An unusual drag race between hybrid BYD and gasoline competitors

They did an interesting test in China , from where we don't get so much automotive news. The hybrid BYD Qin , the alleged showcase of its advanced technology, was pitted against several purely sporty "competitors" .

In the attached video, you will see Subaru BRZ , Volkswagen Golf GTI, Ford Focus ST or Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VIII, among others. And against them the silver BYD Qin .

Before you watch the video itself, we will tell you a little about the incriminated car. Under its hood beats a hybrid heart , consisting of two electric motors and a turbocharged gasoline engine with a volume of 1.5 liters. The total output of the BYD is 303 hp and the maximum torque reaches 440 Nm. Acceleration to 100 km/h takes about 6 seconds and the maximum speed is limited to 185 km/h.
