Darren “IShowSpeed”Takes a Ride in the Lightning-Fast Xiaomi SU7 Ultra During China Tour
Popular YouTube streamer Darren “IShowSpeed”recently kicked off his highly-anticipated live tour in China on March 24, 2025. As part of his journey, Darren explored local sights, interacted with residents, and sampled traditional cuisine. A particularly memorable moment came when he hopped into the passenger seat of a Xiaomi SU7 Ultra, navigating the bustling roads of the country.
Performance Comparison: SU7 Ultra Versus Lamborghini Huracan
The Xiaomi SU7 Ultra is a remarkable electric sedan, boasting a top speed of 350 km/h and an acceleration time of just 1.98 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h. In contrast, IShowSpeed’s Lamborghini Huracan, themed after Cristiano Ronaldo, reaches speeds between 310 and 325 km/h with a 0 to 100 km/h acceleration in about 3 seconds. This makes the SU7 Ultra the quicker option between the two, highlighting the impressive performance potential of electric vehicles.
A Surprising Experience with the SU7 Ultra
During his six-hour live stream, about four and a half hours in, Darren encountered the owner of a striking yellow SU7. The owner confidently claimed that the electric vehicle was “the quickest in China.”Eager to test this assertion, Darren entered the vehicle, skeptical that an electric car could outperform his prized Huracan:
“This car faster than my Huracan? This car is faster than my Lamborghini? But it’s electric.”
As they awaited a green light, the driver promised to show Darren just how rapid the SU7 could accelerate. Once the light turned green, he hit the gas, propelling the car forward and reaching 60 km/h in a fraction of a second. Darren’s genuine shock was evident:
“Damn! What?! Woah! Bro ain’t no way! YO!”
IShowSpeed Reacts to the Acceleration of the $70,000 SUV
Following a quick right turn, the driver informed Darren he would push the car to its limits. With enthusiastic agreement from the streamer, the speedometer climbed to 90 km/h in just around two seconds, forcing Speed back into his seat with sheer acceleration. His reaction this time was even more animated:
“Damn! Oh! And it costs $70,000? That’s it? Chat, my Lamborghini costs $250,000… what the hell?”
To provide context, the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra initially launched at a price of 814,900 yuan (approximately $114,000), but following its official release, the cost was notably reduced to 529,900 yuan (around $73,000), making it an appealing option for performance and technology enthusiasts.
Shifts in Car Ambitions
Inspired by his exhilarating experience, IShowSpeed hinted at the possibility of adding the SU7 Ultra to his impressive car collection:
“This fire, this car fire… I’m thinking about getting this car… Bro, why did I spend $250,000 on a car, and this car is electric and it’s $70,000.”
In other news, IShowSpeed has recently made headlines for his appearance in a commercial for Dick’s Sporting Goods alongside sports icons such as Kevin Durant and Tom Brady.
