Xiaomi SU7 Ultra: Production Version to Feature More Liveries, Including Prototype LightningLivery

[City, State] – Xiaomi’s highly anticipatedSU7 Ultra, a performance-focused electric sedan, is set to offer a variety of livery options for its production version, including the iconic lightning livery from theprototype model. This was revealed during the latest episode of Xiaomi’s Answering User Questions livestream.

The livestream addressed several questions regarding the production versionof the SU7 Ultra, including the absence of the prototype’s front hood vents and the availability of livery options.

Why the Production Version Doesn’t Feature the Prototype’s Front Hood Vents

The Xiaomi SU7 UltraPrototype (PT version) was designed specifically for track performance and lacked road legality. Its design prioritized extreme track performance, featuring two贯穿风道 (贯穿风道 translates to through-flow air ducts) on the front trunk area tooptimize cooling, weight reduction, and downforce. This design resulted in a maximum downforce of 2145kg.

The production version of the SU7 Ultra, however, is designed for both street and track driving. While it boasts a maximum downforce of 285kg, achieving the level ofa two-to-three million yuan sports car, its design prioritizes a balance between track performance and everyday driving needs.

The production model’s thermal management system is more complex, requiring a balance between track cooling and everyday usage. The engineers opted for a high-performance fan-based cooling system that meets extremetrack cooling demands while also ensuring optimal low-temperature energy consumption, air conditioning performance, and supercharging cooling for everyday driving. This system also prioritizes cabin quietness and zoned storage.

Livery Options for the Production Version

Xiaomi recognizes the importance of liveries in racing culture. The SU7 Ultra, being aroad-legal four-door race car, will offer exclusive liveries. The standard livery features classic racing stripes in a subtle silver, creating a sleek and dynamic look.

Future liveries will be available, catering to user preferences for personalization. Notably, Lei Jun, CEO of Xiaomi, confirmed that the prototype’slightning livery will be offered on the production model. Details regarding installation methods and pricing will be announced by Xiaomi.
