BYD has revealed the interior of its Fang Cheng Bao Formula X supercar, a carbon-fiber coupe with aggressive aerodynamics. Production is slated for 2027, with a potential Gulf arrival in 2028-2029. Estimated price: over $400,000.
BYD has taken the wraps off the cabin of its experimental supercar, the Formula X, under its luxury Fang Cheng Bao (FCB) brand. The coupe features a carbon-fiber body and a futuristic interior, with production expected to begin around 2027, according to CarNewsChina.
What does the Formula X interior look like?
Leaked images reveal a driver-focused cockpit with multiple digital screens, a flat-bottomed sports steering wheel, and premium leather seats with high side bolsters. The center console boasts metallic controls and carbon-fiber accents, blending luxury with a racing edge.
What powertrain can we expect?
BYD has not confirmed specs, but industry speculation points to a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) or fully electric setup, leveraging BYD’s battery expertise. The carbon-fiber chassis hints at a lightweight build, potentially enabling 0-100 km/h in under 3 seconds.
How much will the Formula X cost in Saudi Arabia?
Estimated pricing exceeds SAR 1.5 million (approximately USD 400,000). This positions the Formula X against established supercar rivals like the Ferrari SF90 Stradale and Lamborghini Revuelto. BYD’s strategy may involve undercutting competitors while offering cutting-edge EV tech.
When will the Formula X arrive in the Gulf?
With production planned for 2027, Gulf markets like Saudi Arabia and the UAE could see the car by 2028 or 2029. BYD already has a presence in the region, and the supercar would likely be sold through existing dealerships. The Gulf’s hot climate may pose challenges for battery cooling, but BYD’s Blade battery technology is known for thermal resilience.
