On November 5 local time, reports citing unnamed informed sources said that Xiaomi and HWA may be secretly collaborating on the development of an ultra-high-performance car, with some well-known component suppliers expected to participate. HWA was founded by Hans Werner Aufrecht, the founder of AMG, and spun off from AMG. It has long been responsible for Mercedes-Benz's racing programs, including the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters (DTM). The specific form of the new car has not yet been determined; it could be an all-new flagship model, or an extreme-performance version of Xiaomi's two existing models, the SU7 and YU7. In recent weeks, multiple SU7 Ultra test cars with more aggressive designs have appeared at the Nürburgring. Technical personnel close to the project revealed that Xiaomi is mainly improving the existing weak points of the SU7 Ultra: the chassis has been retuned to suit the Nürburgring Nordschleife, with more aggressive wheel alignment settings, especially camber; the braking system has been enlarged and its cooling design improved; the powertrain has further increased output and cooling efficiency, and the aerodynamic design has been optimized to increase downforce and improve hot-air extraction. It is currently impossible to determine whether HWA has participated in the development of the SU7 Ultra upgrade package, or whether the two sides plan to jointly launch an entirely new model. If it is an all-new model, there may be two directions: one is a top-tier supercar, whose styling and body proportions may draw on mid-engine sports cars; the other is further development based on the HWA 190 Evo. HWA launched the 190 Evo project in 2025, modifying the classic Mercedes-Benz 190 E 2.5-16 Evolution II in the form of a modernized recreation, featuring a carbon-fiber body.
