Xiaomi EV has made a bold statement in the world of high-performance electric vehicles, as its Xiaomi SU7 Ultra production model set a new lap record at the legendary Nürburgring Nordschleife. Clocking an impressive 7 minutes and 4.957 seconds, the SU7 Ultra now holds the title of the fastest electric executive vehicle around the notoriously demanding circuit.
What makes this achievement even more remarkable is that the SU7 Ultra accomplished this feat on its very first attempt, equipped with the optional track package. This success highlights Xiaomi’s dedication to pushing the boundaries of electric vehicle performance while maintaining practical, production-ready engineering.
At the heart of the SU7 Ultra’s record-breaking run is Xiaomi’s innovative “three core electric technologies,” which include the electric motor, power battery, and motor control unit. These systems work in perfect harmony with advanced chassis torque-vectoring control and an aerodynamic design optimized for speed and stability on the track.
The production model stays true to the prototype’s proven engineering by featuring the same tri-motor setup: two V8 electric motors paired with a V6 motor. This powerful combination delivers a jaw-dropping 1,548 PS of maximum output. The result? Lightning-fast acceleration, propelling the vehicle from 0 to 100 km/h in a staggering 1.98 seconds (with one-foot rollout), and a top speed exceeding 350 km/h.
The racetrack serves as the ultimate proving ground for technology and a cradle of innovation. The relentless high-speed, high-temperature conditions of the Nürburgring push electric vehicle powertrains to their absolute limits. Behind Xiaomi EV’s record-setting lap time is a steadfast dedication to advancing technology while continually improving vehicle quality, reliability, and safety.
Notably, Xiaomi EV has recently forged a deep partnership with the Nürburgring, becoming a premium partner of the iconic racetrack. In a historic milestone, a new section of the Grand Prix circuit has been named the “Xiaomi Curve,” cementing the brand’s presence at the legendary venue. Additionally, Xiaomi EV has joined the Nürburgring’s exclusive Industry Pool—a collective of leading automakers involved in test and development drives. This collaboration reflects Xiaomi EV’s long-term commitment to innovation, leveraging the Nürburgring as a dynamic testing ground to accelerate the development of next-generation electric vehicle technologies that will set new global standards in performance.
This milestone lap time not only redefines what an electric executive vehicle can achieve but also cements Xiaomi EV’s position as a serious contender in the high-performance EV segment. With this record, the SU7 Ultra exemplifies Xiaomi’s relentless pursuit of innovation, engineering excellence, and exhilarating driving experiences. As electric vehicles continue to evolve, Xiaomi’s triumph at Nürburgring signals a new era where cutting-edge technology meets thrilling performance — all within a production vehicle ready for the road.
