The Xiaomi SU7 Ultra is a performance electric car that lays claim to the ‘Fastest Four-door Production Car in the World’ title. It even allegedly broke the Nürburgring record for four-door cars. Now, the SU7 Ultra is certified street-legal for the Chinese market.

The sedan with supercar numbers is electrically powered by a triple motor system that combines what Xiaomi calls two V8s motors and a V6s. Running at 27,200rpm, the two V8s (that's not a typo, it's what the press release says) are claimed to be “the highest most powerful production main drive motor.”
Those three motors are housed in an intimidatingly long and low chassis, built to glide through the air. A large intake grille that sits on a front splitter makes up the wind-sucking face of the car. The hood and roofline flow seemlessly into the rear where a carbon fiber wing is planted. Looking down from the wing, there is an active rear diffuser that shifts between drag and downforce. The aerodynamic genius of this car generates 285kg of downforce.
Soon to be zipping through the streets of China, the SU7 Ultra measures in at 5,115mm long, 1,970mm wide, and 1,465mm tall, with a wheelbase of 3,000mm.
Going at its fastest, the SU7 pushes out an insane but road legal, 1548hp. It then tops out at 350kph with the ability to hit 0-100kph in just 1.98 seconds. Blink and you'll miss it. The EV also boasts a maximum driving range of 630km.
Drivers and passengers (it is a four door after all) will be going 100kph in a cockpit finished in yellow leather. The Chinese car does borrow materials from Italy to dress the rest of the cabin in Alcantara microfiber fabric. The console and front seats are reinforced with carbon fiber, looking like an ode to the wing mounted on the rear.
The Xiaomi SU7 Ultra is available for pre-order in China for CN¥814,900 (P6.7 million). Can you imagine this beast zooming through the Philippines?
