That was very informative thanks! Speaking of lightweight sports car, I wish you did review the alpine a110, because I didn’t found the journalism very informative.
Thomas, I like your reviews and you are the only reviewer I've found who measures boot/trunk dimensions but searching through your reviews I cannot find a review of the Hyundai Inster. I am especially interested in this as a second car. Have you not reviewed it. Thank you in the hope I may have missed it
Yeah, you're absolutely right, but don't let xiaomi fool us, because it's absolutely clear that they just made a prototype like VW ID .R and dropped it to the Nurburgring , and even not setting a lap record for electric prototypes))) it's just hilarious to see people being delighted about xiamo SU7 ultra forgot to mention that their Nurburgring car have nothing similar with any street legal cars or racing cars classes, so its just mean that VW ID.R is the fastest electric protorype on the Nurburgring and the xiamo su7 ultra don't 🤣 Its just very poor marketing ploy from xiamo🤣
Great video Thomas! I have a suggestion, why don’t you show us locations or trips around Germany while reviewing a car? You’re a local, have a unique visit of your country, and your narrative is very good. Keep the good job!
How can we tell Thomas that Xiaomi just showed off a quad motor SU7 with 2055 hp and panamera hybrid suspension that jumps and dry steering and dry brakes (means no hydraulic fluid its all done by electric motors)
The SU7 Ultra used on the Nürburgring was a highly modified car, a prototype, and except for the drivetrain and electric motors it has nothing to do with the conventional SU7 Ultra. The conventional one you can buy as a customer should slot between Porsche Taycan and Rimac Nevera if everything works in favor of it. It simply has more cheap power from the electric motors which kinda helps. But it could totally be possible that it falls behind the Porsche Taycan. And here comes another kicker: Endurance. The Porsche Taycan can do this basically all day every day without major issues. The SU7 Ultra won't be able to do that. Quality costs money. The Lucid Air Sapphire shows that. If you want an alternative which is equally as fast or even faster than the Taycan around a racetrack and does not cost crazy amounts like the Rimac Nevera, then your only option is to look at the Lucid Air Sapphire. It costs the same as the Porsche Taycan tho. Sorry to destroy your dream.
@BBingo-v5i "nothing to do with the conventional SU7 except for the drivetrain and motors". In other words the most important parts. Removing a bit of the aero is not going to make it lose over 20 seconds of time, the production version will still easily beat the Taycan's record. And as for endurance, hate to break it to you but the Taycan can barely manage a lap of the ring before it's battery is dead.
@@yissibiiyteno, the motor is 100% not the most important part. More power from electric motors is like the easiest part of modern engineering. Everyone can do that. "Removing a bit of the earo is not going to make it lose over 20sec of time". It surely can happen, especially because the mass produced version is much much heavier. If you want quality performance there simply is no other competition than the Lucid Air Sapphire and Porsche Taycan GT.
@@BBingo-v5i "everyone can do that". Except for Porsche and Lucid apparently, who are still 500hp and 300hp respectively behind Xiaomi. If "everyone can do that" why is the Xiaomi the 2nd most powerful EV behind only Rimac? And you are just making clueless guesses about how much time the production car will lose. 20 seconds is an absolute eternity on the Ring, the differences in time between a real Model S Plaid (which has got horrendous track aero) and the tricked-out, modified-to-hell one Tesla used to lie about setting a record, wasn't even 20 seconds.
@@yissibiiyte Your last sentence literally is the answer you are looking for. Aero and weight (for the SU7 Ultra production car = masive amounts of more weight!) and tires always make a huge difference. The production car will be much slower, that is for sure, and it could easily be 20sec slower. And again: Porsche and Lucid build very solid performance EVs. This quality costs money
The prototype version is more like a GT3 racing car style version of su7 ultra, share same body-in-white and powerchain with produce version but have aerodynamic modification and rebuild suspension by prodrive. 6:46 definitely is not the best record the prototype car can reach, it may reach 6:30 in a good track condition. For the produce version, sub 7:10 lap time (similar to record breaking Taycan Turbo GT) is what I expected.
Es war ein stark modifiziertes Prototyp Fahrzeug. Praktisch komplett leergeräumt, nicht mal ein vollständiges Armaturenbrett. Dazu auch Slick Reifen (ohne Straßenzulassung) soweit ich gesehen habe. Daher kein Vergleich zum Porsche Taycan (der so weit ich mich erinnere ein normales Serienfahrzeug auf Semi Slicks war)
Ja die Rundenzeit ist immer mit Vorsicht zu genießen, trotzdem krasser Speed. Geht mehr darum dass die in so kurzer Zeit so einen Entwicklungs-Schritt hatten
Xiaomi had not come to my attention, and Nurburgring is always interesting, so thank you. If there is one major point which you brought out it is that quick EVs are so heavy. The design goal must be to get to something which is like a Mazda MX5 or a Porsche Cayman, and I would sacrifice a lot of range and interior fixtures and fittings or UI/UX to get to something which handles better. Besides big batteries look like a lousy investment in a technology which will be out of date in a couple of years.
I like your videos, but the AI generated tumbnail picture on the ‘Nürburgring’ not so much! It looks nothing like the Nürburgring. Stick with real pictures, there is already so many fake AI pictures out there. Unfortunately, it ruins the credibility of the channel and the video. Thats a shame 😣
Thanks for the feedback. Just wanted to try something new as a test, I think it looks quite fancy. Since this was a "talking" episode only I wanted something looking nice without violating copyright. We dont use 3rd party footage or images.
@@autogefuehlI understand that the copyright issue might be a challenge. Maybe the Xaomi has some press pictures you could use? Maybe it is just me, but personally I really dislike AI images. But maybe other people will react well to them. Keep up the good work otherwise 😊👍🏻
Xiaomi SU7 (not the Ultra), they produced and dilivered the 100,000 units in China in just 230 days！SU7 is their first EV car product, and they will lunch an SUV in 2025

