At the Yangwang U9 Xtreme speed record celebration event in Abu Dhabi, Li Ke, Executive Vice President of BYD, responded to rumors of acquiring Maserati, saying that interest might have been higher a few years ago, but BYD has since forged its own correct path, and the possibility of an acquisition at this stage is very low. The rumor had previously sparked heated discussion, and BYD had refuted it, stating that it was only in talks with Stellantis Group to acquire its idle European factories and that no brand acquisition was involved. As the Yangwang U9 Xtreme received dual certification from the FIA and Guinness World Records with a top speed of 503.17 km/h, becoming the world's fastest production car, the Yangwang brand has successfully established itself. BYD stated that it will focus more on its own brands such as Denza and Yangwang, believing that building brands independently is more aligned with the future and better able to realize technological value. It now has the capability to independently build a Chinese luxury brand and take it global, and acquiring other luxury brands is of little significance.
