Recently, we learned from the official website of Yangwang Automobile that two Yangwang U9s have departed with a roll on/roll off ship to the UK to participate in the Goodwood Speed Festival, which will open in July. Looking up at the U9, it is positioned as a pure electric supercar with an official guide price of 1.68 million yuan. It is equipped with four-wheel independent motors and has an acceleration time of 2.36 seconds from 0-100km/h.
Looking at the new car, its exterior adopts the design language of “Time and Space Gate”, and the front headlights of the Star Trek are highly recognizable. The entire front line of the car is full of power and has an extremely strong impact. Of course, as a supercar, the U9 also has a very rich aerodynamic design. It is reported that the new car is equipped with 6 sets of body air duct layouts and 12 sets of active and passive aerodynamic kits, meeting the needs of efficient heat dissipation and high downforce.
From a side view, the new car adopts a streamlined wedge-shaped body to reduce wind resistance. The new car adopts an integral single shell carbon fiber cockpit, combined with CTB technology, with a torsional stiffness of 54425N · m/° and a lightweight coefficient of 0.95. In addition, the new car also adopts a butterfly door opening method and is equipped with Pirelli P ZERO series tires. The wheel sizes are front 275/35 R21 and rear 325/30 R21, with body dimensions of 4966/2029/1295 (1338) mm in length, width, and height, and a wheelbase of 2900mm.
Looking up at the U9 equipped with a large-sized carbon fiber fixed spoiler, it adopts a gooseneck design, and the bracket is fixed at the upper end of the spoiler. The rear bumper has a very exaggerated diffuser design, and it also has a horizontal active spoiler, which can increase the rear axle downforce when folded up and reduce wind resistance when opened. There are three color schemes for the appearance of the new car.
In terms of interior, the new car adopts a wrap around cockpit design, with a large vertical screen in the middle and rich in car apps built-in. Below the screen, there are knobs with screens and physical buttons for convenient operation of vehicle settings. The three spoke steering wheel is wrapped in leather material and features a full LCD instrument panel in front. There are also three color schemes for the interior.
It is worth mentioning that although the U9 adopts bucket seats, it still showcases a sense of luxury with a combination of leather and suede, while retaining electric adjustment, heating, and ventilation functions. In addition, the car is equipped with 127 color ambient lights, 12 speaker Dana sound system, and wireless phone charging to meet daily driving needs.
In terms of power, the new car will be equipped with a four motor system. The maximum power of all four motors is 240kW, with a combined power of 960kW, which is 1306 horsepower. The peak torque is 1680N · m, and the peak speed is 21000rpm. The 0-100km/h acceleration is 2.36 seconds, and the 0-400m acceleration is 9.78 seconds. The top speed is 309km/h. The test result in the previous stage was 2:17.65. The Yunnian-X intelligent fully active body control system is based on the fusion control of horizontal, vertical, and vertical directions, equipped with air springs and dual valve shock absorbers to help the U9 achieve three wheel driving and four wheel takeoff movements. In addition, looking up at the U9 equipped with an 80kWh battery, CLTC range of 450km, dual gun overcharging with a maximum charging power of 500kW, 30% -80% energy replenishment in 10 minutes, and 30% -80% energy replenishment in 7 hours of slow charging.
