During Brera Design Week in Milan, I had the privilege of being invited to the European debut of DENZA, the premium mobility brand backed by BYD, the world's largest new-energy vehicle manufacturer.

As the sun cast its golden hue over Milan's cobbled streets and modern design pavilions, DENZA unveiled something truly exceptional: the Z9 GT, a new icon in the world of luxury mobility.

Hosted in a beautifully curated space known as DENZA House, the event seamlessly blended automotive innovation with artistic expression.
The Z9 GT, available in both pure-electric (EV) and Super DM hybrid versions, is built on DENZA’s proprietary e3 Intelligent Platform—a remarkable engineering achievement that supports crab-walk functionality, rear-wheel dual-motor steering, and advanced torque distribution, off ering the turning radius of a compact car in a sleek, 5.2-meter grand tourer.



But beyond the specs, what struck me most was DENZA’s dedication to form and feeling. Under the creative direction of Wolfgang Egger, the Z9 GT draws inspiration from silk—its exterior lines fl owing with grace, every curve intentional, every detail refi ned.
The interior is no less captivating: Devialet sound systems, silk-matte wood fi nishes, and ventilated massage seating transform the driving experience into a multisensory journey.
It is, in every sense, a sanctuary on wheels.



From an urban design perspective, the Z9 GT aligns with Brussels' growing appreciation for sustainable luxury, off ering both zero-emission capability and a hybrid option for long-range fl exibility. With its poised silhouette and intuitive technology, it’s easy to imagine this vehicle gracing the avenues of Uccle or the tree-lined boulevards near Place Brugmann. My sincere thanks to the DENZA and BYD teams, and to the communication support from GBPRC, for off ering this opportunity to witness the brand's entry into Europe.
The DENZA Z9 GT is more than a car—it’s a powerful vision of how innovation, design, and sustainability can harmoniously coexist in the luxury world.
