The exclusive electric shooting brake made its debut during charity events connected to the Cannes Film Festival in Antibes. The car exists as a one-off creation designed specifically for auction.
The project combined cutting-edge Chinese engineering with classic European luxury craftsmanship, serving as a striking symbol of the brand’s growing international ambitions.
After intense bidding, the final hammer price reached €700,000, making it one of the most expensive sales in the company’s history.
The bespoke version was heavily influenced by Swiss jewelry and watchmaker Chopard.
The vehicle’s exterior received exclusive gold accents, while the interior was transformed into a showcase of jewelry-inspired craftsmanship.
The collaboration extended beyond the car itself. The winning bidder also received matching luxury “his and hers” watches from Chopard, along with a set of custom-made travel luggage.
Beneath the luxurious exterior sits advanced technology developed by BYD, including the company’s e3 platform and second-generation Blade Battery lithium iron phosphate technology.
The tri-motor version produces an astonishing 960 horsepower, allowing the grand tourer to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in under three seconds.
Meanwhile, the rear-wheel-drive variant focuses on maximum range and is capable of traveling up to 800 kilometers on a single charge.
Inside the cabin, comfort was engineered to the highest standard.
Passengers can enjoy an immersive audio system created in collaboration with iconic French sound company Devialet.
The custom sound system supports Dolby Atmos immersive audio technology, delivering exceptional clarity, depth, and surround sound separation throughout the cabin.
