If you haven’t already heard, this year’s CaDA flagship 1:8 set is going to be the Yangwang U9, the exotic car from BYD Motors’ premium auto brand. U9 is, of course, the car that can literally jump if you want it to. It also made a name for its “dance moves”. But before that comes along, But before that big boy arrives, CaDA is warming things up with not one, but two smaller-scale builds that are just as flashy, minus the suspension party tricks.
Say hello to the CaDA x Yangwang U9 Series, now in 1:24 and 1:20 scales. The 1:24 is your classic display piece—small, stylish, and all about the details: swan-neck wing, rear diffuser, that signature U9 light strip… It’s all there, tiny and aggressive.
But it’s the 1:20 version where things get spicy. Not only is it motorized and remote-controlled, but it’s also programmable. That’s right—you can make it do your bidding using Scratch-based coding. Tilt your phone to steer it, draw a path for it to follow, or just zip it around like a caffeinated puppy. CaDA even throws in a physical 2.4 GHz controller if you’re feeling old school.
Whether you’re into EVs, model building, or teaching your kid to code via a cyberpunk race car, these mini-U9s are revving at the line. The 1:20 CaDA Yangwang U9 building set (C51099) and the 1:24 CaDA Yangwang U9 building set (C55045) are available from CaDA online on Taobao.com for 89 yuan and 169 yuan, before discount, respectively. That’s just 12.4 USD and 24 USD, based on the current going rate.
