“Our goal is to become one of the top five car manufacturers in the world… and we need the courage to compete head to head in the world’s top car companies,” said Xiaomi founder, chairman, and CEO Lei Jun.
Xiaomi launched its first-ever BEV, the SU7, earlier this year. The model racked up 75,000 orders in just a month. It is a pretty rapid machine that can sprint from rest to 100 km/h in under three seconds.
The Xiaomi SU7 Ultra Prototype is a tri-motor version of the SU7. The Ultra is a prototype, for now. At a recent press conference, Lei Jun announced that the high-performance derivative will go into production in the first half of 2025.

The Xiaomi SU7 Ultra Prototype packs a serious punch as the company plans to take a crack at the EV car lap record at the Nurburgring. Its three motors have a combined 1,330kW of power.
As a result, it can blast from rest to 100 km/h in 1,97 seconds and from 0-200 in 5,96. Its top speed is quoted as 350km/h.
