In a defining moment for electric vehicle innovation, Xiaomi EV has announced that its SU7 Ultra production model has set a new benchmark at the world-renowned Nürburgring Nordschleife. Clocking an astonishing lap time of 7:04.957 minutes, the SU7 Ultra now holds the title of Fastest Electric Executive Vehicle—a feat achieved on its first-ever attempt at the grueling German circuit.

This record-breaking performance wasn’t just a stroke of luck—it reflects Xiaomi’s uncompromising focus on high-performance engineering. The SU7 Ultra, fitted with the optional track package, showcases the company’s cutting-edge “three core electric technologies”: a state-of-the-art electric motor, a high-performance power battery, and an advanced motor control unit. These systems, combined with chassis torque-vectoring control and aerodynamic optimization, enabled the car to dominate one of the world’s toughest tracks.

Beneath its sleek exterior, the production SU7 Ultra mirrors the capabilities of its prototype, retaining its formidable tri-motor configuration—two V8s and one V6s e-motor. This powerhouse drivetrain delivers a jaw-dropping 1,548 PS, launching the vehicle from 0 to 100 km/h in just 1.98 seconds (with one-foot rollout) and reaching speeds exceeding 350 km/h.

Racing circuits like the Nürburgring serve as crucibles for innovation, testing not just speed but also thermal management, durability, and system reliability. Xiaomi’s record-setting run is the culmination of tireless engineering and rigorous testing—proving that performance, safety, and cutting-edge technology can coexist in a production EV.

Xiaomi EV’s ambitions at the Nürburgring go beyond lap times. The company has cemented a long-term partnership with the legendary track, becoming a premium partner and securing a spot in the Nürburgring Industry Pool, an elite group of automakers granted access to development testing on the circuit. Marking this collaboration, the Grand Prix track now features a newly christened “Xiaomi Curve,” symbolizing the company’s growing influence in the world of high-performance automotive engineering.
