To be honest, Lei Jun CEO XIAOMI said their team designed a car 15 years ago but the project flopped. In his most recent press interview and 3 months ago
I want to explain more details about this car. First, The car in the video is made by Xiaomi, which is actually the phone manufacture, incooperated with racing engineering company Prodrive. It's a prototype car, which means it's not street-legal. That explains why it has exaggerate aerodynamic parts, slick tyres and doesn't have normal interior. Some may wonder since the car doesnt't fit any race, why Xiaomi made such a race car? The official reason is that the car is made for test and test the limit of the performance and stability of their self-developed triple-motor system, ECU and customized battery, which are the crucial parts for an EV car. Although the propotype car is deeply modified by Prodrive, it still has the same parts metioned before as the street-legal version, which is revealed in Beijing today. The street-legal version was developed in Nordschleife at the same time since June this year, and Xiaomi claimed that it can be pushed in Nordschleife for two laps without overheating, just like Hyundai Ioniq 5N. The street-legal version will be still under test in Nordschleife for a great lap time, which aims at Porsche Taycan Turbo GT and Tesla Model S Plaid. There is still a important reason that can't be neglected, which is marketing. As is known, competition in Chinese domestic EV car market is firece, and Xiaomi, as a newcomer, needs different propaganda to build up its brand image in car market. Unlike Western world, most Chinese car manufactures focus on the comfort, space, effiiciency and intelligence of a car, which means for Xiaomi, it has to choose a different way to stand out. Performance and drivability are good points to create high-end brand image, which are rare in Chinese market, therefore Xiaomi choose this way. The result proves they are right. Xiaomi delivered over 20,000 normal SU7 in October, which equals the sale of Tesla Model 3 in China. It's even the best seller of C-segment saloon in China. The lap time of the propotype is a booster to keep on building up Xiaomi's brand image and get received from those who really love cars and driving in China, which opens up a new market.
Let's consider this a purely Prodrive car (and Prodrive seriously know how to make good motorsport vehicles), Xiaomi just threw money at them to make a good track monster 😀
@@ChristopherWoods It's not accurate. At least Xiaomi provide the powertrain and bodywork, and they send people to learn something to develop the street-legal version
@@LeoZhang-33 I guess we'll see how things turn out. I have seen some stories about brand new SU7s having big problems or even dying completely, in one case 35 km away from the dealership, so quality control will be a big focus.
Thanks to David, what a amazing drive, unfortunately only have one shot to get the record. With better track conditions and get rid of the leaves blocking the sensor to cause losing power, the time can be much better. waiting for next try.
@@Chris-cy3uq Explanation from Xiaomi official personnel: There is a photoelectric sensor for measuring ground speed on the lower lip of the front bumper, which is blocked by the rising dead leaves. The system speed suddenly disappears, the safety mechanism is activated, and the TC torque is reduced. Later, the leaves were blown off and the system was restored.
4:15 There is a big problem here.. There is no power to the wheels. There is a loss of at least 3 seconds. 2:17 There is an unknown problem here, whether it is a fault or driver-related. There is a 2-second loss. There is a total of 5 seconds of simple loss. A time of 6.41 seems very possible. 6:29 Nearly 200 mph full throttle. Impressive.
It seems that the leaves were blocking the sensors on the front of the car in that moment and the system determined that power was lost. After the leaves were blown away the system regained power.
At foxhole and mis hit mis (2:17) the track seems to be damp! The rest of the track seems dry so you drive slicks on these damp parts, which makes it painfully slow.
@@HrttYeah they had some problems, wet track, power loss.. They gotta sort all that out and try again in optimum conditions, but for a first run this is pretty cool
A VW ID R with two electric motors with a total of 680 hp completed the lap in 6.05.336. The Xaomi does not have much to do with the production vehicle, which is why it is listed under prototypes/pre-production models.
On a dry track without the power loss in between, that would be much quicker. It also looked like he overdid it in a few places. Question is though, why show a lap with full Slicks? It looks impressive, but outside of any competition.
Simple: this is a Balls to the walls Throw everything and the Kitchen sink at it car, Like the 919 Tribute was. Its nothing more than a project that allowed their engineers Stretch their legs and go at it. And TBBH, this thing is a Marvel. Im not a eletric car guy, i dislike most, but this thing is pretty Bonkers.
Because this is the halo prototype to push and test their limit. The production one will follow in early 2025, it should be very close to the 7 minutes mark.
Think of it like this: If you know the car can handle going super fast like that, it's proof of the engineers' capabilities and will make you trust in their cars more.
@@prostockgermanyhe means that there are differences between mass produced SU7’s Ultra and this Ultra Prototype versions. But I think it’s only the matter of time 👍
It's not hard when you cheat by using a totally road illegal car that's on slick tires. Nothing about this is comparable to any other car that set records. You can buy a Porsche Taycan that set the record lap today and daily drive it.
@@onur4279 Yeah man, it was so wet he held back so hard in Fuchsröhre and after Kallenhard.. And then at Hohe Acht bro lost power for 10 seconds.. And still 6:48 I mean wow this thing can definitely do 6:35 or something

