It may lack the sound of an internal combustion engine, but at this speed you probably wouldn't hear it even if it did. But the SU7 Ultra is a car that the world will have to take very seriously. If the price in Europe stays close to China's, Xiaomi has just invented a new category – the hypersedan of the future.
