The front fascia seems untouched compared with the standard YU7, but closer inspection reveals flared front and rear fenders that allow for a broader track and larger wheels. The test car rolls on Pirelli P Zero Trofeo RS tires, which have been designed specifically for hypercars and supercars. Clearly, the YU7 GT is going to be fast, and it&rsquo;s going to be powerful.<\/p>\n<div id=\"taboola-mid-article\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"taboola-mid-article-thumbnails-organic\"><\/div>\n<section class=\"type:slideshow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><\/section>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Baldauf<\/h4>\n<p>Hiding behind the wheels sit oversized carbon ceramic brakes with bright yellow calipers, a setup that promises the stopping power to match the expected surge in performance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Powertrain<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The current <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/2025\/06\/move-over-rimac-xiaomis-ev-is-officially-nurburgrings-fastest-ev\/\">Xiaomi SU7 Ultra<\/a> uses three electric motors to deliver a combined 1,526 hp and 1,306 lb-ft (1,770 Nm) of torque, giving it way more power than the 1,019 hp of the Porsche Taycan Turbo GT.
