BYD’s Denza to Launch 1,000hp+ Z9 GT in India: Electric Super-Tourer

The high-end performance luxury segment in India is set to welcome an unexpected powerhouse. Denza, the premium performance brand under the BYD umbrella, is gearing up to introduce its flagship grand tourer—the Denza Z9 GT—to the Indian market. Boasting an aerodynamic shooting-brake silhouette and staggering four-digit horsepower, the Z9 GT takes direct aim at hyper-sedans like the Porsche Taycan Sport Turismo and Panamera.

1. Tri-Motor All-Wheel Drive with Over 1,000 Horsepower

Underneath its dramatic 5.18-metre body lies BYD’s state-of-the-art e4 platform architecture:

• Powertrain: Three independent electric motors (one on the front axle and two dedicated motors on the rear wheels).
• Total Output: Over 1,000 bhp (接近 965 PS) and 1,050 Nm of instantaneous torque.
• Acceleration: 0 to 100 km/h obliterated in just 2.9 seconds.
• Battery & Range: 100 kWh Blade Battery pack delivering over 630 km of certified driving range.

2. Dual-Motor Independent Rear Steering & Crab Walk

The standout technical achievement of the Z9 GT is its revolutionary rear-wheel steering system:

• Both rear wheels can turn independently by up to 20 degrees in opposite or identical directions.
• Allows the car to perform a compass turn (rotating around its front axle) and crab walk diagonally into ultra-tight parallel parking spots.
• Turning radius drops to just 4.62 metres—tighter than a compact city hatchback.

3. Executive First-Class Lounge

• Dual onboard refrigerators (cooling down to -6°C and heating up to 50°C) for front and rear passengers.
• Triple dashboard displays with integrated Devialet 26-speaker acoustic theater sound.
