Xiaomi teaser claims SU7 Ultra is a dream car for speed demons

Xiaomi is set to unveil its most capable EV yet: the SU7 Ultra. If the "civilian" SU7 is anything to go by, the Ultra will change the status quo.

Xiaomi founder Lei Jun has declared the SU7 Ultra his "Dreamcar," and it's easy to see why. This is a machine designed for those who crave performance. While full details are still under wraps, Xiaomi has been steadily teasing the SU7 Ultra's impressive specs.

The production version will boast a carbon fiber rear wing, hinting at the car's track-ready capabilities. We expect a triple-motor setup, likely the same Xiaomi "V8s" motors found in the prototype, which deliver a staggering 1,548 horsepower. This means a 0 to 62 mph time of just 1.97 seconds, putting the SU7 Ultra in the league of the fastest hypercars out there.

Xiaomi EV promises the Ultra will deliver a complete driving experience, combining performance with cutting-edge technology and luxurious comfort. While the exact features remain a secret, we should expect the SU7 Ultra to be loaded with advanced driver-assistance systems, a premium interior, and the latest in-car entertainment technology.

The SU7 Ultra is based on Xiaomi's first EV model, the SU7 sedan, which launched earlier this year with a starting price of RMB 215,900 (approximately $30,270). The SU7 Ultra, however, will sit at the top of the lineup, and while official pricing hasn't been announced, Lei Jun has indicated that the SU7 Ultra will be "slightly more expensive" than the standard SU7 models. Goldman Sachs analysts predict an average selling price of around RMB 800,000 (approximately $112,000) for the SU7 Ultra, with sales estimated to reach 4,000 units in 2025.

The company has already achieved considerable success with its first model, the SU7, with deliveries exceeding 10,000 units for four consecutive months. Xiaomi aims to produce and deliver over 20,000 vehicles in October alone - it'll be interesting to see the official numbers.

Scheduled for an official unveiling on October 29, the SU7 Ultra promises a lot, but honestly - the SU7 has already proven that Xiaomi knows what it's doing. Sure, the Ultra isn't as cheap as the other versions, but considering the performance at hand it looks like a bargain. Will it hold a candle to Rimac Nevera? Maybe not, but it'll make Chinese customers think twice about buying any Italian supercar.
