Xiaomi SU7 Ultra: Electrifying Nürburgring record for the fastest sedan in the world

More power, less time

Powered by three electric motors with a combined output of 1548 hp, the SU7 Ultra accelerates from 1,98 to 0 km/h in just 100 seconds. With a top speed of 350 km/h, Xiaomi catapults the vehicle to a level previously reserved for the Porsche Taycan Turbo GT, overtaking it by a clear 20 seconds on the legendary race track.

The vehicle is built for the racetrack, but remains suitable for everyday use. This is made possible by a smart combination of aerodynamic design, powerful drive and high-tech battery. The huge front splitter, a rear wing made of carbon fiber and an active diffuser guarantee stability and maximum downforce.

Interior: Racing meets high-tech

In the cockpit, Xiaomi relies on a mixture of luxury and sportiness. Racing seats with active side cushions and a flat steering wheel covered in Alcantara ensure a pure racing feeling. The "Boost" button on the steering wheel adds a pinch of extra adrenaline, while the sound system with three specially developed "Electric Sport Sound" profiles delivers the right soundtrack for every ride.

record drive on the Nordschleife

Racing driver David Pittard got the most out of the SU7 Ultra on the Nordschleife and set a new record for four-door vehicles with a lap time of 6:46,874 minutes.

However, the overall record still belongs to the Porsche 919 Hybrid Evo, which completed the course in 2018 with an impressive time of 5:19,55 minutes. Nevertheless, Xiaomi is sending a clear signal to the established car manufacturers with this performance.
