    According to Xiaomi, the numbers were reportedly achieved by one of the three electric motors to be offered with the EV, specifically the HyperEngine V8s.

    The two other engine options are the HyperEngine V6 and V6s.

    Per Xiaomi, its electric motors can rival the performance of traditional large V8 and V6 powertrains from the era of internal combustion engines.

    The HyperEngine V8s also boasts other innovative features like the industry's first ultra-high-strength silicon steel plate with a tensile strength of 960MPa, a strength that Xiaomi states can surpass mainstream industry offerings by more than two times.

    HyperEngine V8s is in development and set to be mass-produced and implemented in Xiaomi EVs in 2025.
