BYD also cater for the top-end of the motoring market. Like their U8, in the Toyota Landcruiser class. Except it's bigger than a Landcruiser (over 5m long), and can do 0-100 in 3 seconds. It can also 'tank turn' (turn on the same spot without moving forward or backwards), because each wheel is independently driven by its own electric motor. Its computer drive control is so sophisticated the car can continue to drive at up to 120 km/h with a flat tyre. It has a range of 1000 km. It can float in water, an amphibious vehicle.
