Nearly a year has passed since BYD ran the limited-run Yangwang U9 Xtreme to 308.4 mph (496.22 km/h) and took the one-way top speed record for a production car. The Chinese carmaker isn’t done with it either. It’s now planning its next move, and that’ll be breaking through the 311 mph (500 km/h) barrier.
 
As part of BYD’s ongoing expansion in the UK, including the launch of its Denza brand, it had a large display at the recent Goodwood Festival of Speed. Attending the event was none other than BYD vice president Stella Li, who revealed that the brand will attempt to break its own record in November.
