World-class experts and renowned designers participated in the creation of the new electric vehicle. The project is led by Rudolf Dittrix, who previously worked on the BMW M4 GT3 racing car.
Additionally, another BMW veteran, Klaus-Diter Groll, has been appointed as the person responsible for developing the vehicle's dynamic characteristics.
Ley Szin noted that the Xiaomi YU7 GT is tuned in a German style and is expected to earn the trust of drivers just like the best European cars. Groll has prior experience working on BMW's 3 and 4 Series, as well as popular models such as the X5, X6, and X7.