@@MUCKLEECHDefinitely but I rather have electric noise than hearing a combustion engine with CVT, worst sound ever man I hate it.. Internal combustion simply needs changing rpm otherwise sounds really stupid
The rapid timing of full braking when entering a corner suggests that even the 'prototype' version, stripped of all interior components and designed for time attack, is likely to have a considerable car weight. However, it would not be surprising if the car could have set faster times if not for some wet road surfaces and throttle problems in the middle of the race. We believe that if we only look at it from the perspective of 'a smartphone manufacturer making a car', we may be misjudging the true capabilities of this manufacturer. Xiaomi is more serious about making cars than we thought.
Im pretty sure this car is capable of sub 6:40. Not only due to these technical issues that cost at least 5 seconds but also because this lap is far from ideal. Also, these conditions are horrible. As far as i know this was the 4th lap for this car on this track, thus the setup should be able to be improved. I wouldn't be surprised if the time can be optimized 6:38. This car is crazy fast! BUT ITS NOT THE FASTEST 4 DOOR LMAO
He seems like to have a problem 2 times. One time the car is rattling at 3:54 and then on way to Hohe Acht after Karussel the car don´t react to acceleration and then rattles again. After the rattle it´s working again.
I can't wait to see the lap time for the mass-produced Xiaomi SU7 Ultra! Along with this prototype, Xiaomi also brought the mass-produced SU7 Ultra to Nürburgring at the same time.
@ doubt it. V8 cars cost more than EV’s. They’re slower than EV’s and they cost more to operate/fix/fuel. V8’s have no benefits anymore. Obsolete technology
@3184Patrick V8s are more reliable than EVs. I've owned cars with both powertrains and I prefer the V8. You're clearly not a car guy. Just a tech guy. Manufacturers like Mercedes and Audi are returning to ICEs.
@@KitKitChanIsaac I've been building muscle cars, sports cars and currently hot rods. There is no way you can say you owned both and a v8 ice is more reliable. Not only am i a mechanic and partsman but i work in a fleet shop with EV's and gas and there is no comparison on reliability. EV's require a 1/4 of the repairs of a comparable gas vehicle. But as a actual car guy i prefer EV's because they are so much faster. How can you call yourself a car guy and prefer a slower vehicle? To me thats a poser
@3184Patrick EVs don't have the soul of an ICE. Can you even call yourself a man if you choose a soyboy EV over a V8? EVs have none of the manliness V8s do. Even Andrew Tate would agree. The EV I own broke down after 3 months. Btw.
People think it is 3 years of development. Yes it is amazing. But don’t forget XIAOMI CEO Lei Jun said on his press release they worked on cars 15 years ago,but the projects failed.
Alter Schwede, ist das Ding schnell! 😅 Und die Zeit mit zwei feuchten Streckenabschnitten und einmal Leistung weg ist um so krasser! 😂 Da sind noch locker 10 Sekunden drin.
You are too hard on it. 919 EVO is a modified LMP1 car, and ID R is built for time attack, however SU7 ultra propotype is based on road car. It's unfair to compare su7 with them.
Absolutely marvel at this engineering. Democratising the Porsche Taycan and making EV cars NON BORING with racing feel. Xiaomi did the impossible, even Apple and Dyson tried to make cars but still haven’t yet.
This is a fully gutted race car on full slicks, unlimited aero, no interior and far, far from being steeetlegal. Therefore its not to compare with a normal street car as the Taycan and categorized as the VW ID.R for example (Prototype race)
Great achievement, but we also should not forget that electric Volkswagen ID.R drove Nürburgring for 6m 05s. And it was 5 years ago. One can say that it was a specially designed racing car. Yes, but it was 5 years ago and Xiaomi is not a stock car as well if you look at the interior.
I can't wait for when they push a platform update requiring you to subscribe to the accelerator pedal cloud services to continue driving. Or is that what happened at 4:19?
@@jetyu5879 front collision sensors apparently? Leaves obscuring it triggering the speed loss seems like quite a poorly thought out conservative reaction, because we tend to have quite a lot of leaves around the planet. Either way, not ideal planning for Nords. They should perhaps have considered disabling some of those ancillary systems for the full speed run? I was amused that their stripped-down dashboard GUI apparently didn't have the ability to indicate that sensor warning.
its the 7th fastest for any prototype car, ahead of the modified pagani zonda and barely behind the ep9, WITH wet conditions in the technical and elevation change sections and a sensor fault. even if you hate the company or the country, it's dumb to deny that this is impressive. especially because i'm guessing the original engineers didn't really think about putting the su7 around the Ring. on a better day and with the sensor issues fixed i have no doubt it'll match the 'road legal P1 GTR' lap time (even though that's only in the 'prototype' section because of a technicality).

