YangWang U9 has four TZ220XYAK electric motors made by BYD. Each e-motor has a peak power of 240 kW (322 hp). The combined power of this supercar reaches 960 kW (1,287 hp). YangWang officials disclosed the peak torque of the system reaches 1,680 Nm at 21,000 rpm. As a result, the YangWang U9 can speed up to 100 km/h in 2 seconds.

According to YangWang, the U9 adopts the world’s first U-shaped motor design, providing a lower center of gravity. It also has high-temperature and demagnetization-resistant permanent magnets that improve motor efficiency. They can withstand temperatures of up to 200 degrees Celsius. Usually, the magnet of the e-motor can handle a temperature of around 140 degrees Celsius.

It also has a silicon carbide controller, which boosts the maximum transmission efficiency to 99.8%. For clarity, the efficiency of conventional automatic gearboxes ranges from 86% to 94%. The thermal management system of the YangWang U9 comprises dual electronic pumps on the front and rear axles. Each of them is independently controlled, cooling the motors.

The YangWang U9 is equipped with the DiSus-X chassis. Aside of dancing and jumping, this supercar can take corners faster, brake without nodding, and start without raising the front end. The DiSus-X suspension can lift each axle with a speed of 500 mm/s thanks to the maximum power of 36 kW provided by the 800V platform.The rear spoiler of the U9 provides downforce of up to 280 kg.
