Xiaomi SU7 Ultra Prototype Sets New Nurburgring Lap Record; Eclipses Previous Time By 24 Seconds

After having set a lap record of “The Green Hell” in October 2024, Xiaomi’s high-performance SU7 Ultra Prototype has set a new lap record at the Nürburgring Nordschleife. In its latest attempt, the prototype completed the 20.8-kilometre circuit in 6 minutes 22.091 seconds, a full 24 seconds quicker than its previous best time set in October 2024.

The achievement not only marks a personal best for Xiaomi but also earns the SU7 Ultra Prototype third place overall on the Nürburgring all-time leaderboard. Earlier in the month, the production-spec SU7 Ultra had completed the same circuit in 7:04.957 minutes, making it the fastest production electric vehicle to lap the Nürburgring. The prototype’s faster run now sets a new record among electric prototypes, dethroning even the Lotus Evija X, which set a time of 6:24.047 minutes in April 2024.

Powering the SU7 Ultra is a tri-motor all-wheel-drive system developed entirely in-house by Xiaomi. It combines two V8s-series motors (each producing 570 bhp and 635 Nm) with a V6s-series motor delivering 387 bhp, resulting in a total system output of 1,526 bhp. According to the company, the SU7 Ultra can go from 0 to 100 kmph in 1.97 seconds, reach 200 kmph in 5.96 seconds, and hit 300 kmph in 15.07 seconds, with a top speed of over 350 kmph.
