Chinese automaker Xiaomi’s SU7 Ultra has turned heads in the automotive world by beating Ferrari’s $900,000 SF90 XX supercar in a series of straight‑line drag races at a test organized by Carwow on a drag strip in Abu Dhabi where a recent sandstorm left fine sand on the surface that favored the high‑traction electric sedan’s instant torque delivery; in the quarter‑mile test the SU7 Ultra driven by Carwow host Mat Watson completed the run in 9.3 seconds compared with the Ferrari’s 10.2 seconds and went on to dominate the half‑mile with 14.5 seconds to 15.7 seconds a stunning performance for a vehicle that starts around $73,000–$75,000 and produces a combined 1,526 horsepower from three electric motors enabling a 0‑62 mph sprint in about 1.98 seconds figures typically associated with hypercars while the Ferrari SF90 XX’s twin‑turbo V8 and electric hybrid setup produces about 1,016 horsepower and accelerates more slowly in these conditions underscoring how electric powertrains with precise traction control can outperform even some of the world’s fastest combustion‑powered supercars in straight‑line acceleration.
