BYD turned its luxury EV into a Swiss auto piece of jewelry, and it sold for a record $800,000+

The Denza Z9 GT Chopard Edition is infused with gold accents, rare gemstones, and BYD’s new Flash Charging system, enabling it to recharge as quickly as refueling.

Meet the Denza Z9 GT Chopard Edition

BYD teamed up with renowned Swiss luxury brand Chopard for the exclusive one-off Denza Z9 GT Chopard Edition model.

The tailor-made vehicle was showcased at a black-tie event during the 2026 Cannes Film Festival in France and was donated to raise funds for AIDS Research.

“The DENZA Chopard tailor-made Z9GT is the perfect example of how the finest technology becomes natural, almost invisible – but more than that, it shows how a refined house of luxury can take the finest details and raise them to another level altogether,” BYD’s executive vice president, Stella Li, said during the event.
