RIFFA, BAHRAIN, October 11, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Fakhro Motors, the exclusive distributor for BYD, DENZA & YANGWANG in Bahrain, is set to participate in the Royal Bahrain Concours this November as an Automotive Partner. The company will bring the YANGWANG U9 Xtreme to the Royal Golf Club for the event’s second iteration.
This collaboration injects a high-performance electric presence into a weekend dedicated to celebrating remarkable automobiles. The centerpiece of the display is the U9 Xtreme (U9X), the top-tier performance model from YANGWANG, which serves as BYD’s ultra-luxury sub brand.
For attendees, the showcase represents a rare opportunity. Since global production is strictly capped at only 30 units, the U9X stands as an exceptionally scarce collector’s piece. Those who attend the event will get a close-range view of a vehicle that virtually no one outside this circle will likely ever encounter.
That extreme scarcity is matched by performance that shatters records. In September 2025, the U9X established a new global speed benchmark for production vehicles by hitting 496.22 km/h at a German testing facility. The velocity is powered by four high-performance electric motors that generate more than 3,000 horsepower.
Underneath its streamlined shell, the hypercar incorporates sophisticated technology aimed at both luxury comfort and track-ready capability. It relies on a high-voltage electrical architecture, BYD’s fast-charging Blade Battery, and an intelligent suspension system engineered for the racetrack, all of which enable the U9X to deliver exceptional handling alongside its immense power output.
By presenting the YANGWANG U9 Xtreme, Fakhro Motors is giving motoring enthusiasts an uncommon glimpse into the future of hypercars—a moment where groundbreaking speed and extreme rarity converge.
The Royal Bahrain Concours bridges the classic and contemporary automotive worlds, highlighting the ideas, engineering, and craftsmanship that connect historic landmark vehicles with today’s performance machines.
The 2026 edition marks the second year of the Royal Bahrain Concours, featuring 70 exceptional collector cars. Additionally, up to 100 vehicles will be showcased under the ‘RBC Car Clubs’ banner within the Royal Golf Club grounds, with every car hand-selected by the RBC Car Club Steering Committee.
Amer Al Khan, Vice-Chairman of the Royal Bahrain Concours, commented: “We are delighted to welcome Fakhro Motors and BYD to the Royal Bahrain Concours for 2026. The YANGWANG U9 Xtreme is an extraordinary demonstration of just how rapidly automotive engineering is evolving.”
“A great concours should tell the full story of the motor car, from significant historic machinery to the technologies shaping the cars of tomorrow. Bringing the U9 Xtreme to the Royal Golf Club gives our guests the opportunity to see those two worlds side by side.”
Mohammed Fakhro, Manging Director of Fakhro Motors, added: “The Royal Bahrain Concours is an ideal setting in which to showcase the innovation and engineering behind BYD and YANGWANG, and to engage with Bahrain’s knowledgeable community of collectors, owners and enthusiasts.
“We are particularly excited to present the YANGWANG U9 Xtreme. Its combination of advanced battery technology, four-motor performance and intelligent body control demonstrates the possibilities now being unlocked through electrification.
“We look forward to welcoming guests to the Fakhro Motors display and being part of a memorable weekend at the Royal Golf Club.”
Returning to the Royal Golf Club in Riffa, the Royal Bahrain Concours will once again assemble exceptional collector cars, leading regional car clubs, international guests and automotive and luxury brands for two days dedicated to motoring, design and craftsmanship.
Organised by Thorough Events in collaboration with the Bahrain Tourism & Exhibitions Authority (BTEA), the Royal Bahrain Concours continues to strengthen Bahrain’s position on the international calendar of significant automotive and luxury events.
Tickets for the 2026 Royal Bahrain Concours are now live and available via royalconcours.com. Further details regarding participating vehicles and the wider 2026 programme will be announced in due course.
