Xiaomi SU7 Ultra SHOCKS the World: 0-60 in 1.98s

The Chinese EV market is on fire, and Xiaomi is making waves with its latest masterpiece – the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra. This high-performance electric sedan boasts an incredible 1,548 horsepower, a top speed of 350 km/h, and a jaw-dropping 0-100 km/h time of just 1.98 seconds! But the biggest shocker? Its price. Instead of the expected $114,000, Xiaomi is offering this beast for only $73,000, making it one of the best performance bargains in the EV world.Performance & PowertrainUnder the hood, the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra features a tri-motor setup: two powerful V8S electric motors on the rear axle producing 578 hp each and a V6S motor on the front axle delivering 392 hp. This results in a combined 1,548 hp and 1,770 Nm of torque in peak mode, making it one of the fastest electric sedans ever built. With cutting-edge aerodynamics, an adaptive rear diffuser, and a massive carbon-fiber spoiler, the SU7 Ultra generates 285 kg of downforce, ensuring stability at high speeds.Advanced Braking & SuspensionBringing all that power to a stop requires top-tier brakes, and Xiaomi delivers with Akebono carbon-ceramic brakes featuring 430mm front and 410mm rear discs. Paired with Endless brake pads, the braking system can withstand temperatures over 1,300°C and allows the car to stop from 100 km/h in just 38 meters. The car sits on Pirelli P-Zero tires, ensuring maximum grip, with an optional track package featuring Pirelli P-Zero Trofeo RS semi-slicks and Bilstein EVO T1 dampers for superior handling.Stunning Design & AerodynamicsWhile the SU7 Ultra maintains the sleek design of the standard model, it gets an aggressive aerodynamic upgrade. A larger splitter, U-shaped air curtains, and an expanded grille improve cooling efficiency by 10%. At the rear, the fixed carbon-fiber wing and an adaptive diffuser enhance high-speed stability. One of the standout features? The Xiaomi emblem on the hood, crafted from carbon fiber and coated in 24-karat gold.Cutting-Edge Battery & ChargingPowering the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra is a CATL QILIN II battery with a 93.7 kWh capacity, providing a range of 630 km (under the Chinese test cycle). Thanks to a blazing-fast 5.2C charging rate, the battery can go from 10% to 80% in just 11 minutes! The advanced cooling system, featuring upgraded pumps, compressors, and radiators, ensures consistent performance even during intense track sessions.Interior & TechInside, the SU7 Ultra exudes performance and luxury. Exclusive sport seats with yellow accents offer excellent lateral support, while Alcantara microfiber covers the steering wheel, dashboard, and seats. The flat-top and flat-bottom steering wheel, complete with a red Boost button and a yellow 12 o’clock marker, enhances control during spirited driving. The car also includes a state-of-the-art AI vision system, LiDAR for advanced driver assistance, and a high-end 25-speaker sound system for an immersive experience.Pricing & Market ImpactThe Xiaomi SU7 Ultra’s launch has sent shockwaves through the EV world. Within the first 10 minutes of sales, 6,900 orders were placed. Initially priced at $114,000, Xiaomi stunned the industry by slashing the price to $72,600. However, the base model does not include carbon fiber elements, which are only free for buyers who order before March 31st.Future CompetitionHow does it stack up against competitors? The Zeekr 001 FR with 1,265 hp costs $105,000, while the Porsche Taycan Turbo GT starts at a staggering $274,000. Xiaomi’s aggressive pricing strategy puts the SU7 Ultra in a league of its own, delivering hypercar-like performance for a fraction of the cost.Nürburgring & BeyondAlthough Xiaomi has tested a prototype at the Nürburgring, an official production model lap time has yet to be recorded. However, expectations are high, and Xiaomi is already planning a Nürburgring Limited Edition with a two-seat interior and a price tag of around $112,000.Could the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra redefine the high-performance EV market?
