DENZA Z Electric Hypercar Debuts at Goodwood: 1,582 HP, Lightning-Fast Charging, and Record-Breaking Ambitions
July 9, 2026
The DENZA Z is an all-electric hypercar unveiled at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, packing a triple-motor setup that delivers 1,582 horsepower and uses BYD’s 76-kWh Blade Battery with 1,500 kW FLASH Charging for rapid 10% to 97% charging in about nine minutes.
BYD’s steer-by-wire e3 platform and advanced suspension underpin the DENZA Z, paired with a digital cockpit featuring an 8.8-inch display.
Flash charging is claimed to deliver 10% to 97% in nine minutes using BYD’s 1.5 MW infrastructure, though charging performance depends on temperature and widespread Megawatt charging is not yet common in Europe.
Inside, the cabin emphasizes motorsport-inspired styling with twin high-end displays, Google Built-in, Devialet audio, wireless charging, and Track Mode for telemetry‑driven driving.
At Goodwood, the lineup includes Z Coupé and Z Racing as world premieres, with a Nürburgring edition planned for autumn to pursue records; the cars measure about 4,780 mm in length, making them the smallest Denza models in Europe.
Available in Coupe, Spider, and Racing variants, the DENZA Z features three electric motors (one on the front axle, two on the rear) and accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in roughly 1.96 to 2.30 seconds depending on variant and tire choice.
Denza positions the Z as BYD’s performance model, with a peak output of 1,180 kW and a 0-100 km/h time of 1.96 seconds, eyeing competition with European and US performance brands.
Orders for the Coupe, Spider, and Racing are slated to open in the summer with deliveries by year-end, while a Nürburgring-focused Special Edition is in development for record attempts.
Standard premium features include heated seats, soft-closing doors, a digital rear-view mirror, V2L, a DENZA app, and extensive driver-assistance systems, with extensive customization options for colors and trims.
Chassis tech includes DiSus-M magnetorheological adaptive suspension, triple-motor torque vectoring, Vehicle Motion Control, carbon-ceramic brakes, and a 15-in-1 integrated drive unit to optimize handling for both road and track.
The DENZA Z uses BYD’s second-generation Blade Battery and a Cell-to-Body design, offering about 254 miles for the Coupe and 248–236 miles for the other variants, with emphasis on weight reduction and cabin space.
Price details and exact European launch timing have not been disclosed.
