FASTEST EV IN THE WORLD — AND IT’S A CHINA'S XIAOMI?

Xiaomi's SU7 Ultra has made waves in the high-performance electric vehicle (EV) market by claiming the title of the fastest production electric vehicle at the Nürburgring. It completed the challenging circuit in just 7 minutes and 4.95 seconds, surpassing the Porsche Taycan and the previous record holder, the Rimac Nevera hypercar, by 0.34 seconds.

What truly stands out is its impressive speed and its competitive price. At approximately 814,900 yuan (112,380 USD), the SU7 Ultra costs significantly less than its Nürburgring competitors, often around half the price. Let's explore what makes this remarkable vehicle tick.

Xiaomi's High-Stakes Gamble

Xiaomi's reputation as a tech giant in the automotive industry has been both an advantage and a challenge. While it dominates the electronics market, this image has occasionally hindered its foray into the automotive industry. Enter the SU7 Ultra—a bold attempt to redefine Xiaomi's public perception.

This unprecedented combination of raw power and affordability in a high-performance electric fastback has captured global attention. The vehicle's Porsche-like design excited auto enthusiasts, while record-breaking sales in China have solidified Xiaomi's position in the international automotive arena.

The specs of the SU7 Ultra are truly jaw-dropping. The vehicle features a tri-motor setup that delivers an astonishing 1,526 horsepower. It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in just 1.98 seconds and reaches 200 km/h (124 mph) in a mere 5.86 seconds. For a mass-market vehicle, these figures are extraordinary, placing it firmly in the outlier category.

1.16 million USD Price Tag: Market Disruptor

Given its performance, this price point offers exceptional value in the high-performance electric vehicle segment.

However, the SU7 Ultra has not been without its issues. There have been reports of seat deformation during high-speed driving, and some features have been described as purely cosmetic. Despite these challenges, Xiaomi is actively promoting the SU7 Ultra as the centerpiece of its brand transformation.

Xiaomi plans to expand its EV lineup globally, including the SU7 Ultra, within the next 2 to 3 years. With electric vehicles forming a crucial part of Xiaomi Korea's business strategy, the likelihood of the SU7 Ultra appearing on Korean roads seems promising. The industry is closely watching to see whether Xiaomi's bold entry can disrupt the high-performance electric vehicle market.
