Denza was originally founded in 2010 as a joint venture between BYD and Mercedes-Benz, launching its first car into the Chinese market in 2014. Now wholly owned by BYD, it went through a significant rebrand in 2021, with Wolfgang Egger\u2014who previously led design teams at Audi and Lamborghini\u2014joining at the helm as chief designer.<\/p>\n

The Z9GT has been chodsen by BYD as the Denza car to launch into the market because it apparently represents the \u201cbest of BYD technology and the best of BYD design,\u201d Li says.<\/p>\n

At its heart is Denza\u2019s own e3<\/sup> Platform, which brings a number of headline features. Certainly one of the most striking is its rear-wheel dual-motor independent steering, which enables the right and left wheels to steer independently of the front axle and of each other. As well as allowing drivers to toe in and toe out of tight spaces, it also allows the car to \u201ccrab walk\u201d\u2014where the auto seemingly glides in a sideways motion\u2014up to an industry-leading angle of 15 degrees.<\/p>\n

This eminently useful lateral trickery is all controlled by Z9GT\u2019s Vehicle Motion Control architecture, which can take over braking, suspension, and steering\u2014even in the case of a high-speed tire blowout, where it can adjust the torque of the unaffected tires, redistributing the power at speeds of over 110 mph.<\/p>\n

The e3<\/sup> Platform allows the Z9GT to adopt a Cell-to-Body structure, which sees the Blade Battery integrated into the car\u2019s architecture, as seen in the BYD Seal<\/a>. Aside from a stiffening boon to the chassis, this ensures a fully flat floor and helps to create an additional 15-millimeter vertical space in the cabin for as much room inside as possible.<\/p>\n
