BYD's monster U8 SUV could come to Europe, complete with 1,184bhp and an ability to float

Yangwang U8.

This year’s Geneva Motor Show is going to be a comparatively quiet affair, with most of biggest automakers in the world boycotting the format following its recent move to Qatar. But Chinese EV giant BYD will be there, complete with the equally gargantuan Yangwang U8.
