Would you trade a luxurious Porsche for a high-speed car from a mobile phone maker? That’s the question sparking debate after Xiaomi’s SU7 Ultra shattered the lap record at the Shanghai International Circuit.
Xiaomi claims that its SU7 Ultra completed a lap in 2:09.944 minutes, overtaking the Porsche Taycan Turbo GT’s previous record for production cars. The numbers are astonishing—1,548 horsepower, 0 to 100 km/h in just 1.98 seconds, and a top speed of 350 km/h.
But what’s even more shocking? The price! While the Porsche Taycan Turbo GT is a symbol of luxury at 2 lakh euros, Xiaomi’s SU7 Ultra is a relative bargain at just 70,000 euros.
With this incredible feat, Xiaomi positions itself as a direct competitor to Tesla Model S Plaid and Porsche Taycan Turbo S. But does a mobile phone company really have what it takes to dominate the European car market?
Xiaomi is no stranger to innovation, but stepping into the ultra-competitive world of high-performance cars is a bold move. With its cutting-edge technology, aggressive pricing, and record-breaking speed, Xiaomi’s SU7 Ultra could challenge established auto giants.