This lap is not intended to break the road legal car record…Its just xiaomi trying to prove themselves that the machine they made is capable of something. It isnt about breaking other car’s records, just “four door”, not anything other than that.
Das ist eine grandiose Zeit - zweifelsohne! Wir reden über einen Prototypen eines Rennwagens. 2.200kg Anpressdruck, 1600ps, fully-stripped out, weiche Slicks usw. Das Auto wurde von einem echten Rennteam entwickelt und das Wissen und die Technik wurde eingekauft. Nicht xiaomi, sondern der Beijing Automotive Group sollte Respekt gewollt werden. Diese Zeit mit dem Taycan usw. zu vergleichen ergibt Null Sinn. Wenn schon Rennwagen-Prototypen verglichen werden, dann wäre ein 1160ps 919 Evo ca. 1 Minute schneller
I usually like watching videos like this but this video is so annoying. There is no engine sound, no transmission sound, only brake and wind sound. I didn't like it at all. 😶
Interesting class they picked for sure. 4 door class but here with only 2 seats, completely stripped and built for racetrack purposes. The closest competitor i´d see is a Porsche Taycan Turbo GT but even that has more Seats and way more comforts than this. Congrats on them for the record but its a weird class nontheless imo
@@cpjhardware Good point, they did the lap at Laguna Seca without rear seats aswell. But we´re still waiting for a Nordschleife attempt which might still come some time next year, lets see which spec they´ll use then
the story i heard is they rent the track for 2 days and it's just been raining , so this very lap is at the very last 10 mins because they want the track to be as much dry as possible, and because it's an ev car ,the battery only can do 1 lap so...... I am a Chinese myself and actually I am not a fan of xiaomi or any ev car but this is still impressive.
Holy mother of god does no one seem to understand what "PROTOTYPE" means 😂 yes this shares a battery/motor with production but as far as we know that's literally it, everything else has been tuned/modded by Prodrive strictly for track purposes. This is NOT the su7 anyone is buying from China and its absolutely hysterical people think that
one thing to all your hater out there this is just Xiaomi 1st car, and battery tech is improving by lip at bounds as day go by, the size may get smaller and lighter is only matter of time ice will be in the pass. ICE has already reach it limit potential it need electric motor to make them faster, whether u like it or not we are transitioning in to era of EV, there is a reason y VW Porsche and others are struggling this day.

@@nandortoth55 slicks are the more important factor here. Put a GT3 rs on race slicks and it would be under 6:45 I would say. But maybe the su7 can also go faster as the track seemed a bit damp.

Not only am i a mechanic and partsman but i work in a fleet shop with EV's and gas and there is no comparison on reliability. EV's require a 1/4 of the repairs of a comparable gas vehicle. But as a actual car guy i prefer EV's because they are so much faster. How can you call yourself a car guy and prefer a slower vehicle? To me thats a poser
@3184Patrick EVs don't have the soul of an ICE. Can you even call yourself a man if you choose a soyboy EV over a V8? EVs have none of the manliness V8s do. Even Andrew Tate would agree.
The EV I own broke down after 3 months. Btw.
Holy shit what a lap... and if it was dry it would've been sub 6:40 easily...
People think it is 3 years of development. Yes it is amazing. But don’t forget XIAOMI CEO Lei Jun said on his press release they worked on cars 15 years ago,but the projects failed.

