On November 1, the Yangwang U9X, driven by German racing driver Marc Basseng, achieved a speed of 503.17 km/h on a closed test section of the E11 highway in Abu Dhabi, UAE. The result earned two Guinness World Records—for the world's fastest production road car and the world's fastest electric vehicle—and was certified by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA). In September 2025, the same driver had driven the car to 496.22 km/h at the ATP test track in Papenburg, Germany, and this time improved the record by 6.95 km/h. On the evening of November 6 local time, the Yangwang U9X Speed Night was held beneath the Burj Khalifa in Dubai. The 828-meter-tall Burj Khalifa staged a light show, with more than 3,000 Yangwang users, media representatives and guests in attendance. The Yangwang U9X features a full-domain 1,200V ultra-high-voltage platform, four electric motors with a maximum speed of 30,000 rpm, a combined output of 3,019 horsepower, and specially developed semi-slick tires co-developed with Giti. The car had previously lapped the Nürburgring Nordschleife in 6 minutes 59.157 seconds. On November 7 local time, the Yangwang U9X led a parade of 110 vehicles from BYD Group's Yangwang, Denza and BYD brands in Abu Dhabi. The convoy passed multiple local landmarks before arriving at the Mandarin Oriental Emirates Palace, where the Yangwang sedan Dingyao made its global debut.
