"BYD executive Li Yunfei announced on Weibo that Brazilian racing driver and Forbes-listed businessman Leo Sanchez will become the only owner of the Yangwang U9 Xtreme in Brazil."
"BYD reportedly received more than 20 purchase requests from public figures in Brazil. Still, the company selected Sanchez due to his background in motorsport and long-standing interest in the Yangwang brand."

And then this Thai video is reported that Mr. Pratarnwong “Pok” Phornprapha, CEO or Rêver Automotive (the authorized distributor of BYD passenger cars in Thailand) may be owner of a Yangwang U9 Xtreme (U9X) too.
And then this Thai video is reported that Mr. Pratarnwong “Pok” Phornprapha, CEO or Rêver Automotive (the authorized distributor of BYD passenger cars in Thailand) may be owner of a Yangwang U9 Xtreme (U9X) too.
The "BYD Thailand" official facebook page confirmed that Pratarnwong RECEIVED the car. One of only 30 units worldwide, and the only one in Thailand. So it is safe now to say Pratarnwong is a U9X owner. One of only 30 persons worldwide. Then Pratarnwong and Leo Sanchez are two of 30 persons worldwide.
The cover picture of video wrote (U9X) "คันแรกนอกจีน?" means "First (U9X) car outside China?" H0ngcom's guess the answer is "no, it is not". The news of Sanchez (12 October 2025) is released 5 months before the news of Pratarnwong (25 March 2026). So I guess Sanchez received the car 5 months before Pratarnwong too.) --h0ngcom