Xiaomi the phone company with their first super car & it demolished all the other car manufacturers must be biggest humiliation 😂
Alter Schwede, ist das Ding schnell! 😅 Und die Zeit mit zwei feuchten Streckenabschnitten und einmal Leistung weg ist um so krasser! 😂 Da sind noch locker 10 Sekunden drin.
how much the interal storage capacity of this? does it have NFC?
This a not street legal prototype class. There the competition is Porsche 919 EVO with time of 5:19 or pure electric VW ID R with 6:05.
You are too hard on it. 919 EVO is a modified LMP1 car, and ID R is built for time attack, however SU7 ultra propotype is based on road car. It's unfair to compare su7 with them.
This is ev with super heavy battery pack to carry
The ID.R's technology is not reflected in the VW ID series
and the motor, battery and chassis of this car are the same as the production version.
The closest is Subaru sti nbr, which did a time of 6:57.
u r idtic, lol
David Pittard won the Nurburgring 24H in 2023 (one of the drivers on the Frikadelli team).
Absolutely marvel at this engineering. Democratising the Porsche Taycan and making EV cars NON BORING with racing feel.
Xiaomi did the impossible, even Apple and Dyson tried to make cars but still haven’t yet.
The Taycan is street legal, try again moron, or compare it with the 919 Evo if you wish to embarass yourself even more
This is a fully gutted race car on full slicks, unlimited aero, no interior and far, far from being steeetlegal. Therefore its not to compare with a normal street car as the Taycan and categorized as the VW ID.R for example (Prototype race)
Next time learns the difference between full race car and street legal one
Great achievement, but we also should not forget that electric Volkswagen ID.R drove Nürburgring for 6m 05s. And it was 5 years ago.
One can say that it was a specially designed racing car. Yes, but it was 5 years ago and Xiaomi is not a stock car as well if you look at the interior.
4:16 what happen?
there were leafs has blocked the sensors.

I can't wait for when they push a platform update requiring you to subscribe to the accelerator pedal cloud services to continue driving. Or is that what happened at 4:19?
The team stated that leaves blocking the sensors caused a temporary power interruption.
Commercial pause
US number one
@@jetyu5879 front collision sensors apparently? Leaves obscuring it triggering the speed loss seems like quite a poorly thought out conservative reaction, because we tend to have quite a lot of leaves around the planet.
Either way, not ideal planning for Nords. They should perhaps have considered disabling some of those ancillary systems for the full speed run? I was amused that their stripped-down dashboard GUI apparently didn't have the ability to indicate that sensor warning.
16E？
does it have working brakes this time
In terms of non road legal prototype running on the Nordschleife, this isn't that fast
yeah, not that fast, just the forth.
All the core technologies and components in this car will soon be applied to retail versions of the car.
its the 7th fastest for any prototype car, ahead of the modified pagani zonda and barely behind the ep9, WITH wet conditions in the technical and elevation change sections and a sensor fault. even if you hate the company or the country, it's dumb to deny that this is impressive. especially because i'm guessing the original engineers didn't really think about putting the su7 around the Ring.
on a better day and with the sensor issues fixed i have no doubt it'll match the 'road legal P1 GTR' lap time (even though that's only in the 'prototype' section because of a technicality).
The car and driver are insane
Fastest racecar or street legal car or fastest protoytyp car? Its so funny that nobody understand that this car has nothing to do with a street legal car like the porsche taycan. The record from porsche was with a fully equipt street legal car. This is fully stripped out race car with aero mods on it...
This lap is not intended to break the road legal car record…Its just xiaomi trying to prove themselves that the machine they made is capable of something. It isnt about breaking other car’s records, just “four door”, not anything other than that.
Everyone knows, it’s just you, thinking that everyone is stupid, don’t think that you’re the smartest here lol
nah, your upper half has no perceptx abilities, same 1520 hp, nothing to do? lmao

Das ist eine grandiose Zeit - zweifelsohne!
Wir reden über einen Prototypen eines Rennwagens. 2.200kg Anpressdruck, 1600ps, fully-stripped out, weiche Slicks usw.
Das Auto wurde von einem echten Rennteam entwickelt und das Wissen und die Technik wurde eingekauft.
Nicht xiaomi, sondern der Beijing Automotive Group sollte Respekt gewollt werden.
Diese Zeit mit dem Taycan usw. zu vergleichen ergibt Null Sinn. Wenn schon Rennwagen-Prototypen verglichen werden, dann wäre ein 1160ps 919 Evo ca. 1 Minute schneller

