Xiaomi announced that deliveries of the SU7 (see specs) surpassed 10,000 units in June. The increase follows Xiaomi’s announcement of dual-shift production in May. The tech giant expects to deliver the same number of vehicles, if not more, in July. Delivery numbers have been steadily increasing from 7,058 units in April to 8,630 units in May. Despite earlier production bottlenecks, the performance is in line with Xiaomi’s goal of delivering 100,000 to 120,000 units by 2024.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, spy shots of the high-performance version of the Xiaomi SU7, in camouflage, have been spotted testing on the Nürburgring Nordschleife. The images revealed a host of performance upgrades over the standard SU7, with expected improvements to the chassis and braking system. Based on comments from Hu Zhengnan (Senior Consultant of Xiaomi Auto), 7 minutes and 30 seconds is the current base performance of the Xiaomi SU7 V8’s Nürburgring, with further tweaks targeting sub-seven minutes.
As previously announced by Xiaomi, the V8 super engine is expected to reach a maximum speed of 27,200 rpm, potentially producing nearly 1,000 horsepower. The long-awaited Xiaomi SU7 V8s is scheduled for an official release in 2025. We can consider it as the “SU7 Ultra”. We are eagerly waiting to see what lap time the “SU7 Ultra” will set on the Nürburgring.
The same engine could be used in the new SU7 MX11 SUV, as previously spotted during road tests.
