# BYD Yangwang U9 Xtreme supera i 500 km/h dopo un incidente

> BYD ha ufficialmente superato la soglia dei 500 km/h con la sua Yangwang U9 Xtreme, hypercar elettrica venduta a circa 3 milioni di dollari, nell'ambito di tentativi di record di velocità organizzati a Dubai e Abu Dhabi, dopo la distruzione di un esemplare in un incidente a 400 km/h in Cina; il pilota è uscito illeso. Questo dossier si inserisce in una competizione tecnologica tra elettriche cinesi, Xiaomi avendo da parte sua raggiunto 496,22 km/h e firmato un nuovo record del giro al Nürburgring con la sua SU7 Ultra rivista. I sotto-eventi pongono la Cina e gli Emirati Arabi Uniti al centro dei tentativi di velocità e dell'incidente, mentre la Germania si concentra sulla performance al Nürburgring e sul dibattito sulla portata di questi record. La copertura è importante anche negli Stati Uniti e in Francia, senza che i sotto-eventi forniti ne dettaglino il trattamento nazionale.
