This time, though, there was no purpose-built test track.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio  is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper video-seo-youtube-embed-wrapper\"><div class=\"video-seo-youtube-player\" data-id=\"4W21qBRQ568\"><\/div><\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Local authorities closed a 10km section of the E11, including a 7 km straight used for the high-speed runs. Because it&#8217;s a working highway close to the desert, crews swept and checked the surface metre by metre, to clear sand and tiny metal fragments that could damage the tyres at that speed. At 503km\/h the car covers almost 140 metres every second, so the whole straight is done in under a minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It wasn&#8217;t a first-time success either. The attempt ran over two days:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>31 October:<\/strong> Two runs, with a best of 490 km\/h.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Overnight:<\/strong> Engineers adjusted the aerodynamics, suspension settings and tyre pressures. According to reports, the changes included more rear wing angle for added downforce, firmer rebound damping for the road&#8217;s undulations, and a new way of bringing the battery and motors up to temperature before each run.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>1 November:<\/strong> Two more runs, and the second one stopped the clock at 503.17 km\/h.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That&#8217;s 6.95 km\/h more than the car&#8217;s own previous best, and enough to take it past the magic 500 km\/h mark for the first time. By the looks of the videos posted, it did seem like the car had more to give, but we have to assume the straight ran out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-the-records-behind-the-headline\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Records Behind The Headline<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here&#8217;s what the U9 Xtreme now holds:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>FIA recognition<\/strong> for the 503.17 km\/h top speed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Guinness World Record<\/strong> for the highest speed achieved by a production car in a single-direction run.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Guinness World Record<\/strong> for the highest speed achieved by an electric production car in a single-direction run.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to reports, the car&#8217;s Giti tyres picked up two more Guinness titles of their own, bringing the total from the run to four.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/d3jvxfsgjxj1vz.cloudfront.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/06143157\/yangwang-u9-xtreme-503-17-kmh-poster-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Yangwang U9 Xtreme Becomes Fastest Car In The World -