great episode Thomas, thank you. You could do more of these!
thanks my friend!
How can his jaw be square and pointy at the same time? You can get only one option usually
It’s called versatile
he is diverse
This is the inspiration for the rounded rectangle of the Apple icon.
Its called being good looking
Hi is Robot
You need to test drive and review this beauty
Thomas is always the quickest to deliver automotive news and his knowledge is extensive!
thanks my friend !
I agree !
Thank you for this very informative and enjoyable video. Agree 100% that lightweight sports cars are more fun to drive.
cheers m8 !

Thanks! Indeed we couldn’t do it yet but i ll try at next occasion
China has surpassed German legacy auto 😢😢 thats the true😮😮🎉🎉
Not Street legal with slicks etc. The Porsche or Tesla you can order normally and drive this time ( if you are capable enough😂).

and the xiamo su7 ultra don't 🤣 Its just very poor marketing ploy from xiamo🤣
@blvckprime9782 I think Nio also had a very fast electric car years ago, not sure if it was faster or slower than xiaomi at the Nordschleife.
Next version will be Xiaomi SU7 Ultra Pro Max
Needs a Turbo badge 😊
Come on guys.... when Porsche makes a rercord lap... none does those sort of comments.
Great video Thomas!

thanks m8! Yeah I could do smth on that maybe in the member section!
The Wodantal? ☺️

You cannot fault this level of performance at such an absurdly low price.
I am a Porsche fan, but this makes the Taycan seem criminally overpriced.

Thomas needs a lap with Misha 😂 maybe Lea too....... 😱😱🤣
A threesome?❤❤❤
Hi Thomas, by the way "7" in Chinese pronounced "Tchi" "Xiaomi Sutchi ultra"
🍣Ultra😋
Thomas traveling in disguise👓!
AND LOOKING FINE DOING IT.

you sounded quite insecure...
Unsterblich bleibt der Rundenrekord von 6:11,13 Minuten vom Stefan Belloff aus 1983, der hielt bis 2018.
R.I.P.

Speaking of lightweight... why you guy never question Porsche about the delays in adopting the Quantumscape batteries?
Which car was it scheduled for? 🤔

I don't mind it for "talk only' videos but for a review i prefer a real image @@autogefuehl
It’s just a thumbnail picture, I thought it looked cool and fancy.
Hello Thomas any chance you are doing more Chinese car reviews in the future ? They are hot topic and bring good views
we do it from time to time, always gotta find a balance. Recent BYD episode: ruclips.net/video/0vJW_awU5qY/видео.html
Hey thomas can do the review of nio long range solid state battery range test
Maybe it is not exportable
Lightness will soon be solved for EV with solid state batteries
Lost your glasses, Thomas?
Reflection of the light would be terrible otherwise hehe
Well, 1 lap and it's need to be charged)))
We’ve past peak car. It’s over :-(
@idib1739different horses for different courses 🤷
Thomas without glasses.
Tutta preparata da prodrive con componenti racing e 1500cv . e ha fatto un tempo banale .. 😂
I really want to ask you, how did you exercise your chin
eat a whole foods plant-based diet so you are chewing by nature instead of just swallowing waste :)
When available in Germany?
China prices are all moot
Xiaomi SU7 (not the Ultra), they produced and dilivered the 100,000 units in China in just 230 days！SU7 is their first EV car product, and they will lunch an SUV in 2025
Love how they only showed up like 3 times ever at the Ring, did a lap record...middle finger up to everyone and left...... 🤣🤣🤣
Impressive !!! Musk must be crying musk.
