History has been made: a production car has gone faster than 500 km/h for the very first time. The Chinese electric hypercar BYD Yangwang U9 Xtreme set a new world record of 503.17 km/h — almost 140 metres every second. The previous record, 496.22 km/h, belonged to the same model. Under the bodywork sits 2,977 horsepower, the price starts at 245 million rubles, and only 30 of these cars will ever be built.
