The series offers hyper-realistic driving model, a meticulous vehicle selection, and true-to-life graphics.

The Xiaomi SU7 Ultra is powered by Xiaomi’s in-house Dual V8s + V6s Hyper Tri-Motor system, resulting to 1,548 horsepower and 0 to 100 km/h in just 1.98 seconds. The production car previously set a 7:04.957 lap at the Nürburgring Nordschleife, which broke the record for electric executive vehicles. Xiaomi EV’s vehicle dynamics performance team also traveled to Polyphony Digital’s Fukuoka studio to fine-tune and validate the virtual driving experience to align the in-game model closely with its real-world counterpart.
