Xiaomi cheated buyers of the SU7 Ultra

Late last year, Xiaomi launched a super-powerful racing version of the all-electric SU7, the SU7 Ultra, which was announced to have 1,548 hp, but that wasn’t the case. Customers complained that their car had less than 1,000 hp, so Xiaomi was forced to upgrade the software to correct its mistake.

The SU7 Ultra is powered by three electric motors with a total output of 1,548 hp (1,154 kW), which is enough to push the 1,900 kg car from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 1.97 seconds, 200 km/h in 5.97 seconds and 300 km/h in 15 seconds, with a top speed of 350 km/h (217 mph). It was its performance that attracted many customers who were disappointed after purchasing it.

After customer complaints, the company responded quickly by unleashing the car’s full power. “We value our community’s feedback and will be more transparent in the future,” the company said.

Manufacturers sometimes lock certain functions of the car, in order to differentiate equipment packages but also to increase profits, which is a fraud and a bad approach to customers.

New Pagani Zonda

Italian supercar manufacturer Pagani has unveiled a unique car inspired by the Kunlun Mountains in Asia. It is a completely redesigned old car that is inspired by the Kunlun Mountains in Asia.

The car comes a little over half a year after the last Zonda Arrivederci, and the first photos of the car were published on Facebook, but without technical details. It is assumed that it will be powered by a 7.3-L AMG V12 engine with 760 hp and 780 Nm of torque. The same option powers the other Zondas in the 760 series.

The photos show the car in a combination of sky blue carbon and bare carbon with a large intake on the roof and rear wing. The car also bears the “1of 1” sign signed by Horacio Pagani on the left side next to the rear wheel.

It is currently unknown when Pagani will officially unveil the car.

Xiaomi delayed the arrival of YU7

On April 17, Xiaomi planned to unveil the long-announced YU7 SUV, but it still won’t happen. The reason is the recent accident involving their first all-electric SU7 car.

According to The Standard, Xiaomi has internally postponed the event without giving a new date, following a crash in late March that killed three people when its SU7 crashed into a concrete barrier at a construction site and caught fire. Reports say the car was on autopilot and was traveling at about 60 mph (97 km/h) at the time of the crash. The driver failed to regain control of the vehicle in time, leading to the fatal crash. The vehicle also reportedly lacked a laser lidar sensor for detecting its surroundings. A few days later, two people, passengers in the SU7, were killed in another accident when an electric motorcycle crashed into the car. In this case too, the autopilot was on, so the question arises of the reliability of the functioning of a system without sensors such as Lidar.

After these events, CEO Lei Jun did not comment on social media, and the company said that it had provided the authorities with information about the car involved in the accident.

The YU7 will be 4,999 mm long, 1,996 mm wide and 1,600 mm high, with a wheelbase of 3,000 mm and will weigh 2,405 kg. It will be available with two batteries: the 96.3 kWh (NMC) will provide a range of 770, 760 and 675 kilometers, while the 101.7 kWh (NMC) battery will offer a range of 670, 750 and 760 kilometers. When it comes to the powertrain, the YU7 will be offered in single and dual electric motor options. The dual-motor all-wheel-drive version has a total power of 691 hp (508 kW) and a top speed of 253 km/h. There is also a weaker all-wheel-drive version with two electric motors with a total power of 489 hp (365 kW). The single-motor rear-wheel-drive version has 315 hp (235 kW) and offers a top speed of 240 km/h.
