We must admit that the first thing that comes to our mind when we read this news is not a coincidence and, as you know, in a few hours the new Xiaomi SU7 Ultra will be introduced as the most radical version of Xiaomi SU7. It’s been on sale for months. And honestly, there’s no better promotion for this vehicle than the fact that its prototype just scored points The best time in the history of the Nürburgring circuit for a four-door car.

Lei Jun, CEO and founder of Xiaomi, also announced this through his official profile on X and confirmed that the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra prototype has been registered. 6 minutes 46 seconds and 874 thousandths of a time It became the fastest four-door car to complete the entire lap of the green hell by completing the fastest lap on the world’s most prestigious track.

Xiaomi writes a new page in automotive history

If everything we’ve told you had been told to us a year ago, most of us would have thought it would be impossible, but the truth is that Xiaomi has entered the automotive industry like an elephant in a china shop. And we can’t exactly say this record has been straightforward since then. It has been brewing since last October 9 but due to rain it could not be done properly until 28 October.

To do this, Xiaomi used David Pittard, a professional pilot of British origin. Winner of the Nürburgring 24 Hours in 2023In other words, it cannot be said that he knows the circuit like the back of his hand. The record was not confirmed until 18.50 yesterday, but it came just in time to make the best possible promotion for the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra, which will be introduced today.

As you know, this vehicle will be the street version of this record-breaking prototype, and although full specifications have not been confirmed yet, we did have the opportunity to see some of its design, along with a truly striking rear spoiler. carbon ceramic brakes and gear suspension to be installed Bilstein EVO T1 will be offered to users looking for maximum performance.

So be it, Xiaomi goes from record to record This would have been unthinkable just a few months ago, even more so considering that we are talking about an industry in which I have no experience. We’ll see what they have in store for us by 2025, but we wouldn’t be surprised if they leave us speechless again when we see the progress they’ve made.
