BYD unveils a spectacular video showcasing the impressive capabilities of its electric supercar YangWang U9.
We knew that the YangWang U9, a 100% electric supercar developed by BYD, could go very fast with a top speed validated at 375 km/h. Now, we know it can also leap over various obstacles thanks to its Disus X suspension system. While this feat may seem entertaining at first glance, it paves the way for a potential revolution.
In a video posted on social media by BYD, the YangWang U9 drives at 120 km/h on a driverless test track. The first obstacle encountered is a water-filled pothole, 2.5 meters wide. Thanks to its advanced hydraulic system, the car leaps over more than 6 meters to avoid it. Then, it faces a field of 3.5 cm tall metal spikes, which it also crosses with a precise jump. These demonstrations highlight the potential of this technology to solve some recurring road safety issues.
The Disus X suspension not only enables spectacular jumps but also allows for three-wheeled driving or some “dancing” steps. These innovations, although seemingly futuristic, could have real and tangible applications, such as reducing damage caused by damaged roads or unexpected obstacles. In a world where road infrastructure is often degraded, advanced active suspension could offer increased safety and comfort for drivers.
Far from being just a gadget for supercars, BYD’s Disus X system could herald the future of active suspensions in mass-produced vehicles. Imagine cars that can dynamically adapt to their environment by avoiding obstacles or minimizing shocks. This could also reduce tire and mechanical component wear while improving energy efficiency.