Great effort Xiaomi/pro drive and David pittard!
I usually like watching videos like this but this video is so annoying. There is no engine sound, no transmission sound, only brake and wind sound. I didn't like it at all. 😶
EV is strange enough
lmao, engine sound, just you are annoying, u must have stockholm syndrom
being fked by the legacy sound, and get smoked enough u think it's doing u good, legacy dinos
Does the miserable squealing noise when braking come from ceramic brake disks?
just you are miserable
Interesting class they picked for sure. 4 door class but here with only 2 seats, completely stripped and built for racetrack purposes. The closest competitor i´d see is a Porsche Taycan Turbo GT but even that has more Seats and way more comforts than this. Congrats on them for the record but its a weird class nontheless imo
If you order the Weissach packet there are no rear seats
@@cpjhardware Good point, they did the lap at Laguna Seca without rear seats aswell. But we´re still waiting for a Nordschleife attempt which might still come some time next year, lets see which spec they´ll use then
@@thesantacruz9367it's just like Jaguar Project 8 sedan record holder at some point as well, it will be more common as time goes, even Alfa did same
4:15 VERY IMPORTANT moment
Something made the power cut down to 0 for some reason which made the lap WAY slower
😂 Try more than 2 laps
the story i heard is they rent the track for 2 days and it's just been raining , so this very lap is at the very last 10 mins because they want the track to be as much dry as possible, and because it's an ev car ,the battery only can do 1 lap so...... I am a Chinese myself and actually I am not a fan of xiaomi or any ev car but this is still impressive.
would still be slower than yo momo
u r idtic, cepuxuax, do, outx etc any nmw s perfx
What processor does this car have and how much RAM ?
Holy mother of god does no one seem to understand what "PROTOTYPE" means 😂 yes this shares a battery/motor with production but as far as we know that's literally it, everything else has been tuned/modded by Prodrive strictly for track purposes. This is NOT the su7 anyone is buying from China and its absolutely hysterical people think that
Well that's how advertising and marketing work man.
one thing to all your hater out there this is just Xiaomi 1st car, and battery tech is improving by lip at bounds as day go by, the size may get smaller and lighter is only matter of time ice will be in the pass. ICE has already reach it limit potential it need electric motor to make them faster, whether u like it or not we are transitioning in to era of EV, there is a reason y VW Porsche and others are struggling this day.
Really impressive time, considering it was not even damp, but close to wet in some parts.
Also that stuttering wont help lol.
Crazy fast 😮
This is faster than the GT3 RS
This nice. I will wait for redmi Su7 Ultra pro max triplet fold version.
Yep, You can get it when you hit a solid wall in the track.
1548hp and slicks? Not really fast then.
How much hp does the Nevera have and what was its time?
@@braven7426on road legal tyres in a road legal car.
@braven7426 you are comparing a production car with a GT4 style thing. Making this run in the cold wasnt accidental for sure. It helped the tyres not destroy themselfs.
@@TheLTcousins Production car? They produced 150 and could only sell 50 in 3 years.

That's a world record lap for a electric production car, congratulations to Xiaomi🎉
That’s not a production car at all, but a bespoke prototype.
So amazing!
Hopefully they changed the brakes on this one after the multiple full failures..
Failures where?
Those were road brakes on a road car...

@@johannes7059 wow, 1500hp idk it, impressive
@@nandortoth55 slicks are the more important factor here. Put a GT3 rs on race slicks and it would be under 6:45 I would say. But maybe the su7 can also go faster as the track seemed a bit damp.
super impressive despite the hiccups.
it's safe because of the roll-cage. Stock editions are deathtraps.

Porsche GT3 RS with less than half the horsepower was just as fast. No Chinese communist EVs for me. 🤮
This is 3 year old technology. In 10 years nobody will buy ICE.
third the horsepower!
No one is asking you to buy it nor you could afford it, stick to your Nissan Altima lil bro😂
@ lol I have 2 Porsches in my garage. Nope this one off race car couldn’t even come close to fastest cars on the ring and given its hp it should have been in low 6 min time. It’s a piece of communist party crap.

Nobody can beat Xiaomi
I learned that from their Redmi 3
price will be around 120k dollars will u guys choose this？
Amazing. From 1st class phones to 1st class Cars. Volkswagen And the rest take note.. Days are numbered. Apparently Xiaomi can build a car in 76 seconds purely robot assembly
