Breaking new ground, Xiaomi, a renowned smartphone manufacturer, has unveiled the prototype for a hypercar variant of the recently released SU7 electric vehicle (EV). The company's founder announced this significant move in an address just a few days ago.
At Xiaomi's annual speech, Founder Lei Jun introduced the SU7 Ultra, a vehicle that redefines automotive technology.

The XU7 Ultra is composed entirely of carbon fiber and weighs approximately 4,188 pounds. According to the company, the SU7 Ultra can be fully charged in under 12 minutes using the CATL Qilin fast-charging battery. The company is also striving to achieve an exceptional lap time with the SU7 at the Nürburgring Nordschleife circuit in October, as it disclosed on X.
Xiaomi still needs to disclose pricing information for the SU7 Ultra. However, the Standard, Pro, and Max are priced at $29,700, $33,832, and $41,261, among other EV variants.

Since its official launch in March, Xiaomi has been dedicated to meeting the demand for the SU7 EV. According to Teslarati, the company delivered more than 10,000 units and announced in May its intention to increase its SU7 delivery target by approximately 20%.
