Three months after its prototype debut in July, Xiaomi has officially launched the SU7 Ultra — a massively powerful electric sedan with luxury features — in the Chinese market. Boasting 1,500 horsepower, the model obliterates current performance standards for electric vehicles (EVs). The SU7 also caters to the high-end market with its top-tier specs and bold design. The capability to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in under 2 seconds underscores Xiaomi’s commitment to pushing the EV performance envelope despite little experience in the automotive market.

The SU7 Ultra takes the design of Xiaomi’s standard SU7 to new levels with a focus on aerodynamics and sportier aesthetics. Key design elements include redesigned bumpers, a larger rear spoiler spanning 1.56 meters, and a widened body structure compared to its standard counterpart. Xiaomi claims these additions, along with an active rear diffuser, generate a downforce of up to 265 kg.

Inside, the SU7 Ultra combines luxurious materials with performance-inspired styling. Alcantara, a hallmark of high-end automotive interiors, envelopes the seats, steering wheel, door panels, and other interior surfaces. Meanwhile, carbon fiber accents add to the sporty feel, and include the doorstep panels, center console, and rearview mirror.

The SU7 Ultra is powered by CATL’s Qilin 2.0 battery, with a capacity of 93.7 kWh. This high-performance power pack supports a remarkable 5.2C DC fast-charging rate, enabling a 10-80% charge in just 11 minutes. With a maximum discharge power of 1,330 kW, the battery powers three electric motors, producing a combined 1,138 kW (or 1,526 hp) and peak torque of 1,770 Nm. With so much power on tap, the SU7 Ultra can reach 100 km/h in 1.98 seconds, 200 km/h in 5.86 seconds, and achieve a top speed of 350 km/h.

The SU7 Ultra’s dragstrip times are no less impressive: The Chinese EV can complete the quarter-mile dash in a hypercar-rivaling 9.23 seconds, aided by an Asil-D torque vectoring system for enhanced handling. The vehicle also features Xiaomi’s largest carbon ceramic brake discs to date, with front discs at 430 mm and rears measuring a slightly smaller 410 mm, ensuring awesome stopping power.

HH Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Deputy Prime Minister of the UAE, chaired the first meeting of the Supreme Space Council in Dubai on December 16, 2024. The session highlighted the UAE’s ambitious space plans and took stock of the sector’s economic progress.

The council emphasized the growing role of private companies in advancing space technologies, noting that their contributions are now equal to that of the public sector. Members also praised initiatives like the Space Economic Zones Programme, which are designed to fuel innovation and investment in the space industry.

Discussing the UAE’s space journey, HH Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum remarked, “The national space sector continues to grow and advance, and we take immense pride in the remarkable achievements we have accomplished over the years”.

Sheikh Hamdan also received updates on two upcoming satellite projects: Thuraya-2 and MBZ-SAT. Thuraya-2, developed by Space42, is slated for launch this December. Meanwhile, the MBZ-SAT, created by the Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Centre (MBRSC), will soon follow. MBRSC, a major driver of the UAE National Space Programme, continues to lead the nation’s space-related developments.

Space42 took the opportunity to showcase its advancements, including ongoing collaborations between public and private entities. The company also outlined strategies to promote innovation, boost revenue streams, and create new opportunities for growth in the sector.

The UAE’s current projects build on a growing legacy of space exploration. Back in 2020, the nation made headlines with its Mars mission, successfully sending a probe into the planet’s orbit in 2021. This mission, which is now in its second phase as of June 2024, has been collecting critical data to develop a comprehensive diurnal image of Mars.

The UAE also ventured into lunar exploration with an unmanned mission aimed at studying untouched regions of the Moon’s surface. While the probe ultimately crashed during its landing attempt after communication was lost seconds before touchdown, the effort represented a significant step in the country’s exploration ambitions.
