The road to 503.17 km/h.
A dated timeline of U9 programme speed milestones, with the regular car and Xtreme named separately.
Updated · Yangwang Insider
The earlier U9 programme
The FIA’s retrospective reports 309 km/h for the original U9 during testing in China in January 2024, followed by 391.94 km/h at ATP Papenburg in October 2024.
The Xtreme milestones
The same account records 472.41 km/h in August 2025 and 496.22 km/h the following month for the U9 Xtreme. Those steps explain which benchmark the subsequent Abu Dhabi run exceeded.
November 2026
On 1 November, the U9 Xtreme reached 503.17 km/h on a closed road section in Abu Dhabi. The FIA published its recognition on 6 November. The figures in this timeline are the milestones described in that report, rather than a table of results measured under identical conditions.
