In an announcement made directly by Xiaomi founder, chairman, and CEO Lei Jun, via today's Weibo and X platforms, the SU7 Ultra managed to carve an impressive round time of 7 minutes 04.957 seconds.

"I believe this record will be broken again in the near future," Lei Jun wrote in his post, showing a high competitive spirit from Xiaomi. The image he shared showed that this record was scored on April 1.

Launching CarNewschina, this achievement is not the first for the SU7 series in N\"ourburgring. In October 2024, the SU7 Ultra prototype had already been shocked with a record time of 6 minutes 46.874 seconds, making it the fastest four-door car on the track.

The Xiaomi SU7 Ultra, launched at the end of February 2025, is one of the most powerful EV models in the Chinese market with a maximum power output of 1,548 Ps. This electric car is positioned as a serious competitor to the Tesla Model 3, which Xiaomi launched on March 28, 2024.

The SU7 Ultra has attracted tremendous interest from consumers. On March 2, Lei Jun revealed that definite orders for the SU7 Ultra had reached 19,000 units, with more than 10,000 units under lockdown, exceeding the annual target of 10,000 orders ahead of schedule.

In recent months, Xiaomi SU7 Ultra has been in the public spotlight due to issues such as lack of ventilation in the front hood and debate over power restrictions. However, these discussions have reportedly eased in the past month.

Following the success of the SU7 series, Xiaomi is also preparing to launch its first electric SUV, YU7, which was announced on May 22 and is scheduled to launch officially in July. The price details for YU7 have not been announced.

With this brilliant achievement in N\"uarburgring, Xiaomi further strengthens its position as a key player in the global electric automotive market, indicating that innovation and speed do not only belong to traditional car manufacturers.
