Xiaomi SU7 Ultra 1:32.616 Zhejiang Circuit Record Analysis
Q: What’s your evaluation of the 1:32.616 lap time? What are the challenges of Zhejiang Circuit?
A: The Xiaomi SU7 Ultra set an outstanding 1:32.616 lap time at Zhejiang International Circuit, breaking the four-door production car record by a full 3 seconds. This result currently ranks 8th overall, comparable to top-tier supercars equipped with similar semi-slick tires.
Zhejiang International Circuit spans 3.2km with 16 turns (7 right, 9 left) and features a significant 19m elevation change. Its complex corners have earned it the nickname “China’s Nürburgring.” Conquering this track demands not only powerful performance but exceptional chassis dynamics and braking capabilities.
Before Turn 1, the SU7 Ultra achieved 231km/h terminal speed with its 1548PS powertrain, setting a new speed record for that section. Through Turns 2-6, its tri-motor torque vectoring control precisely distributed torque to rear wheels for agile and stable cornering. In the downhill Turns 10-12, the Bilstein® EVO R coilovers maintained exceptional body stability over curbs and elevation changes.
Notably, in its highest-performance Qualifying Mode, professional drivers achieved three consecutive hot laps without performance degradation (consistently around 1:33), demonstrating the endurance capabilities of its powertrain, track-spec carbon-ceramic brakes, and custom Pirelli® P ZERO™ TROFEO RS semi-slick tires under sustained track conditions.
