A “Racing Kit” for Xiaomi SU7 Ultra for Weekend Drivers

Xiaomi is preparing to launch a “Racing Kit” for the SU7 Ultra, its sports sedan already known for impressive performance.

This kit offered by Xiaomi includes forged 21-inch aluminum wheels, optimized braking, and tires dedicated to track driving. These upgrades, although spectacular, seem mainly designed as safeguards for amateur drivers looking to improve their times on weekends.

The innovations brought by the “Racing Kit” are far from useless, especially regarding braking. The SU7 Ultra is now equipped with the Bosch DPB+ESP10 system, which introduces quad redundancy to ensure maximum safety. This revolutionary system combines emergency braking, mechanical and electronic backup, as well as an energy recovery system. Continuous monitoring of the temperature and wear of discs, pads, and brake fluid is also integrated.

For Performance or Safety?

However, these improvements could benefit the standard version of the SU7, whose main flaw remains its braking system, considered inadequate to fully exploit its 1500 horsepower. If Xiaomi integrated these advancements into the standard model, it would become a more balanced and safer car for everyday use.

On the other hand, it is hard not to question the relevance of offering a 1500-horsepower vehicle for sale to the public for less than €70,000. Such power at this price makes high performance accessible and democratizes what was once reserved for supercars, but it raises obvious safety issues. Are untrained drivers ready to handle such a monster on open roads or circuit?

In conclusion, while the “Racing Kit” and its technical upgrades are impressive, it is urgent to consider the implications of such a vehicle. A balance must be struck between excess, user safety, and reason.
