Setting a lap record at the N\u00fcrburgring. That gets you in all the media at once &#8211; worldwide. By now they have also understood this well in China. One Chinese manufacturer after another sends its cars to Germany, hoping to be a few tenths faster than the previous one.    <\/p>\n<h2>3,000 hp<\/h2>\n<p>They are all electric powerhouses, because traditional gasoline-powered sports cars are rare in China. And by &#8220;powerhouses,&#8221; we mean really powerhouses: 1,000 horsepower is hardly worth mentioning. Whereas Tesla amazed the world not so long ago with the Model S Plaid with over 1,000 hp, they are now laughing about it in China. The <a href=\"https:\/\/autorai.nl\/byd-yangwang-u9-track-edition\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Yangwang U9 Xtreme<\/a> takes it up another notch: 3,000 hp!   <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-content\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1140\" height=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/autorai.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Yangwang-U9-Xtreme-1-1-1140x641.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-211036\"><\/figure>\n<h2><strong>Chinese missile in Green Hell<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The bizarrely powerful Yangwang U9 Xtreme has now made history. The U9 Xtreme is the first all-electric production sports car to complete the infamous N\u00fcrburgring Nordschleife in less than seven minutes. The official lap time: 6 minutes and 59.157 seconds. With that, the Chinese powerhouse knocks the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra &#8211; also Chinese &#8211; off the throne.   <\/p>\n<h2>10,000 laps<\/h2>\n<p>Behind the wheel was German driver Moritz Kranz, who already has nearly 10,000 laps of experience on the Nordschleife. Yet this drive was different from all the others: this time he was driving a 3,000-hp electric hypercar with four electric motors, each good for 30,000 rpm. <\/p>\n<h2>1,200 volts<\/h2>\n<p>The U9 Xtreme uses a 1,200-volt platform and a body control system that keeps the car perfectly flat in fast turns. An extra strong cooling system prevents the batteries from overheating, while carbon-ceramic brakes and Giti semi-slick tires ensure the car can brake hard and not lose grip. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-content\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1140\" height=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/autorai.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Yangwang-U9-Xtreme-4-1140x641.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-211037\"><\/figure>\n<h2><strong>A bargain?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The U9 Xtreme is not a concept car, but a real production model &#8211; although only 30 of them will be built, all by hand. The price is around 250,000 euros, which seems almost a bargain for a car with 3,000 horsepower and a top speed of almost 500 km\/h. <\/p>\n<h2><strong>500 km\/h<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>You read that last one correctly, too: almost 500 km\/h. Just a month ago, in fact, the same U9 Xtreme already reached a top speed of 496 km\/h, officially becoming the fastest production car in the world. Now it proves that it is not only absurdly fast in a straight line, but can also handle cornering like a real sports car.  <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-content\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1140\" height=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/autorai.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Yangwang-U9-Xtreme-3-1-1140x641.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-211038\"><\/figure>\n<h2><strong>Perspective<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Still, we have to put it in perspective: the overall N\u00fcrburgring record remains firmly in the hands of the Mercedes-AMG One, with a time of 6:30.70 &#8211; some 30 seconds faster. So gasoline is still king at the ring. But one thing is clear: the Chinese attack on European sports car pride is in full swing.  <\/p>\n<p>See also:  <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/c6cdBpOeyaY?si=PrcnLaNV69QahCAY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">This supercar dances and jumps: YANGWANG U9 &#8211; 1,306 hp! &#8211; WALKAROUND &#8211; AutoRAI TV<\/a><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"N\u00fcrburgring The best PR a sports car can get?
