Overall, the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra has a top speed of over 350 km/h, according to Xiaomi. To handle these figures, Xiaomi says its EV can generate a maximum downforce of 2,145 kg. Interestingly, the production-spec variant of the EV will have the same engine configuration, chassis structure, battery pack and other elements as the prototype that was on display.

The battery has a capacity of 150 kWh and delivers a maximum power of 1,330 kW. The company claims it can still produce as much as 800 kW even with only 20 percent of the juice left.
