A Chinese electric car, the BYD Yangwang U9 Xtreme, set a new world record by exceeding 500 km/h, reaching 503.17 km/h in Abu Dhabi. This achievement was recognized by the FIA and earned four Guinness World Records. The record was established on November 1, 2026, with experienced driver Marc Basseng behind the wheel. The car features four independent electric motors, producing over 3,000 PS, and utilizes a 1,200-volt battery system. The record is significant but differs from average speed records, which require runs in both directions. The U9 Xtreme's performance highlights advancements in electric vehicle technology and engineering.
