THE 1500 HORSEPOWER SUPERCAR BUILT BY A PHONE COMPANY??

EV Channels Review

The Xiaomi SU7 Ultra is presented as an outrageous, 1500+ horsepower electric supercar, aiming to challenge established performance sedans. While the reviewer acknowledges the car's headline-grabbing stats and Nürburgring claims, the focus quickly shifts to its real-world driving dynamics. Surprisingly, the SU7 Ultra is praised for its exceptional handling, with the reviewer stating it 'beats both' the Tesla Model 3 Performance and Polestar, offering a connected and responsive driving experience that rivals traditional performance icons like BMW M cars. The car features extensive carbon fiber elements and an active aerodynamic kit, though their impact on the substantial 2205 kg weight is questioned, leaning towards cosmetic enhancement. The interior, while luxurious with Alcantara and advanced tech, is criticized for not feeling significantly more 'raw' or 'prototypey' than the standard SU7, a missed opportunity for a performance-focused variant. Despite this, the reviewer is impressed by the car's ability to emulate the feel of a powerful ICE sports car, delivering immense torque and a compelling driving sensation. The reviewer ultimately finds the car to be a significant achievement for Chinese EVs and a strong contender in the performance EV space, though they personally would not buy it, preferring something smaller.
