YangWang U9 1100-horsepower supercar can jump around, dance and drive on three wheels

The new YangWang U9 supercar from China's BYD was unveiled at the Shanghai Auto Show. It offers outstanding performance thanks to its 1,100 horsepower powertrain, but the car is much more exciting because of its advanced Disus-X suspension system.

The Disus-X suspension system includes an intelligent damping body control system (Disus-C), an intelligent hydraulic body control system (Disus-P) and an intelligent air body control system (Disus-A). They work together to provide vertical, lateral and longitudinal movement of the vehicle.

During the official premiere, the YangWang U9 moved without a wheel and performed dance-like movements. At one point, the car even jumped. Of course, such tricks can surprise your friends, but the designers of the supercar explained that the Disus-X system can also be used to reduce body roll at high speeds, minimize the risk of rollover, and help accelerate at full throttle and emergency braking.

The U9 is based on Yisigang's proprietary EV platform and features four electric motors that together deliver 1,100 hp and 944 lb-ft (1,280 Nm) of torque. According to preliminary information, the supercar accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 2 seconds and can travel approximately 400 miles (700 km) on a single charge.
