Is This Hardcore Xiaomi SU7 Plotting To Take The Porsche Taycan’s Nurburgring Record?

More powerful prototype version of Xiaomi SU7 electric sedan seen testing on the Nurburgring. Hardcore variant is expected to have over 1,000 hp, targeting the Porsche Taycan Turbo GT and Tesla Model S Plaid. Taycan Turbo GT recently lapped the Ring in 7:07.55, becoming fastest production EV after Rimac Nevera. It looks like Xiomi’s SU7 isn’t content with merely ripping off the Porsche Taycan’s design.

The Turbo GT produces up to 1,092 hp for brief bursts and an example equipped with the optional Weissach lightweight package lapped the Nurburgring in 7:07.55, making it the second fastest production EV after the Rimac Nevera. The Weissach kit includes a rear-seat delete as well as a fixed rear spoiler instead of the pop-up kind fitted to lesser Taycans, and though the smoked rear glass means we can’t see if Xiaomi’s Nurburgring prototype retains its rear bench, we can see a fixed rear wing.
