Chinese electrified vehicle specialist BYD is moving further into the premium realm, and its latest model appears to be a direct competitor to Porsche’s flagship grand tourers.
It’s called the Denza Z9 GT, and its design is seemingly heavily inspired by the Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo, with a shooting brake-esque wagon body style.
According to a filing with China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT), the Z9 GT is powered by three electric motors, developing up to 710kW.
The Denza Z9GT comes standard with a panoramic sunroof and an electric rear wing. Optional features include side skirts, roof lidar, front lidar (available with or without a front lidar configuration), carbon fiber decorative parts, streaming media exterior mirrors, and air suspension.
Powering the Denza Z9GT is a trio of motors: a front-mounted AC asynchronous motor and two permanent magnet synchronous motors mounted at the rear. Each motor delivers a peak power output of 230kW, 240kW, and 240kW respectively.
