Em abril deste ano, a Xiaomi inscreveu o seu nome numa das mais antigas tradições do automobilismo europeu: o recorde de volta do Nürburgring. O YU7 GT, um SUV elétrico desenvolvido por uma empresa que começou a fazer telemóveis, completou a Nordschleife em 7 minutos e 22 segundos, superando a Audi e a Porsche por mais de 13 segundos. É um momento que obriga a repensar não apenas quem fabrica os melhores carros, mas de onde vem a inovação que define uma era.
