BackTwice in one year, the U9X returned to the track to push the limits of electric hypercar performance. And on both occasions, it did so equipped with a specially developed tyre: the GitiSport e.GTR2 Pro.
A Collaboration Built for Extremes
The GitiSport e.GTR2 Pro was not adapted from an existing product. It was purpose-built in collaboration with the YANGWANG engineering team to meet the extraordinary demands of a next-generation electric hypercar.
Electric supercars introduce challenges unlike any traditional high-performance vehicle:
- Astronomical torque delivery
- Extreme vehicle mass from battery systems
- High sustained load at ultra-high speeds
- Thermal stress far beyond conventional limits
To safely support nearly 500 km/h, every element of the tyre had to be engineered from the molecular level upward.
Technology That Enables Record-Breaking Speed
The GitiSport e.GTR2 Pro incorporates advanced motorsport-derived innovations:
Molecular Chain Optimisation
Reinforced rubber compounds enhance tensile and tear strength, ensuring structural stability under extreme centrifugal forces.
Ultra-High-Strength Aramid Fibre Reinforcement
Advanced structural materials significantly increase load-bearing capacity and maintain shape integrity at ultra-high speeds.
Next-Generation Racing Profile
Optimised tyre geometry ensures even pressure distribution, reducing heat build-up and energy loss at sustained velocity.
RaceGrip Pro Compound
Race-grade fillers increase grip by 38% while expanding the operating temperature window for consistent performance.
Anti-Standing Wave Structure
Prevents high-speed deformation — validated in 500 km/h indoor testing environments.
Fast Warm-Up Additives
Reduce warm-up time by 60%, ensuring faster priming and optimal grip.
Bionic Sidewall Architecture
Improves lateral support, steering response and high-speed stability.
Despite its extreme capability, the tyre remains CCC and ECE certified, placing it among the elite of street-legal semi-slick performance tyres.
A Milestone in Electric Performance
This achievement represents more than a record. It validates:
- Giti’s capability in ultra-high-performance EV tyre engineering
- Advanced materials and compound innovation
- Structural design expertise at the limits of physics
- Close technical collaboration with leading EV manufacturers
The YANGWANG U9X programme demonstrates that electric mobility is not only sustainable — it can redefine the outer limits of speed.
Pushing the Boundaries Together
The record-breaking performance of the YANGWANG U9X, supported by the GitiSport e.GTR2 Pro, marks a defining chapter in high-performance electric mobility.
Through collaborative engineering, advanced materials science and relentless testing, Giti continues to push the boundaries of what tyres — and electric vehicles — can achieve.
