The smart device manufacturer Xiaomi is not satisfied with its existing SU7 car product.
In order to provide a more intense competition to high-performance EVs in the market, the manufacturer is now unveiling the full carbon prototype model Xiaomi SU7 Ultra.
At the same time, Xiaomi also announced the debut of an electric power unit called the HyperEngine V8s.
It is not a typical V8 engine, instead, the HyperEngine V8s is an electric motor capable of producing a maximum power of 578 PS and a torque of 635 Nm, with a speed reaching 27,200 rpm!
In the SU7 Ultra model, Xiaomi combines two electric motors, the HyperEngine V8s, and a V6s electric motor, with a total output reaching 1,548 PS that powers all wheels!
With Pirelli P Zero tires, the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in just 1.97 seconds, 0-200 km/h in 5.97 seconds, and reach 300 km/h in just 15 seconds.
The maximum speed is about 350 km/h.
The Qilin 2.0 battery pack, sourced from CATL, is specifically designed for racing, capable of discharging a peak power of up to 1,808 PS.
Although the battery pack has a SoC of about 20 percent, it is still capable of discharging power as high as 1,088 PS!
Unlike the standard SU7, the SU7 Ultra features a full carbon fiber body construction, complete with a body kit (front splitter and diffuser, rear wing, massive diffuser) said to generate a downforce of 2,145 kg at a speed of 350 km/h.
Yet, the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra is still a high-performance sedan with a weight close to 2 tons, or more precisely 1,900 kg.
The brake system consists of six-piston AP Racing calipers on the front and rear axles, as well as racing brake pads capable of withstanding temperatures above 800 degrees Celsius.
Under full braking conditions, the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra is capable of generating over 2.36G of deceleration, with a stopping distance of just 25 meters from 100-0 km/h.
Xiaomi plans to set a new record in the four-door electric sedan category at the Nurburgring Circuit in October.
Currently, the fastest record is held by the Porsche Taycan Turbo GT with a time of 7:07.55 minutes.
AS you may be aware, several smartphone companies are beginning to join the hotly contested electric vehicle race.
One of them is Xiaomi, which has just introduced its first EV called the SU7. It is dubbed as a “full-size high-performance eco-technology sedan.”
Speaking of size, the SU7 measures in at 4,997 mm in length, 1,963 mm in width, 1,440 mm in height, and has a wheelbase of 3,000 mm. This makes it slightly larger than its two closest competitors, the Porsche Taycan and Tesla Model S.
The SU7 is built on Xiaomi’s Modena platform, offering a 400-volt and 800-volt architecture, with three options for electric motors, confusingly called the HyperEngine V6, V6s, and V8s.
For the exterior design of the SU7, Xiaomi has hired the services of former BMW design chief Chris Bangle as the design consultant. Thanks to his magic touch, the EV has a drag coefficient of just 0.195, making it one of the most aerodynamic cars on the market.
As for the interior, the Chinese smartphone giant has utilised its technological expertise to equip the SU7 with the latest gizmos from its armoury.
This includes a 16.1-inch touchscreen and a smart autonomous driving system comprising of one LiDAR, 11 HD cameras, three radars and 12 ultrasonic radars.
The SU7 will be offered in two variants: base and Max. The base variant is powered by the HyperEngine V6, which delivers 299 PS and 400 Nm.
This allows it to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.28 seconds and achieve a maximum speed of 210 km/h. This variant comes with a 73.6 kWh battery offering a driving range of up to 668 km.
Meanwhile, the SU7 Max features the HyperEngine V8s with a pair of electric motors generating 673 PS and 838 Nm. It only takes 2.78 seconds to reach 100 km/h and can accelerate to 265 km/h.
With a 101 kWh battery, it can be driven up to 800 km on a full charge. Since this variant utilizes an 800-volt architecture, it can regain a range of 220 km in just five minutes or 390 km in 10 minutes.
The Chinese smart device manufacturer, Xiaomi, is expected to launch its first electric car model, the SU7, in the near future. According to information from the CNEVPost website, the coupe sedan is said to have a range of up to 800 km.
The Xiaomi SU7 is available with two battery pack sizes, namely 73.6 kWh (BYD) with two driving range options, spanning 628 km and 668 km, and a 101 kWh capacity (CATL) offering a range of 750 km and 800 km.
In terms of dimensions, the Xiaomi SU7 is a mid-size sedan model with the following measurements: 4,997 mm in length, 1,963 mm in width, 1,440 mm in height, and a wheelbase of 3,000 mm.
In the Chinese market, the size of the SU7 is much larger compared to the Tesla Model 3 and Nio ET5 sedans.
It is understood that there will be three main variants offered to consumers, namely the SU7, SU7 Pro, and SU7 Max.
In terms of dimensions, the Xiaomi SU7 is a mid-size sedan model with the following measurements. The basic variant, SU7, will be equipped with a lithium-ion phosphate battery pack supplied by BYD, and it will feature a single electric motor.
Meanwhile, the other two variants (SU7 Pro & Max) will have ternary lithium-ion batteries from CATL, with both variants set to receive dual electric motor configurations.
In the same report, Xiaomi is set to launch two additional models in the coming year, following the launch of the SU7, which is better known by its internal code name Modenat.
The second model (internally coded as Lemang) is also an electric battery vehicle (BEV) similar to Modenat, while the third model (coded as Kunlun) is a hybrid vehicle.
