"China's BYD has revealed one of the eye-popping features its upcoming YangWang U9 #supercar will offer." (Instagram)
The car can squat and leap up, bringing all four tyres off the ground and into the air.
"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." (Instagram)

Looks pretty cool, but there's no value in it except it being a show-stopping feature.
It adds no value to the actual mechanics of the car, it merely displays the capability of the car's suspension.
"The #BYD has apparently beat Tesla to market with a car that can get airborne. #Tesla CEO #ElonMusk 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." (Instagram)
