Recently, an article titled "Chinese supercars shock the world! The article "Looking up to the top of the world with 496km/h" has spread in many people's circle of friends and car forums, making people feel excited and excited.
The article says that BYD's high-end brand looks up to launch a super sports car called U9X, which not only ran an astonishing speed of nearly 500 kilometers per hour, but also competed with old overlords such as Bugatti, but also ran for 7 minutes at the famous Nürburgring track in Germany. This is the "Hale of Honor" of the world's top performance cars.
As soon as this news came out, everyone's first reaction was that they were both excited and a little unbelievable: Is the automobile industry in our country really so powerful?
Standing at the top of the world's automobile pyramid overnight?
This matter does sound so beautiful, but as ordinary people, we must also look at what is going on in a realistic spirit.
First of all, we have to calm down and do the most basic fact check.
When we look up BYD's official website, official press conferences, and all authoritative automotive media reports, we will find a key problem: no official channel has released the exact news, whether it is the specific model of "Advance U9X", or the jaw-dropping 496.22km/h speed record, and the 6 minutes

In other words, the core data mentioned in this article are likely not the achievements that have been achieved by the official, but are more like an ideal "pinning work" created by some car fans based on their beautiful expectations and imaginations for our own brands.
This is actually easy to understand. Who doesn’t want our own cars to become the world’s number one?
This kind of mood is completely empathetic.
However, please don’t rush to feel disappointed, as it is a silly joy.
Although the magic car called "U9X" and its aura of data may be fictional, its prototype, the U9, which has been officially released and launched, is itself a tangible technological masterpiece that is enough to make the entire automotive industry stand out.
We can completely turn our attention away from that fictional record and see how hardcore the U9 is in reality is. Its appearance is even more profound than simply refreshing a speed record.
Let’s first talk about the two core technologies that U9 is most proud of: "Yi Sifang" and "Yunian-X".
These mysterious names are behind them, but there are real innovations.
In most common terms, the "Yi Sifang" technology is equipped with four independent motors for the car, each motor is specifically responsible for driving a wheel.
This is a world of difference from the ordinary cars we usually drive.
For ordinary cars, whether they are fuel vehicles or many electric vehicles, the power comes from one or two motors (engines) and is then distributed to the wheels through a series of complex transmissions.
"Yi Sifang" is like installing independent thinking brains and strong muscles on all four wheels. The computer can individually and accurately adjust the speed and power of any wheel within a thousandth of a second.
What can this do?
It can implement some functions that we never dared to think of before.
For example, making a 360-degree turn in place, just like the steering of a tank, which is very useful in tight places.
What's more important is its safety. Imagine if a tire suddenly explodes on a highway at 120 kilometers per hour, and for an ordinary car, the result is likely to be a catastrophic out of control.
However, a car with "Yi Sifang" technology will instantly allow the other three wheels to adjust the output power, helping the vehicle to maintain a steady and straight line, giving the driver enough time and confidence to stop the car safely.
This ability to fundamentally improve the dynamic safety of vehicles is difficult to achieve in traditional mechanical structures.
Let’s talk about the “Yunning-X” intelligent fully active body control system that made Yangwang U9 “get famous on one jump” online.
Many people have watched that video. A supercar can actually jump on the spot like a human, and even keep the body balanced and continue driving with three wheels while removing one wheel.
Many people will think at first sight that this is "showing off skills"?
No practical use?
Actually, it is not the case.
This ability of "dance" and "three-wheeled driving" shows the extraordinary reaction speed and adjustment range of its suspension system.
Put it in actual driving, the benefits are too great.
When the vehicle corners at high speed, the wheels on the outside will be under tremendous pressure and the body will be tilted, which will affect the limit of handling.
The "Yunyan-X" can instantly actively apply a strong support force to the outside suspension, firmly "press" the car body on the ground, making the car as stable as a railcar when cornering.
When the road surface is uneven and has potholes, it can quickly lift or lower the wheels, keeping the body as horizontal as possible, greatly improving riding comfort.
Therefore, looking up to the U9 is not just a linear machine that pursues silly and fast, it cares more about the attitude control ability of the vehicle in any state, which is a new exploration of the vehicle's control concept.
After talking about these "black technologies", let's take a look at the performance data of looking up to U9 in reality.
Although it is not as exaggerated as the fictional 496km/h, its official data is still the world's top: the combined horsepower exceeds 1,300 horsepower, it only takes 2.36 seconds to accelerate from stationary to 100 km/h, and the top speed can also reach 309 km/h.
This report card, if you are in any supercar club in the world, is definitely at the first level, and is enough to make those traditional European tycoons who sell for tens of millions of dollars treat each other with their eyes.
Therefore, in my opinion, the real meaning of looking up to the U9 is not whether it really breaks the straight-line speed world record that has been maintained by fuel vehicles for many years.
That record is more like the last glory of the fuel era, representing the ultimate of mechanical power.
Looking up to the emergence of U9 represents a new possibility. It uses intelligent electronic control technology to open up a new path for high-performance automobile development.
It tells the world that the competition for future supercars may no longer be just the number of engine cylinders and displacement, but also the advanced algorithm, the response speed of the electronic control system, and the precise control ability of every dynamic moment of the vehicle.
This is a subversion from the underlying logic.
In the past, we often envied foreign brands for hundreds of years of technological accumulation and brand precipitation, but today, in the new track of new energy and intelligence, our own brands have begun to formulate new rules of the game with solid technological innovation, which is the most proud and exciting thing.
Looking up to the U9 is like a declaration, it declares to the world that Chinese cars can not only make good cars, but also make cars that lead the future.
