is designed to capture the hearts of young drivers looking for an electric vehicle that's both fun and practical. The issue with that statement is the Ocean-M concept car looked really attractive. The road-going version, though - well, you can see it for yourself.

The official images released by BYD show a sleek exterior, but it's nowhere near as aggressive as the Ocean-M concept that debuted earlier this year. In fact, the road-going version of the concept is so tame it can be easily mistaken for any other BYD vehicle. That "young driver appeal" is gone, together with the outrageous rear wing, side skirts, and both rear and front bumpers with oversized air intakes of the Ocean-M concept.

The Seal 06 GT will be built on BYD's advanced all-electric platform and will be powered by their new generation of C2B (cell-to-body) batteries. While full specifications are yet to be revealed, BYD has indicated that the Seal 06 GT will have a price range of RMB 150,000 (€19,620) to RMB 200,000 (just over €26,100), making it an attractive option for budget-conscious buyers. It's expected to go on sale in the third quarter of this year, with the official unveiling scheduled for August 30 at the Chengdu auto show.
