The electric car world is undergoing a power shift, and China’s tech giant Xiaomi is making a bold entrance with the SU7 Ultra hypercar. This electrifying machine aims to wrestle the crown away from the reigning Bugatti Chiron with its mind-bending acceleration and revolutionary electric powertrain.
Xiaomi throws down the gauntlet with a sub-2-second 0-60 mph time for the SU7 Ultra, leaving rivals in the dust. The secret weapon behind this blistering performance? Xiaomi’s ingenious HyperEngine V8s system. But don’t let the nomenclature mislead you these aren’t your typical gasoline-powered V8s. Instead, the HyperEngine V8s are a pair of electric motors churning out an astonishing 1,548 horsepower.
This electric muscle easily outmuscles the Bugatti Chiron’s monstrous 8.0-liter quad-turbocharged W16 engine, proving that electric power can truly redefine performance.
While the headline-grabbing horsepower figures of the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra are certainly impressive, the car’s true performance ambitions are revealed through a series of strategic design tweaks.
The most striking addition is undoubtedly the colossal carbon fiber rear wing, a marvel of engineering that generates a downforce of 973 pounds, effectively pressing the car onto the track during high-speed maneuvers. The front fascia undergoes a similar transformation, incorporating two massive air vents and a redesigned front splitter to channel airflow meticulously.
Dimensionally, the SU7 Ultra carves out a larger footprint than the standard SU7, boasting a length of 207.0 inches and a width of 81.3 inches. However, the wheelbase remains identical at 118.1 inches.
These adjustments, combined with the car’s potent powertrain, showcase Xiaomi’s clear intention to challenge the Nurburgring record currently held by the Porsche Taycan Turbo GT. The SU7 Ultra isn’t just a powerful electric SUV; it’s a meticulously crafted machine built to dominate the racetrack.
