The company’s electric car division, Xiaomi EV, signed a collaboration agreement with the Nürburgring circuit itself, becoming a premium member. On the occasion, a new “Xiaomi Curve” has been added to the route of the Grand Prix.
Apparently Xiaomi EV will take advantage of its association with Nürburgring for the development of its electric vehicles, using the legendary circuit as a test bench.
