BYD's next all-electric hypercar is a convertible that's coming to Europe first
BYD may be known for its affordable all-electric cars, but that doesn't mean it won't dabble in the occasional hypercar under one of its subsidiary brands. Through its Denza subbrand, BYD unveiled the Denza Z, a hypercar that can push out more than 1,000 horsepower with an all-electric motor, at the Beijing Auto Show. According to CarNewsChina, the Denza A can hit 0 to 60 mph in less than two seconds, rivaling the likes of the Rimac Nivera.
BYD first showed off the Denza Z as a concept during the Shanghai Auto Show in 2025. A year later, the Chinese EV maker confirmed its latest hypercar as a four-seater that will come in hard-top, convertible and "track" configurations. BYD hasn't revealed the Denza Z's full specs yet, so we're not sure what differentiates the track edition. So far, the company has shared that it would use the company's intelligent suspension system called DiSus-M, which is similar to Chevrolet Corvette's Magnetic Ride Control, and its Flash Charging system. BYD also told AutoExpress that the Denza Z will have some of the features seen with the BYD's YangWang U9, like autonomous driving and "tank turning."
Surprisingly, BYD is planning to release the Denza Z to Europe first, with an inaugural ride at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in the UK in July. The automaker hasn't revealed pricing yet, but it should be more available than BYD's other hypercar under its YangWang subsidiary that's limited to 30 units.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/transportation/evs/byds-next-all-electric-hypercar-is-a-convertible-thats-coming-to-europe-first-233050130.html?src=rss
