It's the first supercar that can actually fly. Well, hop.
China's BYD has revealed one of the eye-popping features its upcoming YangWang U9 supercar will offer.
Along with a 1,100 hp electric powertrain capable of accelerating it to 60 mph in just two seconds, the U9 has a hyper-active suspension system.
The BYD DiSus uses computer-operated air and hydraulic systems that can control each corner of the vehicle individually.

It hasn't released the details on how it works, but several videos demonstrate it in action.
In one, the car wobbles like Lighting McQueen having an animated conversation.
Another shows it riding along on just three wheels as the suspension keeps the corner without one from dragging on the ground. Then the entire vehicle gets off the ground.
The vehicle squats and leaps a couple of inches with all four tires in the air. It's not really a useful feature, but demonstrates the capability of the suspension.

"The BYD DiSus system is the first self-developed intelligent body control system launched by a Chinese automobile company, marking the breakthrough from zero to one," Wang Chuanfu, chairman and president of BYD, said. "The BYD DiSus System will further secure the globally pioneering stance for BYD in the industry."
The Warren Buffett-backed BYD has apparently beat Tesla to market with a car that can get airborne. Tesla CEO Elon Musk has promised that the next-generation Roadster will be offered with an rocket system that will allow it to fly a "little" in "short hops," but has yet to show it in action.
The BYD YangWang U9 will be priced around $145,000, but there are not yet any plans to export it to the U.S.
