BYD's Porsche 911-rivalling Denza Z spied testing at the Nürburgring

BYD is preparing to back up its Yangwang U9 with yet another electric supercar, this time from its other premium marque, Denza .

But where the 'jumping' Yangwang U9 is a much more futuristic supercar, the Denza Z's mid-engined shape suggests it'll sit a few rungs lower on the sports car ladder, likely aimed squarely at the Porsche 911 – even if it shares its name with the less exclusive Nissan Z coupe.
