7:04.957—The New Benchmark for Luxury Electric Performance
In the brutal, winding corners of Nürburgring Nordschleife — a racetrack dubbed “The Green Hell” for good reason — only the bold survive. And Xiaomi, the tech giant turned electric vehicle disruptor, didn’t just survive. It dominated.
This week, the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra made headlines across the automotive world after scorching the 20.8-kilometer circuit in an eye-watering 7 minutes and 4.957 seconds. That’s not just fast — it’s record-setting in the realm of luxury EVs. And the kicker? This was its first attempt.
From Smartphones to Supersonic Street Machines
It’s easy to forget that Xiaomi started out as a smartphone manufacturer. But with the SU7 Ultra, they’ve redefined their future — and perhaps that of the entire EV industry.
What’s under the hood? Three motors — two V8s and a V6s — push out a combined 1,548 PS, catapulting this beast from 0 to 100 km/h in just 1.98 seconds (thanks to one-foot rollout) and on to a blistering top speed of 350+ km/h. This isn’t your average commuter EV. This is a missile with mirrors.
Add to that a torque-vectoring chassis control system and a wind-cutting aerodynamic design, and what you get is pure, unfiltered track aggression — tuned to perfection.
Nürburgring: The Ultimate Proving Ground
There’s a reason car manufacturers obsess over the Nürburgring. It’s not just for bragging rights. The track’s punishing combination of elevation changes, high-speed straights, and relentless corners puts any vehicle to the ultimate test. For an EV, it’s where heat, battery efficiency, and software meet hellish resistance.
Xiaomi EV’s performance wasn’t just impressive — it was a declaration. The SU7 Ultra handled the Nordschleife like a predator in its element, proving that Xiaomi isn’t here to experiment. They’re here to lead.
