Xiaomi has again released its stopwatch, this time to prove that its US7 Ultra is the fastest production car around the Shanghai International Circuit (SIC). Electricity has ultra-lapped the track in 2: 09.94 by fixing a new recording for exhibition hall cars of any type of power supply.

Set a new record to SIC meant to break an old one, in this case, the time established by the Porsche Taycan Turbo GT. The flagship Taycan, which is delivered with a rear seat removal when you option the Weissach package, rounded up the course of 3.39 miles (5.45 km) in 2: 11.28 in 2024, although the track is slightly humid.

The video of the disc shows the SU7 hitting an incredible 201 MPH (323 km / h) on the right back, while images of the Taycan taken earlier reveal that the German car only reached 180 MPH (291 km / h) Despite the braking later for the following following right -handed right -handed.

You can see the solo clip in high quality below, but after that, take a look at the video side by side by comparing that Porsche and SU7 flows further in the post. The quality is not so good, but it is interesting to look because you can see where the ultra moves from the Porsche and also how it seems to lose part of this advantage through the corners. We would like to see an appropriate telemetry on the two races.

The ultra SU7 has three electric motors, one at the front and a pair behind, and is 1,527 hp (1,139 kW / 1,548 PS). It’s 435 hp (324 kW / 440 PS) more than the Taycan Turbo GT rival, which is why the Chinese car is so faster on the right pieces.

Porsche cites zero at 62 MPH (100 km / h) in 2.1 seconds and a top speed of 190 MPH (306 km / h) for the GT equipped with Weissach, but the ultra beats the two statistics according to 1.98 Second of Xiaomi and 217 MPH (350 km / h) complaint.

This is not the first time that US7 Ultra beats the Taycan Turbo GT. Last year, an Xiaomi launched the Nurburgring Nordschleife in 6: 46.87, by sculpting 20 seconds of the best time in the Porsche. But on this occasion, Xiaomi was not quite fair, having turned to the ring in a prototype car without interior, while Porsche had taken his time in a complete production model whose only mods were things like A cage to keep the safety pilot safety in case of major.

This time, to ensure that there was no asterisks applied to its record result, the Chinese car manufacturer arrived with a real production car production, including tires, and recorded the time in Using the same equipment used when the F1 circus is in town.

The ultra will be sold in China later this month at a price of 814,900 CNY, which is equivalent to $ 112,000. For comparison, this would not even take you to a basic Taycan 4 in the United States, where the Taycan Turbo GT begins at $ 230,000 drugs, or double the price of the Xiaomi. In China, the Turbo GT is even more expensive, from 1,998,000 CNY ($ 275,500), with or without the Weissach package, which is a free option.
