Xiaomi unveils 1,548 hp SU7 Ultra set to shatter records

Xiaomi held its largest event of the year, where it half a dozen new devices, but arguably the most exciting product to be unveiled by CEO Lei Jun is the SU7 Ultra prototype. This track-focused performance EV, is an enhanced version of the Xiaomi SU7 Max, featuring the company's new V8s electric motors.

The SU7 Ultra sports an even more aggressive design accentuated by a striking lightning-yellow finish. A low front spoiler scoops all the air and channels it through the hood, extended side skirts smooth out the airflow, and the oversized rear wing is responsible for producing extra downforce.

The Ultra introduces Xiaomi's proprietary HyperEngine V8s electric motor, the company's most powerful yet. With a maximum speed of 27,200 rpm, 578 horsepower, and a peak torque of 635 Nm, this motor alone is a serious piece of kit. But a single motor wouldn't be enough for the Ultra to deliver on its bold claims.

The SU7 Ultra Prototype is equipped with three electric motors – two V8S and one V6S – generating a combined maximum output of 1,548 hp. That's more power than Lucid Air Sapphire or Zeekr 001 FR. In fact, the Ultra packs nearly 52% more power than the Tesla Model S Plaid.

Paint job aside that’s the perfect blend of a Lotus and modern Mclaren.

Very good looking car.
 
1,526 HP (1,138 kW) Xiaomi SU7 Ultra Targets Nürburgring EV Lap Record

High-performance electric saloons are all the rage, with the Porsche Taycan and Tesla Model S Plaid leading the charge. But a new contender has emerged in the form of the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra.

Earlier this year, Chinese tech giant Xiaomi unveiled the Tesla Model 3 rival, the SU7 saloon, which secured over 75,000 sales within just 28 days. Now, a new prototype version, the Ultra, looks set to challenge the fastest EVs on the market.

Xiaomi claims the SU7 Ultra can sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in a staggering 1.97 seconds and reach a top speed exceeding 350 km/h, compared to the standard car’s 210 km/h limit.

To achieve this blistering straight-line speed, Xiaomi has equipped the SU7 Ultra with a tri-motor electric motor system. The two larger motors are named ‘V8s’ and the smaller one ‘V6’, producing a combined output of 1,526 hp (1,138 kW). While the battery powering the SU7 Ultra remains unconfirmed, it’s likely to be the same 101kWh unit found in the SU7 Max.

The Ultra boasts an upgraded braking system to match its extra power. Six-piston AP Racing calipers and large ventilated discs provide exceptional stopping power. Xiaomi claims that when combined with the regenerative braking force of the electric motors (0.6G), the Ultra can achieve up to 2.36G of deceleration.

 
Xiaomi’s new 1,527bhp SU7 Ultra wants the Taycan Turbo GT’s ‘Ring record

Powered by a trio of electric motors, the new aero kit even increases downforce to over 2,100kg

This is the SU7 ‘Ultra’: the hardcore, track-focused version of Xiaomi’s all-electric saloon. And no, it’s not going up against the Samsung S22 - it’s instead targeting the Porsche Taycan Turbo GT’s Nürburgring record for four-door EVs.

Powered by a triumvirate of electric motors that amount to 1,527bhp and more torque than Captain America after a few, the (claimed) acceleration times are… impressive. 0-62 in 1.97s, while it’ll take an extra four to get to 124. Wait another nine and you’ll see 186 on the speedo before it plateaus at 217. Yep, impressive.

Further mechanical details remain scarce for now, but we do know it’ll wear a set of Pirelli P Zero tyres ahead of the AP Racing brakes to try and neutralise some of the plentiful power reserves.

It’s also gone through a strong carbon fibre-based diet to help lose 500kg over the standard S7 (now sitting at circa 1,900). The extra aero bits even mean, yep, you guessed it, more downforce: 2,145kg peak, to be precise.

 
Road-legal 1,548 HP Xiaomi SU7 Ultra is coming in 2025

Well, that didn't take long. After unveiling its wildest EV concept yet, Xiaomi confirmed the release of a road-going SU7 Ultra in the first half of 2025. Building upon the insane success of their initial SU7 model, this high-performance variant promises to deliver a truly unforgettable driving experience both on the track and on the open road.

The SU7 Ultra Concept made its debut last week, showcasing impressive specifications. According to Lei Jun, Xiaomi CEO, most of the components are expected to carry over into the production model. The Ultra will retain the same chassis structure, triple motor configuration, and battery pack, promising a performance that aligns with the prototype's capabilities.

