Chinese Car Boss Says Her Company Makes Better Electric Cars Than Ferrari

May 29, 2026 · The Independent

BYD executive thinks her company's electric supercar beats Ferrari's new Luce model.

Chinese car companies are becoming more competitive with famous European brands. BYD is one of the biggest Chinese car makers, and they specialize in electric vehicles and batteries. The company has grown quickly over the past few years and now sells cars around the world. Their success shows how Chinese companies are changing the car industry.

Electric cars are becoming more popular as people worry about pollution and climate change. Many traditional car companies that used to only make gasoline cars are now making electric ones too. This change is happening because governments are encouraging cleaner transportation. Even luxury sports car makers like Ferrari are joining the electric car trend.

The competition between car companies is getting more intense, especially in the electric car market. Companies are trying to make their cars faster, more efficient, and more appealing to customers. This competition is good for consumers because it leads to better cars and new technology. Young engineers at these companies are excited to work on cutting-edge projects.

Racing has always been important for car companies to show off their technology and engineering skills. Formula One racing is watched by millions of people around the world, making it a great place for companies to advertise. If BYD joins Formula One, it would be a big step for Chinese car companies in international racing. This could help BYD become even more famous globally.

I like it, but I prefer the U9 - the U9 is much better.
