Why did the Xiaomi YU7 GT run the Nürburgring? Which version of the YU7 GT achieved the fastest SUV record at the Nürburgring?
The Nürburgring Nordschleife is the best testing ground in the world for verifying cornering performance and extreme stability. The track surface has a lot of undulations and bumps, such as high-speed crests and continuous jumps, which amplify every issue during driving. The lap time performance of the YU7 GT is excellent, but this is not the ultimate goal of the YU7 GT's continuous refinement at the Nürburgring; rather, it is one of the benefits gained during continuous testing.
Running the Nürburgring is to verify the vehicle's stability in various extreme environments and refine its cornering performance in all kinds of bends, achieving a driving feel that is "solid in the chassis, premium in texture, and fast and stable in corners." This allows every driver to enjoy the pleasure of driving during long-distance trips and to be more composed in daily driving scenarios.
The Xiaomi YU7 GT that broke the Nürburgring production electric vehicle lap record this time was equipped with the "Track Professional Package," which includes 265mm front and 325mm rear semi-slick tires and widened rear fenders that meet the standards. At the same time, at the request of the Nürburgring, we carried out safety modifications inside the car, including a full roll cage, racing bucket seats, and six-point harnesses, and removed some interior parts to balance the weight added by the roll cage. It is a production car that has passed official Nürburgring certification and inspection.
