- Denza, BYD's sub-brand, revealed UK pricing for the Denza Z electric supercar at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, with three variants: Coupe from £142,900 (~$192K), Spider from £159,900 (~$215K), and Racing from £172,900 (~$232K)
- All Denza Z variants feature three electric motors producing 1,582 hp (1,604 PS), with the Racing variant hitting 0-62 mph in 1.96 seconds and a 217 mph top speed on optional semi-slick tires
- Built on BYD's e3 platform with an 800V architecture, the Denza Z uses Flash Charging to recharge from 10% to 70% in as little as five minutes
- A 76 kWh BYD Blade Battery 2.0 powers the lineup, delivering WLTP ranges of 410 km (Coupe), 400 km (Spider), and 380 km (Racing)
- The Denza Z Coupe undercuts the Porsche 911 Turbo S by over £56,000 (£142,900 vs £199,100) while delivering more than double the Porsche's 701 hp
- Customer deliveries begin by the end of 2026, coinciding with the opening of the first Denza retail stores
Why it matters: At £142,900, the Denza Z Coupe undercuts the Porsche 911 Turbo S by over £56,000 while delivering 881 more horsepower — a direct price-to-performance challenge aimed at Porsche, BMW, and Mercedes in the high-margin supercar segment. With deliveries starting late 2026, BYD is leveraging its sub-brand to compete where Chinese automakers have historically had no presence.
