Embracing the cutting-edge e4 Platform technology, the Yangwang U9 achieves an impressive 0-100 km/h acceleration at the 2-second level. The vehicle's design showcases the avant-garde "Time Gate" design language and features the dynamic "Butterfly Doors," with an optional carbon fiber fixed rear wing for added aerodynamics.

While retaining classic elements of supercar design, the Yangwang U9 offers a visually striking blend of futuristic aesthetics. The C-shaped headlights on the sharp front end, combined with the forward-leaning stance and exaggerated aerodynamic components, exude a fierce and futuristic appeal. The side profile presents a sharp and aggressive look, accentuated by outwardly protruding wheel arches, large five-spoke wheels, and a high-performance brake system. Additionally, the U9 incorporates aerodynamic enhancements with side air intakes and exclusive side skirt components for improved aerodynamics and dynamic handling.
