The new 1,600+ horsepower EV hypercar from BYD's Denza marque eschews the massive wings of its rivals, claiming a breakthrough in underbody aerodynamics. But is its reliance on ground effect a revolutionary step for heavy electric supercars, or a high-speed gamble against the laws of physics?
At first glance, the Denza Z Racing is a study in contradiction. It presents a silhouette that is unnervingly clean, a long, flowing shooting-brake form uninterrupted by the…
The crux of Denza’s audacious claim lies not above the car, but beneath it. The Z Racing’s stability at speeds purported to exceed 300 mph is not derived from air pushing down on…
