Xiaomi just dropped a high-octane mic in the EV world with its SU7 Ultra electric car—a $114,000 speed demon designed to outpace Tesla and Porsche. CEO Lei Jun, often dubbed the 'Steve Jobs of China,' unveiled the luxury model during a marathon livestream, declaring it the fastest mass-produced four-door car globally. Move over, Elon! 🏁
The SU7 Ultra boasts jaw-dropping specs: it accelerates from 0-60 mph in 1.95 seconds (faster than Porsche’s Taycan Turbo) and tops out at 165 mph. While Tesla’s Model S Plaid still edges ahead in driving range (672 km vs. 630 km), Xiaomi’s pricing strategy—matching Tesla’s flagship at 814,900 yuan—signals a bold shift from budget-friendly tech to premium performance. “We’re building a dream car,” Lei said. 💨
Tech upgrades? Think carbon-fiber roofs, racing-grade brakes, and a Nürburgring track record. Pre-orders hit 3,600+ within 10 minutes of launch, with deliveries starting March 2025. Meanwhile, Xiaomi’s EV sales are revving up, hitting 20,000 units in October alone.
Bonus: The livestream also revealed Xiaomi’s new flagship smartphone series starting at $630—because why not disrupt two markets at once? 📱✨
