"I don't like talking about the competition so much, but I drive the Xiaomi," Farley said of the Xiaomi Speed Ultra 7. The SU7 is Xiaomi's maiden electric vehicle.

"We flew one from Shanghai to Chicago, and I've been driving it for six months now, and I don't want to give it up," he added.

Just looked up the SU7. Looks like a luxury sedan, set to compete with porches and teslas.

Lowest trim model has 300hp, 435 mile range and costs $30k. $42k gets you 600hp and 500 mile range.

$40k in the US gets you a new Prius, which are good cars, but they're not 600hp 500 mile electric range good.

To put this time in further perspective, the SU7 Ultra starts at $73,724 (when converting from 529,900 Chinese Yuan, at the time of writing) and set a time faster than the Rimac Nevera. The Nevera is an all-electric hypercar that starts at $2.2 million with four motors outputting 1,888 hp and it was beat by 0.341of a second (a time of 7:05.298 for its official production car record) by a sedan that can have a fridge equipped inside the center console (there is no word if the record setter was chilling some drinks during the run). The SU7 Ultra also hit a top speed of 214.994 mph racing down the Döttinger Höhe straight. It’s safe to say that Xiaomi has helped put the world on further notice that the Chinese OEMs are not slacking around—and why Ford’s Jim Farley loves his Xiaomi.

God damn well done Xiaomi
