Denza has begun testing the hardcore Z Special Edition at the Nürburgring. The high-performance EV will attempt to set a new record this fall.
Upcoming model has a tri-motor powertrain with more than 1,973 hp. At the Goodwood Festival of Speed, BYD’s Denza introduced their new Z supercar.

The company confirmed there will be Coupe, Spider and Racing variants as well as a Special Edition that will attempt to set a new Nürburgring Nordschleife lap record this fall.
It seems like the company is getting in some early practice as a prototype was recently spied on and around the famous track.
As you can see, the model appears to be based on the Z Racing, but is far more extreme.
As a refresher, that variant comes equipped with a carbon fiber front splitter, underfloor vortex generators, and an assortment of vents.
The model can also be equipped with an optional carbon fiber rear wing and these features enable the coupe to generate 2,337 lbs (1,060 kg) of downforce at 217 mph (350 km/h).
The special touches don’t end there as the car’s rear seats can be replaced by a roll cage.
The prototype seen by spy photographers builds on that, but is far more aggressive as it has multiple canards and a larger splitter.
They’re joined by modified bodywork, a massive wing, and a diffuser that takes up roughly a third of the rear end.
