Xiaomi has unveiled the Vision Gran Turismo, a fully electric hypercar concept developed for the Gran Turismo 7 racing simulator franchise. The virtual model represents the company’s latest automotive showcase and highlights its growing presence in performance vehicle design, even though the car is not intended for commercial production.
The Vision GT was also presented as a full scale physical concept at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, where the company displayed the vehicle’s design philosophy and technical specifications. While primarily created for digital racing environments, the physical concept serves as a demonstration platform for Xiaomi’s evolving automotive engineering capabilities, according to Xiaomi.
The exterior design emphasizes aerodynamic integration rather than relying on large external attachments. The body structure channels airflow through hollowed sections that divide the car’s form, while a teardrop shaped cockpit appears suspended within the outer shell. A panoramic dark glass roof encloses the cabin, and scissor style doors provide entry.
Lighting elements are incorporated into the aerodynamic profile. Cross shaped headlights are designed to help guide airflow across the body, while a large rear vent integrates a continuous halo style taillight. Rear ducts and channels support an active wake control system intended to manage turbulence behind the vehicle.
The concept introduces specialized wheel covers designed to remain visually stationary while the wheels rotate beneath them. These semi transparent covers conceal turbine style cooling fins that direct airflow toward the braking system. A magnetic stabilization mechanism holds the covers in place, reducing aerodynamic drag associated with rotating wheel surfaces while creating a floating visual effect.
Xiaomi reports that the vehicle achieves a drag coefficient of 0.29 alongside an aerodynamic efficiency rating of 4.1 and a downforce figure of negative 1.2. Rather than prioritizing either maximum downforce for cornering or minimal drag for top speed, the company states that engineers focused on balancing both factors to support overall performance.
Inside, the Vision GT features what Xiaomi describes as a Sofa Racer cabin layout. Instead of conventional bucket seating, interior components form a continuous ring structure that wraps around occupants. Seats are constructed using three dimensional knitted fabric, while the dashboard and door panels flow together into a unified enclosure.
The cockpit incorporates an aircraft style throttle shifter and a steer by wire steering interface shaped in an infinity loop. A digital assistant system known as Xiaomi Pulse is embedded throughout the dashboard, monitoring driver inputs and vehicle behavior. This system operates alongside Xiaomi HyperVision, an adaptive display interface that changes based on driving conditions and selected modes.
The Vision GT’s electric powertrain is rated at approximately 1,900 horsepower, positioning it within the performance range typically associated with electric hypercars. Although Xiaomi has not disclosed detailed battery specifications or drivetrain configuration, the concept emphasizes digital integration, aerodynamic efficiency, and high output electric propulsion.
The unveiling reflects Xiaomi’s rapid expansion into the automotive sector following the release of production models including the SU7 sedan. The company has increasingly positioned itself alongside established performance automakers through concept vehicles, motorsport appearances, and digital collaborations.
While the Vision GT remains exclusive to virtual racing environments, concept programs of this type are often used by manufacturers to test design language, software interfaces, and engineering ideas that may influence future road vehicles.
