Looking up to the U9: China’s new favorite electric supercar

Driven by the era of automotive electrification, China’s domestic automakers are actively involved in the production of electric supercars. Recently, Haopin, a high-end electric brand owned by GAC Aion, launched an electric supercar called SSR. Previously, BYD's U9 also received widespread attention

Recently, a video has been circulating on the Internet, which is said to be a test video of looking up to U9. In the video, a U9 is speeding on the track. Surprisingly, the vehicle's brake discs flash bright orange, making it look like it is competing in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Particularly striking is the fact that the brake discs on the front wheels are at least twice as bright as those on the rear wheels. However, it is impossible to determine from the video whether the flash of light is caused by the flames produced by the brake discs during braking or whether it is the lighting effect of the vehicle. Despite safety concerns, there's no denying that this visual effect is pretty cool.

Some foreign media pointed out that although this situation is rarely seen in daily driving, similar phenomena are not uncommon on the track. Considering that the U9 may be equipped with the same over-thousand-horsepower electric motor as the U8 and may weigh more than 2 tons, it is not easy for the brake disc to withstand such a high-intensity test on the track. It is understood that the acceleration time of the U9 from 100 kilometers to 100 kilometers is only 2 seconds. Although it is slightly slower than the Haopin SSR by 0.1 seconds, it is comparable to Europe's top internal combustion supercars
