On December 24, 2025, BYD's premium brand, Yangwang Auto, officially announced the launch of "Extreme Forest," a commemorative color exclusive to the Yangwang U9, to pay tribute to the Yangwang U9 Xtreme's epic achievement of breaking the electric car record at the Nürburgring Nordschleife ("Green Hell"), representing Chinese automobiles.
According to Yangwang Auto's official introduction, the design inspiration for the new "Extreme Forest" color comes from the iconic moment when the world's fastest car, the Yangwang U9 Xtreme, conquered the Nürburgring Nordschleife: as the car sped along at extreme speed, the forest scenery outside the window blurred due to the high speed, and the overlapping shades of green eventually merged into a unique hue. This color not only captures the visual impression under "extreme" speed but also symbolizes the harmonious fusion of performance and nature.
The Yangwang U9 "Extreme Forest" is more than just a concept design; it's backed by advanced materials and painting processes.
Four-Layer Coating Structure: The paint uses four precision coatings to carry specially formulated mica pigments, achieving precise color rendering through micron-level film thickness control.
Core Technology: The primer provides a robust foundation, with a precise overlay of the base color layer and pearlescent layer. Multiple layers of pearlescent material combined with nano-optical particles achieve dynamic spectral response, allowing the paint to display a dynamic and profound changing effect under different lighting and viewing angles.
The Yangwang U9 is a million-yuan-level pure electric performance supercar launched by Yangwang, BYD's high-end brand.
Release Date and Price: Officially launched on February 25, 2024, with a list price of 1.68 million RMB.
Delivery Progress: The first batch of deliveries began in late August 2024.
Other Color Options: In addition to the original Moonlight Silver, Argyle Purple, and Crimson Sunset, this commemorative color has been added.
The new "Extreme Forest" color pays tribute to the glorious achievements of the Yangwang U9 Xtreme version.
Track Achievements: As previously reported, the Yangwang U9 Xtreme is positioned as an ultimate track machine, having topped the global car speed record with a top speed of 496.22 km/h, and achieving a lap time of 6 minutes 59.157 seconds at the Nürburgring, demonstrating its top-tier performance in the electric vehicle field.
The launch of the BYD Yangwang U9 "Extreme Forest" exclusive commemorative color not only adds a new appearance option to a top-tier supercar, but also serves as a concrete commemoration of a landmark technological victory for a Chinese brand. It integrates advanced paint technology with profound design narrative, representing a solid step forward for China's high-end automobile industry in technological innovation and brand value creation, and providing a model of design and technology integration for the entire engineering and automotive industry.
