> According to Wikipedia, the Xiaomi SU7 Max has 1,784 hp and is priced at 73,000 USD. In some YouTube videos, they raced against Ferraris and Bugattis, and it fared better than much more expensive cars. I have no idea how they did it.

A Cybertruck may look clumsy, but it can been a Lamborghini. Instant torque.

The highest horsepower in a Ferrari road car is 1,200 in the F80. Though, I’m pretty confident you got the HP wrong for the Xiaomi.

Xiaomo SU7 Ultra - 1,138 kW (1,547 PS; 1,526 hp). OP quoted max battery power. Xiaomi on tracks is faster than Ferraris and Bugattis.

Nürburgring times.

7:04.957 Xiaomi SU7 Ultra

6:22.091 Xiaomi SU7 Ultra Prototype

It's very impressive really, more so give the SU7 Ultra is a normal four seater car you you can drive to the supermarket in and then go beat Ferraris on the Nürburgring or maybe set a record on your local track.

I mean that's just electric cars, right, they're ludicrously overpowered for their price point (even if they're spendy in other ways).

Even my parents' Leaf leaps like a salmon outside of eco-mode despite that being the last reason anyone would buy a Leaf.

OP talked about the Xiaomi SU7 Max, not Ultra. Looked it up now, the Max has just shy of 700 horsepower.

OP mixed data from Ultra and Max, also used battery max power not engine power.

Max is 495 kW (673 PS; 664 hp) for 299,900 yuan (US$42,239)
