The vehicle was seen leaving the Italian brand facilities in Maranello and underwent evidence in the private track of Fioran, as part of a benchmarking process, a common practice among car manufacturers for the technical and dynamic analysis of competitors.
According to Chinese sources, the approach between Ferrari and Xiaomi could go beyond the simple evaluation of SU7. Representatives of the Italian manufacturer would have visited Xiaomi headquarters last year to discuss a possible association in the development of high performance electric motors. The initiative indicates 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 horsepower, acceleration of 0 to 100 km/h in less than 2 seconds and a maximum speed greater than 320 km/h, all this for a more accessible 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, with Chinese manufacturers who stop following trends for now influence even iconic marks of the West.
