carwow shows Yangwang U9 Xtreme crossing 500km/h
A split-screen speed run puts the road, the instrument readout and the driver's reaction together, with carwow billing it as a world record.
Why this story? One of the most watched videos since yesterday, with 74,932 views.
Yangwang U9X 500km/h WORLD RECORD! 🔥
The roadside lamps flash past, but the speed display keeps climbing. In carwow's new Short, a Yangwang U9 Xtreme passes 500km/h before its helmeted driver eases off. Only during the slowdown does the celebration come: a shouted "Yes!"
The electric supercar's run appears from several angles at once: the empty road ahead, the driver inside the cockpit and a Racelogic instrument display. That readout peaks just short of 503km/h. Unlike carwow's familiar side-by-side drag races, this clip keeps attention on a single car and its rising speed.
Roughly 75,000 views arrived within its first three hours online. In the comments, viewers pick out the rapidly passing lampposts and how the acceleration appears to continue beyond the headline threshold. One finds a more domestic comparison for the soundtrack: a washing machine's spin cycle.
