Denza unveils 1,604-hp Z electric supercar with 9-minute charging

Denza has unveiled its new flagship sports car, the Z, marking the brand’s entry into the high-performance electric supercar segment. Making its public debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in the UK, the Z combines a triple-motor electric powertrain, ultra-fast charging technology, and a choice of Coupe, Spider, and Racing variants.

Power comes from Denza’s new e3 Sports Car Platform, which uses three electric motors to produce a combined 1,604 hp and 1,240 Nm of torque. The standard Coupe accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.25 seconds, while the track-focused Racing version cuts that to 1.96 seconds with optional semi-slick tires. Top speed ranges from 300 km/h to 350 km/h, depending on the variant.

The Z is also one of the first production EVs to adopt BYD Group’s latest FLASH Charging technology. Using its second-generation Blade Battery and compatible charging hardware, Denza claims the battery can charge from 10% to 97% in just nine minutes, or from 10% to 70% in five minutes. Battery capacity is rated at 76 kWh, with claimed driving ranges of up to 410 km for the Coupe.

Unlike many supercars, the Z features a four-seat cabin, made possible by its 2,780-mm wheelbase. Inside are an 8.88-inch digital instrument cluster, a 12.8-inch infotainment display with Google Built-in, wireless phone charging, powered soft-closing doors, and a Devialet premium sound system. Heated, ventilated, and massage front seats also come standard.

The Racing variant receives several track-oriented upgrades, including additional aerodynamic components, carbon-ceramic brakes, and enhanced cooling for the motors and braking system. Denza says these changes allow it to generate up to 1,060 kg of downforce at 350 km/h. A more extreme Special Edition is also planned, producing over 2,000 hp with a target 0-100 km/h time of under 1.7 seconds ahead of planned Nürburgring lap record attempts.

Suspension is handled by Denza’s new DiSus-M magnetorheological system, which can adjust damping in milliseconds, while the triple-motor setup enables advanced torque vectoring and features such as a tire burst control system and even a “compass turn,” allowing the car to rotate around its front axle.

Orders for the Z Coupe, Spider, and Racing variants are scheduled to begin in selected markets later this year, with first customer deliveries expected before the end of 2026. Denza has yet to announce pricing or market availability outside its initial launch regions.
