Xiaomi, known for its smartphones, made its debut in the automotive market with the SU7, an electric sedan that already includes a high-performance version, the SU7 Ultra.
After a prototype impressed in 2023 by completing a lap at Nürburgring in 6min46s, the final production version returned to the track this year and clocked 7min04s, still an outstanding time that surpasses models like the Porsche Taycan Turbo GT and the electric hypercar Rimac Nevera.
Although not identical to the prototype, the SU7 Ultra used on the track included an optional track package available to consumers, which keeps it classified as a production car. With three electric motors totaling 1,527 hp, the sedan reaches 100 km/h in just 1.98 seconds. During testing, the model hit 346 km/h, becoming the fastest production sedan in the world, overtaking the Maserati Ghibli 334 Ultima.
The SU7 Ultra is larger and heavier than a Porsche Taycan, measuring 5.11 meters in length and weighing 2,360 kg. Even so, it impresses with its performance and competitive price: around $74,000 in China. Xiaomi states that the car can reach up to 350 km/h under ideal conditions and reinforces its commitment to expanding its presence in the automotive sector with innovation and high performance.
