Xiaomi, a global tech giant renowned for its diverse product ecosystem from smartphones to smart home devices, has made an indelible mark on the automotive world. Through its subsidiary, Xiaomi Auto<\/a>, the company has rapidly transitioned from a tech innovator to a formidable force in electric vehicle manufacturing with the debut of the SU7 sedan. However, it’s the high-performance iteration, the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra, that has truly electrified the automotive world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unveiled in July 2024, the SU7 Ultra Prototype, co-developed with battery<\/a> titan CATL, immediately signaled its track-focused aspirations. On October 24, 2024, a prototype version, driven by British race car driver David Pittard and equipped with non-road legal slick tyres<\/a>, achieved an astonishing four-door car lap record on the N\u00fcrburgring Nordschleife: 6:46.874. Following this feat, Xiaomi boldly pledged to return with the production-ready SU7 Ultra to claim the Production EV Lap Record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Xiaomi has now fulfilled its promise. The production-spec SU7 Ultra, equipped with an optional track package available to customers, recorded a staggering lap time of 7 minutes and 4.95 seconds on the 20.8-kilometre Nordschleife circuit. This performance unequivocally positions it ahead of the formidable Porsche Taycan Turbo GT<\/a>, which previously held a record of 7 minutes and 7.55 seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n

Furthermore, the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra<\/a> has effectively unseated the Croatian electric hypercar, the Rimac Nevera, from its top spot on the production EV leaderboard. The Nevera\u2019s official lap time stood at 7 minutes and 5.29 seconds. This feat firmly heralds the arrival of Chinese car makers on the global circuit, especially in the performance EV sphere.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Xiaomi SU7: The Fastest Production Sedan Yet<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The SU7 Ultra’s dominance extends beyond this lap time and even beyond the realm of electric vehicles. Onboard footage released by Xiaomi verifies a GPS-measured top speed of 346 km\/h, establishing it as the fastest production sedan yet, in both EV and ICE territory. Xiaomi even hints at further potential, stating the car can exceed 350km\/h under optimal conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Propelling the SU7 Ultra is a tri-motor electric powertrain<\/a> giving it all-wheel-drive<\/a> and delivering a combined output of a colossal 1,527 hp, enabling a 0 to 100km\/h acceleration run in a blistering 1.98 seconds. Despite its substantial dimensions (5,113mm long) and weight (2,360 kilograms), the SU7 Ultra demonstrates remarkable agility. Launched in China with a base price of 529,900 yuan (AED 271,276), it represents a compelling proposition in the high-performance EV segment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
