We’ve seen a lot of powerful electric cars coming out of China lately — but the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra stands out even in a crowded market. This high-performance EV isn’t just fast — it’s built by Xiaomi, the famous consumer electronics company from Beijing, and it’s shocking the automotive world.
And now? It’s starring in a crazy nine-minute Gymkhana-style drift video that’s blowing up online.
Watch: “Qionghai Drift” – A Wild Ride to a Wedding
The video, called “Qionghai Drift”, shows a dramatic and funny drive from a hotel to a wedding in southern China. It’s filled with intense drifting, tight turns, and cinematic camera work. It’s not just a stunt — it’s a full performance.
- The driver? Ye Zhicheng (叶志成) — a pro Formula Drift racer known for his wild style.
- The original video seems to be from UpDrift on YouTube.
- A behind-the-scenes version is said to be on Bilibili, a popular Chinese video site.
- The CEO of Xiaomi, Lei Jun, even shared the video online (though we couldn’t find the exact post yet).
📍 The video was filmed in Qionghai, on an island south of mainland China. You’ll see the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra launch from the Holiday Inn Resort Qionghai Guantang around the 40-second mark.

The Catch: Too Good to Be True?
Some buyers and reviewers are already questioning if the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra’s value and specs are real. While it’s getting a lot of attention, it’s worth keeping an eye out for reviews and long-term tests.
Also, importing this car outside China may not be easy, and there are rumors it may even require a special license to buy locally.
Final Thoughts
The Xiaomi SU7 Ultra is more than just a fast EV — it’s a bold move from a tech brand into the world of high-performance electric cars. And if the viral “Qionghai Drift” video is any sign, Xiaomi wants the world to take this car seriously.
