Not too long ago if you were looking for a powerful, premium electric car with around 1,000 horsepower your options were limited to the Porsche Taycan or Audi RS e-tron GT, then came models like the Lotus Emeya, but now there’s a new kid on the block, the Denza Z9 GT.
Just like Lexus makes posh Toyotas, Denza is a luxury sub-brand of Chinese giant BYD, and it has its sights firmly set on establish rivals like BMW, Audi and Mercedes-Benz. So, does the Denza Z9 GT have what it takes? In this video Rory Reid gets behind the wheel to find out. Initial impressions count for a lot, and performance is not the only trick up the Z9 GT’s sleeve. This is a car packed with tech, creature comforts and even Daniel Craig makes a cameo appearance. Oh, and it can also walk like a crab and pirouette like a ballerina. But the big question is, does the Denza Z9 GT do enough to win Rory over? You’ll have to watch the video to find out his final verdict. Would you buy a Denza over a BMW or Audi? Let Rory know your thoughts in the YouTube comments.
