Yangwang U8 to make 2024 Festival of Speed debut

It's a utilitarian SUV that we have had here at Goodwood briefly for Media Drive Day and now it’ll be in the First Glance batch at the Festival of Speed.

BYD will of course be out in force with the commendable Seal saloon car, as well as the all-new Seal U DM-i, a plug-in hybrid family SUV. It’ll also be joining the Denza D9 premium MPV, which is BYD's answer to the Lexus LM luxury van, a vehicle that’s sold almost 20,000 units in its native China.

“The Goodwood Festival of Speed is one of the most significant automotive events in the world,” said Michael Shu, Managing Director, BYD Europe.

“We are excited to partner with the Goodwood Festival of Speed and showcase our latest innovations to a passionate automotive audience. This event is the perfect platform to present our unprecedented new energy vehicle technologies and introduce our pioneering vehicles from both BYD and Yangwang. 

“Our goal is to bring visitors an experience beyond imagination, highlighting how our leading technology and pioneering products are driving the future of the automotive industry. We look forward to engaging with visitors and demonstrating our commitment to sustainability and cutting-edge technology.”
