Introduced by CEO Lei Jun in July, the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra Prototype is the company’s most advanced electric vehicle. The car features a three-motor system, with two V8s motors and one V6s motor, delivering a combined output of 1,138 kW (1,548 PS). The production version is expected to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 1.97 seconds and reach a top speed of 350 km/h. While the prototype featured a full-carbon body, the production model will exclude this due to high costs, according to Lei.

One of the critical features of the SU7 Ultra is its battery system. The car uses Xiaomi’s CTB (Cell-to-Body) battery, which is integrated directly into the vehicle’s structure for increased rigidity and interior space. The battery has a capacity of 150 kWh, with a maximum output of 1,330 kW. At a 20% charge, it can still output over 800 kW, providing reliable performance. Additionally, the battery has a dual-surface cooling system, increasing cooling efficiency by 60%, which is crucial for high-speed driving.

Xiaomi recently attempted to test the SU7 Ultra Prototype at the Nürburgring, a track known for demanding conditions. However, the event faced setbacks due to rain, preventing the team from completing a lap. Lei Jun expressed disappointment but noted that this was just the start of the company’s efforts to compete in high-performance motorsports.

The production version of the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra is expected to launch in early 2025. Its combination of power, advanced battery technology, and track-ready design positions it as a competitive offering in the high-performance electric vehicle market.
