For braking, Xiaomi has equipped the SU7 Ultra with the largest carbon ceramic brake discs ever on a production car.

The front discs measure 430 mm x 40 mm, while the rear discs are 410 mm x 32 mm. These brakes, paired with six-piston front and four-piston rear Akebono callipers, can withstand temperatures over 1,300°C and bring the car from 100 km/h to a stop in just 30.8 meters.

Though the SU7 Ultra prototype set a record lap time at the Nürburgring Nordschleife, the production version might be slightly slower due to added weight.

The prototype had a lightweight carbon fibre body, giving it a curb weight of 1,900 kg.
