The Xiaomi SU7 Ultra is considerably bigger than the SU7 Max, flaunting more aerodynamic panels and a huge spoiler. The Xiaomi hypercar weighs in at 1,900 kg. That isn’t a feather-light figure. Even so, it is lighter than competitors like the Tesla Model S Plaid and Porsche Taycan Turbo GT which it aims to topple. Xiaomi is also gearing up to take the SU7 Ultra to the Nürburgring. The Chinese mammoth aims for the SU7 Ultra to be the fastest 4-door car around the Green Hell. The current EV record holder is the Volkswagen ID.R. As for 4-door electric cars, the Porsche Taycan is the current crown-bearer. Beating the legendary German carmaker wouldn’t be an easy task for Xiaomi.
