The new hypercar that seeks the record at the Nurburgring

The launch of the SU7 it was just the first step of Xiaomi in the automotive world.

Less than a year after the launch of the electric sedan, the Asian company presents the Ultraa concept that prefigures the very powerful production version that will hit the Nurburgring track in the near future to set a new record among EVs worldwide. A show car with over 1,500 hp that wants to beat the competition represented by the Porsche Taycan.

Space performance

The SU7’s powertrain has more than double the horsepower of the currently most powerful Xiaomi. In fact, the three electric motors (the two rear ones are called “V8” and the front one “V6”) deliver a total 1.548 CVwith a claimed 0-100 km/h sprint of 1.97 seconds and 0-200 km/h covered in 5.96 seconds.

The full speed and of 350 km/hwhile the (physical) braking can stop the car at up to 2.36 G, allowing it to go from 100 km/h to 0 in just 25 minutes, despite its weight of 1,900 kg.

The bodywork is mainly composed of panels in carbon fiber and the entire aerodynamic package (including the large rear wing) is capable of generating up to 2,145 kg of downforce at high speeds.

Porsche Taycan in the crosshairs

Xiaomi has not declared the battery capacity, limiting itself to saying that it is a rechargeable battery. CATL Qilin IIcapable of charging from 0 to 80% in 12 minutes thanks to its 897 Volt architecture.

Xiaomi SU7 Ultra Prototype

Furthermore, according to the brand, the SU7 Ultra can generate almost 1,100 hp even at 20% battery charge, which would make this hypercar suitable for even rather long track sessions (provided the software is able to manage the powertrain temperature well).

The first attempt at the Nurburgring is scheduled for October, with Xiaomi aiming to beat the Porsche Taycan’s time of 7:07. The brand has no plans to launch a production model at this time, but a record could further boost the SU7’s popularity, prompting Xiaomi to change its plans.
