The folks at Xiaomi are back at it, and this time it's not a phone. The SU7 Ultra is their high-performance electric vehicle proposal, with numbers that will make your hair stand on end. We're talking about a sedan that accelerates and runs like a hypercar, but with four doors and a trunk where, theoretically, you can put your groceries.
Carbon winding and thermal management from another planet ⚡
The key to this monster lies in its electric motors, which use carbon winding instead of traditional copper. This allows them to withstand much higher temperatures and revolutions without the motor melting in the process. To give you an idea, we're talking about such extreme thermal management that the cooling system looks like it came out of a NASA lab. The result is a total power output exceeding 1,500 hp, capable of launching the car from 0 to 100 km/h in under two seconds.
The joke of having a hypercar and not being able to use it during rush hour 🚦
All very nice, yes. But then you get to the traffic light on Gran Vía with 1,500 hp under your right foot, and all you can do is look at the odometer while crawling along at a snail's pace. At least, when a gap opens up, you'll be able to overtake the bus with the same joy a rocket has overtaking a bicycle. And all this, while dreaming of being able to afford the electricity bill when charging it at home.
