BYD Executive Vice President Li Ke stated :

“The DENZA Chopard tailor-made Z9GT is the perfect example of how the finest technology becomes natural, almost invisible – but more than that, it shows how a refined house of luxury can take the finest details and raise them to another level altogether. We’re so proud of this collaboration and delighted that it can play a key role in the amfAR Gala Cannes and its fund-raising efforts.”

Like the standard Z9GT priced between €101,000 and €115,000 ($110,000 – $134,500) in the European market, the Z9GT Chopard Edition is powered by three electric motors, which puts out more than 1,150 horsepower and allows 0-60 mph in less than three seconds.

Caroline Scheufele, Co-President and Artistic Director of Chopard, also commented on the partnership, saying : “Through this special collaboration, we have transformed the Denza Z9GT into a piece of jewelry that rides the wind, with every design embodying our dedication to craftsmanship and our relentless pursuit of beauty.”

The money generated from the sale of the Denza Z9GT Chopard Edition is part of the $20 million raised by amfAR (The Foundation for AIDS Research) on Thursday night during the 32nd amfAR charity gala, with all proceeds set to support AIDS research programs.
