en.Wedoany.com Reported - Denza, the premium brand under BYD, has equipped its sports touring car Z9GT with an autonomous drift mode. The driver draws a shape on the central display, and the vehicle automatically completes the drift along that outline. This feature is installed via a wireless update and is currently only available for vehicles in the Chinese market.

The autonomous drift function is exclusive to the all-electric Denza Z9GT EV. This model's German version boasts 1,156 horsepower and 1,210 Nm of torque, driven by three electric motors—one on the front axle and two on the rear axle. Additionally, Denza will offer a plug-in hybrid variant with 870 horsepower.

The autonomous drift mode is one of several unconventional features of this model. The Z9GT is reportedly capable of safely stopping after a tire blowout at speeds of 180 km/h, thanks to the coordination of its assistance systems. Another "crab walk mode" allows the rear wheels to move independently and participate in steering, while the front wheels can even remain completely stationary, enabling the vehicle to perform a zero-radius turn.

In terms of pricing, the plug-in hybrid Z9GT starts at 128,000 euros in the German configurator, while the electric version requires an additional 14,000 euros. Pre-orders are currently underway, with the first vehicles expected to begin delivery in September 2026.
