Carscoops [published photographs](https://www.carscoops.com/2287193/xiaomi-su7-nurburging-scoop/) of the pair at the German circuit on October 15, 2026.\n\n## What Xiaomi Changed on the SU7 Ultra\n\nThe front of the car carries an overhauled bumper with a large new splitter and aero skirts on either side, plus new louvers above the front wheels and large side skirts. The photographs show carbon ceramic discs glowing red, which Carscoops describes as possible brake changes. At the rear, Xiaomi has fitted a twin-plane wing with swan-neck mounts, sized close to the wing on a Porsche 911 GT3 RS, and is testing an all-new diffuser that appears to be carbon fiber.\n\nCarscoops reports that the wing looks to have the components needed for an active Drag Reduction System, which would open a slat to cut drag and raise top speed. The added downforce will likely require suspension modifications, and Xiaomi may upgrade power. The company has previously shown a quad-motor powertrain with 2,054 hp but has yet to implement it in a production model. The road-going SU7 Ultra uses a tri-motor setup producing 1,548 horsepower and held the production-car lap record at the Nürburgring for an executive EV until the Porsche Taycan Turbo GT Manthey took it earlier this year.\n\n## Xiaomi Auto's Battery and LiDAR Partnerships\n\nAccording to akta.pro [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data), [Xiaomi Auto](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/0007inp/xiaomi-auto) signed a strategic LiDAR supply partnership with Hesai Technology in May 2026 for L3 autonomous driving hardware. For the SKYNOMAD N90 EREV SUV, Sunwoda supplies 60% of batteries and CALB supplies 40%, both under June 2026 partnerships. The German auto parts platform Autohelden will begin direct imports of Xiaomi EVs to Germany and Europe, starting with models from Xiaomi, Zeekr, Jetour and Avatr, and aims to sell approximately 50,000 such vehicles in its first full operational year.\n\n## Xiaomi's Recent Launches and Deliveries\n\nXiaomi's Vision Gran Turismo concept arrived in Gran Turismo 7 with the October Spec IV update, the first Chinese-brand VGT, and the update added the series' first EV-based driving lessons featuring the SU7 Ultra and Vision GT, Pandaily reported in October 2026. Xiaomi Auto unveiled configuration details for its SkyNomad series in September 2026, including a living room mode with front seats facing rearward, with the N70, N90 and N90 Max models offering varying face-to-face space and cargo capacity, Gasgoo reported. Xiaomi Auto delivered over 40,000 vehicles in September 2026, announced on October 1, Gasgoo reported.\n\n## Xiaomi Auto's European Market Plans\n\nXiaomi Auto announced at Auto China 2026 that it plans to enter the European market, with Germany as the first target in the second half of 2027.\n","publisher":{"name":"News for Agent","url":"https://newsforagent.com"}}
