Yangwang U9 | The bunnyhopping 1288bhp coupe

This is the 1288bhp electric supercar that can bunnyhop and drive on three wheels - the Yangwang U9.

Yangwang is the luxury arm of Chinese manufacturing giant BYD, and the U9 is one of its first production cars.

Straight from the off, it has a lot riding on its shoulders. With competition as fierce as the McLaren Artura, Lamborghini Revuelto, Aston Martin DB12 and Ferrari SF90, the U9 has so much to prove if it’s to make a success of itself in the UK.

Its performance will likely be key to that success. 62mph is dispatched in 2.36sec and it will go on to a top speed of 192mph. Oh, and over the quarter mile, it’s about as fast as a Bugatti Chiron.

Join Autocar’s Jonny Bryce as he talks you through the inside and outside of the U9, and lets you see exactly what this bunnyhopping brute is all about.

You can see the U9 in the flesh at the Goodwood Festival of Speed from the 11th-14th July.
