The BYD<\/a>\u2018s Denza Z sports car<\/a> revealed a peak power of 1,180 kW (1,582 hp) and other core specs during the domestic homologation process. This EV with a top speed of 350 km\/h will enter China<\/a> as a four-seat roadster and convertible in July.<\/p>\n

The Denza Z stands out from the brand\u2019s lineup<\/a>, which focuses primarily on comfortable minivans, large crossovers, and grand tourers. The new model is a driver-focused sports car that follows a new design language. It is a planted car with a slanted bonnet line with a real air duct, pronounced rear fenders, a sporty rear diffuser, and diamond-shaped taillights.<\/p>\n

Basics on Denza Z<\/p>\n

The Denza Z comes standard with two body types. The first is a convertible with a soft top. This vehicle also has semi-hidden door handles. It rides on 20-inch wheels with staggered tires (255\/40 in the front and 265\/40 in the rear). <\/p>\n

The second modification of the Denza Z is a hardtop roadster with flush door handles and blackened pillars & roof. The standard variant of this car adopts 20-inch wheels with 255\/40 tires in the front and 295\/35 in the rear. This variant is 20 mm lower than the convertible.

There is also the Denza Z roadster with a sports package. It boasts more aggressive bumpers and a large rear wing mounted on the trunk door. The length of this modification reaches 4,870 mm. It also has 275\/35 ZR21 tires in the front and 325\/30 ZR21 in the rear. Thanks to additional downforce from the rear wing, this car can speed up to 350 km\/h. For comparison, the mentioned AMG GT Coupe has a top speed of 317 km\/h.<\/p>\n

Powertrain<\/p>\n

The Denza Z\u2019s top speed is due to a three-motor layout with a front TZ220QYD e-motor producing 500 kW (670 hp) and two TZ226XYG electric motors in the rear boasting a combined power of 680 kW (912 hp). The combined peak power of this powertrain reaches 1,180 kW (1,582 hp). The AMG GT Coupe has a peak power of 860 kW (1,153 hp).<\/p>\n

Those electric motors are powered by an LFP battery. Its capacity has yet to be revealed. It was previously claimed that the Denza Z will speed up to 100 km\/h in 2 seconds. It will boast the DiSus-M magnetorheological (MR) active suspension, flash charging<\/a>, and the DiPilot 5.0 assisted driving system. More information about the Denza Z will be disclosed closer to the official launch scheduled for July.<\/p>\n

According to China EV DataTracker<\/a>, Denza delivered 15,620 units domestically in May, up 7.3% Year-Over-Year. It is the first truly successful month for the brand this year as it stopped falling Y-O-Y.<\/p>\n
