BYD Co debuted its most expensive car on Sunday, a 1.68 million yuan ($233,450) high-performance fully-electric supercar pitted against gas-guzzling options offered by rivals such as Ferrari NV and Lamborghini.
The Yangwang U9 will initially be for the China market, the company said at a live-streamed event in Shanghai. The car can hit 100 km/h (62 mph) in 2.36 seconds and reach a top speed of 309.19 km/h, it said.