The SU7 Ultra Concept boasts a powerful trio of in-house developed electric motors — two rear-mounted V8s spinning at an impressive 27,200 rpm and a single V6s motor driving the front wheels. This configuration generates a combined output of 1,548 horsepower, propelling the vehicle from 0 to 100 km/h in an astounding 1.97 seconds and from standstill to 200 km/h in a blink-and-you-miss-it 5.98 seconds. In a concept configuration, the SU7 Ultra can reach a top speed exceeding 350 km/h.

The Ultra's exceptional performance extends beyond raw power. It features CATL's Qilin II battery, renowned for its rapid discharge capabilities, and supporting a 5.2C charging multiplier. The Ultra's braking system, with its forged six-piston calipers all around, provides exceptional stopping power, which is essential for a vehicle with this level of performance. Xiaomi claims that the re-calibrated regenerative braking of the electric motors, combined with the mechanical brakes, can deliver an intestine-rearranging 2.36g of stopping power.

I was wondering why Tesla was amping up their new Roadster. It is because they have competition...

Upcoming Xiaomi MX11 SUV stars in a spy video

Xiaomi's first EV, the SU7, has been a resounding success. Its second act, codenamed MX11, will be an SUV - or rather, a low-lying coupe-like SUV to be exact. This has been spotted in some spy shots from China a while ago, and now it's back - this time in a video.

So let's take a look at the next Xiaomi EV, doing its (testing) thing on a motorway somewhere in China, dressed in a lot of camo.

The MX11's sporty shapes definitely give us Ferrari Purosangue vibes, but maybe that's just us. The front end might in fact be quite reminiscent of Xiaomi's own SU7, by what we can gather is hiding underneath all that camo. The roofline is sloped at the back, and it generally seems to have a very dynamic look, which the SU7 also pulls off.


 
WATCH: 1,330kW Xiaomi SU7 Ultra Prototype was built to break records

Do you know Xiaomi? The company produces consumer electronics, most noticeable in SA through its mobile phones. Well, now it also produces cars and the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra Prototype was built to show that the company means business.

“Our goal is to become one of the top five car manufacturers in the world… and we need courage to compete head to head in the world’s top car companies,” said Xiaomi founder, chairman, and CEO Lei Jun.

Xiaomi launched its first-ever BEV, the SU7, earlier this year. The model racked up 75,000 orders in just a month. It is a pretty rapid machine that can sprint from rest to 100km/h in under three seconds.

The Xiaomi SU7 Ultra Prototype is a tri-motor version of the SU7. The Ultra is a prototype, for now. At a recent press conference Lei Jun announced that the high-performance derivative will go into production in the first half of 2025. We are pretty sure that the Ultra will not be as wild as the prototype seen here.


 
Xiaomi EV on track to ship 100,000 electric cars by early November

Xiaomi's electric vehicle division, Xiaomi EV, has just announced the completion of its factory capacity ramp-up. The company previously set an ambitious target of 100,000 EV deliveries this year, but with the factory upgrade completed, it expects to meet this target by early November – nearly two months ahead of schedule.

This news comes after the successful launch of Xiaomi's first EV model, the SU7, which has already seen over 30,000 deliveries in just three months. July is shaping up to be another record month for the company, with projected deliveries of the SU7 expected to surpass 10,000 units. The car's enjoying enourmous popularity and we saw why in our short experience with it.

In the meantime the company is working hard to grow its sales and service network across China, targeting 220 sales stores, 135 service stores, and 53 delivery centers in 59 cities by December. This aggressive expansion is part of Xiaomi's strategy to make its EVs accessible to a broader customer base and solidify its presence in the rapidly growing Chinese EV market.

 
Xiaomi wants to sell 120,000 SU7 units by the end of the year

To say that Xiaomi's first foray in the EV space, the SU7, has been wildly successful, would be a gigantic understatement. The car is selling in droves, exceeding expectations, and forcing the company to ramp up production multiple times over the levels it initially anticipated.

All of this is to say that Xiaomi has already mentioned that it wants to reach 100,000 units produced by early November. And now, it has locked in this goal. That was previously set as the goal for the whole year, but now that's changed, upped to 120,000.

That's how many SU7 units Xiaomi now wants to make by the end of December, and at the rate things are going, it most likely will be able to reach that insanely ambitious goal. Remember, this is a company that hasn't manufactured any car before this. And yet it's set to go from zero to 120,000 in less than a year - the SU7 and SU7 Max began shipping in April, and the SU7 Pro in May.
