During tests at Germany’s ATP Automotive Testing Papenburg track, YANGWANG’s U9 Track Edition achieved a new world record for the fastest electric car at 472.41 km/h. This accomplishment illustrates that EV performance tyres are now necessary for the growth of electric vehicles.
For electric vehicles, performance is usually measured in acceleration, efficiency, and range. But pushing beyond 293 mph requires absolute trust in tyre innovation — the only link between car and track.
The Yangwang U9’s success shows how Giti’s high-performance tyre technology can withstand extreme speed, heat, and pressure while ensuring stability and safety.

The Yangwang U9 established a record because of its specialised tyre technology. This technology can handle very high speeds and power delivery thanks to new ideas that integrate motorsport engineering with the needs of electric vehicles.

This milestone is not only a win for BYD’s Yangwang brand, but also a proud achievement for Giti Tires. With a strong presence in Singapore, local drivers can take pride in knowing that a home-based tire manufacturer is helping redefine EV performance worldwide.
At Tire Pte Ltd, we celebrate this milestone as a reflection of how far tyre innovation has come. Tyres are no longer just rubber — they are high-tech performance enablers.
We congratulate Giti Tires and BYD’s Yangwang team on setting this incredible EV speed record.
