The Chinese from Byd have a brand dedicated to electric models and plug-in hybrids with top engineering, called Yangwang. It’s that brand that uses hydropneumatic suspension advancewhich allows cars to overcome almost unwavering bumps, in a NIO models, and even run on 3 wheels. And the most efficient Yangwang model is the U9 electric hypercar, which has 4 electromotors and a total power of over 1,300 hp, in a direct attempt to approach Rimac Nevera. However, the Chinese have failed to provide this model with the supreme precision and engineering that could be able to huge weight on the circuits, and the Yangwang U9 has made known the first model in the world that managed to girded even the ceramic and carbon brakes. In the tests that byd admits, Youtuber-ii are urged To travel only an intense short tour with the car, after which it is necessary for at least a slow cooling tour. And because of the huge weight, the acceleration is not as impressive as in Rimac Nevera. Well, now the Chinese seem to be determined to correct their escape and prepare a 3,000 hp version of this model. Only the boss Bugatti Rimac, Mate Rimac, has announced that they will be able to do that.
The Chinese seem to have set their target of 3,000 hp, to overcome the current Rimac Nevera R, of 2,107 hp, which has set 24 world acceleration, speed and braking records ONE day in July 2025. It is true that two days ago Koenigsegg Jesko absolute Ia kill Some of these records, but among the electric cars, the wicked remains uninterrupted.
Byd have already submitted the approval documents for the new Yangwang U9 Track Edition, for which a maximum power of 2,220 kW or 3,018 hp is specified! Each of the 4 electric motors would be able to develop 555 kW, and thus the total power would reach 2.22 MW! It is a huge power, comparable to the power I make some smaller trains or ships!
It is a huge jump to the current version of the U9, therefore, which delivers 960 kW, or 1,305 hp. And Mate Rimac, the man who is the founder of the company who can name and mind the main engineering for Rimac Nevera, publicly declared that he will question that this will be truly possible, and believes that Byd will cheat on the notion of maximum power.
Initially, Mate Rimac said that it was not very deeply studied the engineering that the Chinese have prepared for this model, but it estimates that the electromotors can provide 555 kW in maximum power regime, but the other components of the system, such as the battery and inverters will not be able to provide such a stream of power, so that the de facto power will be lower.
Asked why he treats Chinese skepticism, if they have evolved so much lately, Mate Rimac has conducted several arguments in support of his position. He says he has seen many examples lately by the maximum power communicated wrong, when, in fact, things are a little different in real life.
“Most Chinese electric models use LFP batteries, and I doubt they can deliver a download rate over 20C, even for a complete second, a rate that would be needed to support a propulsion system over 2 MW” – says Mate Rimac.
And simple calculations show us that Mate Rimac is perfectly right, at 2.22 MW power, batteries must be able to be downloaded at such a pace, and as such a Hypercar with LFP batteries will not tend to have more than 100-110 kWh capacity, 2,220 kW reports to 100-110 kW results in exactly that 20-22C.
“Rimac Nevera R is practically the most efficient electric car in the world, with the most advanced battery cell technology, and it can provide 1.5 MW” – continues Mate Rimac. “In the case of Nevera R, the battery can provide more power, but the electromotors and inverters are at their top limit, as are the tires. These inverters and electromotors could be taken to 2 MW for a maximum of two seconds, because more time could not provide this energy flow, but at 2 MW already all the mechanical components of the treadmill should be reached.” Bugatti Rimac chief.
“We, with Rimac Nevera, are already above the adhesion limit that the best performance on the market can provide from 0 to 100 miles to hour, so the limiting factor is the adhesion of the tires up to 160 km/h. With 2 MW power, it is very likely that you could not put all the power until after 250 km/h”.
He also continues with a remark worthy to put on the walls of the halls where the engineers work – “the maximum power is only a number. How that power is delivered and how it is sustained, it is what determines the true performance.” Mate Rimac also says that “you can see on the video with the latest stability records it is nevera r How the car extracts its huge power in real time.”
And here he mentions what we had said in that article with video With the record of Nevera, where we indicate that the car consumes 1% of the battery every 2 seconds in its episodes of maximum supported acceleration.
Of the 108 kWh of the battery, 1% means 1.08 kWh at 2 seconds, or 0.54 kWh per second. Since in one hour there are 3,600 seconds, we have a power of 1,944 kW, which is even more than the maximum power of the car of 2,107 hp, as 2,107 hp means 1,550 kW. The difference noticed here can be from the losses in the battery, but also from the inaccuracy of measurement, through the timeline of a video. But at 1,944 kw discharge power, that means an 18 C rate of discharge. And at the 3,000 hp or 2.22 MW that the Chinese want, they should climb over 20-22c only for propulsion, and 25C to cover other sources of consumption and losses. Therefore, we can understand the arguments of Mate Rimac and his skepticism to what the Chinese have already deposited for approval.
Now, the great curiosity is whether the engineering arguments of Mate Rimac will also be on the series car, which will have a maximum power of only 1-2 seconds, as is already with several Mercedes-AMG electric and Porsche models, and in the end we will see a 3,000 hp hypercar that can not take a complete tour. Equally justified, however, it is to ask ourselves if a scenario will be repeated in which someone is questioning the performance of the Chinese from the byd, but eventually they manage to demonstrate the impossible and to detach the one who bent from them.
