Back in November 2025, BYD big boss Stella Li told TG the all-electric Denza Z supercar would launch in the UK<\/a> (and other markets outside of China) with a debut at this year\u2019s Goodwood Festival of Speed.<\/p>\n

What Li failed to mention at the time was the Denza Z would launch in coupe form as well as a droptop convertible too. Surprise!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Here it is fresh from its local market unveiling at the Beijing Auto Show. We\u2019ll get more pics and details in the summer, but for now we know that its output will be around 1,000bhp (perhaps the 952bhp tri-motor setup from the Z9 GT), that it\u2019s claiming 0-62mph in less than two seconds, and that the retractable roof here is a fabric soft top.<\/p>\n

Actually, we also know the Z will get an \u2018intelligent magnetorheological body-control system\u2019 that\u2019s essentially fancy active suspension, and that it\u2019ll get BYD\u2019s 1,500kW \u2018Flash Charging\u2019. Side note: those bonkers quick chargers are also coming to the UK. Hurrah!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

And of course, the styling has been penned by former Alfa and Audi design boss Wolfgang Egger. Looks pretty sleek.<\/p>\n

Denza\u2019s BYD overlords say the Z has already commenced \u201ctesting and lap-record runs at the legendary N\u00fcrburgring\u201d and that a public competition is underway to provide a name for each of the three variants that\u2019ll eventually reach production. Those variants are the standard coupe, this convertible and a track-focused Z. Tracky McTrackface is right there, people.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
