Mere days after Xiaomi Automobile debuted a new tri-motor prototype version of its flagship SU7 EV<\/a>, its CEO confirmed it will transition into a production version called the SU7 Ultra that maintains nearly all the same components. Before then, however, the 1,548hp BEV will chase some world records at a world-famous track.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As a renowned smartphone developer, Xiaomi\u2019s infant automotive arm (founded in September 2021)<\/a> continues to make its presence known in the industry. After faster-than-expected development<\/a>, Xiaomi launched its first-ever BEV model, the SU7, in late 2023 to much acclaim.<\/p>\n

As planned, the smartphone specialist capitalized off its customer base of 20 million phone users<\/a> in China, garnering over 50,000 orders in the first 27 minutes it went on sale, helping propel its market value by a whopping $4 billion<\/a>. Originally planning to crank out 60,000 examples of the SU7 this year, Xiaomi chose to bolster production to keep up with demand.<\/p>\n

Based on its quick start, it\u2019s hard to tell that the tech company is new to building cars. In April, we reported that the automaker had rolled 10,000 SU7 models off its assembly lines in just 32 days<\/a>. The SU7 initially launched in three variants: Standard, Pro, and Max \u2013 starting at prices of RMB 215,900 ($29,675), RMB 245,900 ($33,800), and RMB 299,900 ($41,225), respectively.<\/p>\n

However, last week, Xiaomi unveiled a new tri-motor prototype<\/a> called the SU7 Ultra. It can go 0-100 km\/h (0-62 mph) in a scorching 1.97 seconds and has a top speed of 350 km\/h (217 mph). As such, the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra was designed to challenge existing records as the \u201cworld\u2019s fastest four-door vehicle.\u201d<\/p>\n

During a recent live event, Xiaomi\u2019s CEO revealed that the SU7 Ultra prototype will evolve into a very similar production version next year, and to continue to build hype leading up to that milestone, it\u2019s current iteration is going to show its stuff at the world-famous N\u00fcrburgring.<\/p>\n
