The vehicle was seen leaving the installations of the Italian brand in Maranello and was tested on the private Fiorano track, as part of a benchmarking process – a common practice among automotive manufacturers for the technical and dynamic analysis of competitors.
According to Chinese sources, the rapprochement between Ferrari and Xiaomi could go beyond the simple evaluation of the SU7. Representatives of the Italian manufacturer would have visited Xiaomi’s headquarters last year to discuss a possible partnership in the development of high performance electric motors. This initiative testifies to Ferrari’s interest in understanding and perhaps incorporating advanced solutions created by the Chinese brand.
Presented in 2024, the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra impresses with 1,548 hp, an acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in less than 2 seconds and a maximum speed exceeding 320 km/h – all at a more affordable price than rivals such as the Tesla Model S Plaid and the Porsche Taycan Turbo GT.
The rapid adoption and the global impact of the model indicate a change in the axis of automotive innovation, Chinese manufacturers are no longer content to follow trends, but now even influencing emblematic Western brands.
