BYD's luxury electric brand, YangWang, has demonstrated the mind-blowing suspension capabilities of its U9 supercar in a recently released video. As seen in the video, the high-performance EV was driven autonomously and leaped over water-filled potholes, road spikes, and more.
BYD YangWang U9: Here’s what happens
The secret behind these stunts lies in the U9’s Disus-X suspension system. This technology enables the car to leap over obstacles, even when unmanned. In the video, the supercar easily jumped off a 2.5-metre-long water-filled pothole with a leap of over 6 metres. This leap was followed by a jump over a field of 3.5-centimetre-high road spikes. To top it all off, this feat was achieved all while maintaining a speed of 120 kmph.
