Porsche 911 GT2 RS vs Xiaomi SU7 Ultra – Nürburgring Showdown You Did Not Expect

The Nürburgring is the ultimate proving ground for performance vehicles. It is brutal, demanding, and a true test of engineering. So when the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra Prototype clocked a lap time of 6 minutes and 46.87 seconds, it turned heads—especially since it came within just 3.57 seconds of the Porsche 911 GT2 RS equipped with the Manthey Performance Kit, which set a time of 6 minutes and 43.30 seconds.

Let that sink in for a second. A prototype electric sedan from a tech company almost matched a purpose-built track weapon from Porsche, fine-tuned by motorsport legends. That is not just fast. That is a statement.

Let us talk power. The Xiaomi SU7 Ultra Prototype is pushing up to 1,548 horsepower with its dual electric motors, delivering all-wheel-drive traction and instant torque. It goes from zero to one hundred kilometers per hour in under two seconds and tops out at over 265 kilometers per hour. That is hypercar territory, with zero tailpipe emissions.

Now on the other side, you have the Porsche 911 GT2 RS Manthey Kit. Under the rear hood is a 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged flat-six engine that produces 700 horsepower and 750 newton-meters of torque. It sends all that to the rear wheels through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. Zero to one hundred? 2.8 seconds. Top speed? A jaw-dropping 340 kilometers per hour.

But what makes the Manthey Kit so special is not just horsepower. It is everything Porsche has learned on the racetrack, distilled into a street-legal package. You get aerodynamic upgrades like a larger rear wing and reworked front splitter, suspension tuned for maximum grip, magnesium wheels for reduced weight, and carbon-ceramic brakes that just do not quit. It is the ultimate track day weapon—without sacrificing Porsche’s legendary balance.

Now here comes the crazy part: the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra Prototype came that close without those same decades of racing heritage or a track-focused suspension kit. Imagine what happens when Xiaomi starts tweaking and tuning for the circuit. This electric beast is not just about range and tech—it is gunning for lap records.
