Xiaomi Vision Gran Turismo hypercar, with over 1,900 hp and futuristic aerodynamics, wowed MWC Barcelona 2026. Explore its specs and tech—read more now!
At this year’s Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, tech enthusiasts and speed lovers got a rare glimpse of the Xiaomi Vision Gran Turismo – a full‑size, all‑electric hypercar that leapt straight from the virtual racing world onto the exhibition floor.
From Game to Reality
The Vision Gran Turismo series, started by Polyphony Digital for the Gran Turismo video‑game franchise, allows manufacturers to create “dream machines” without the usual production constraints. Xiaomi’s entry is the first Chinese‑built model in the lineup, marking a milestone for the country’s automotive ambitions.
Extreme Aerodynamics
Designed by lead designer Li Tianyuan, the car achieves a drag coefficient of just 0.29. A low, wide body creates a strong Venturi effect, similar to the principle used on Formula 1 cars and hypercars such as the Aston Martin Valkyrie and Red Bull RB17. Specially‑shaped wheels guide airflow and help cool the high‑performance brakes.
Signature Features
- Butterfly‑style doors that open as a single unit, framing a transparent roof for effortless entry.
- A rear end sculpted for maximum downforce, with a shark‑fin fin and slim LED brake lights integrated into the diffuser.
- A two‑seat cockpit featuring a racing‑style steering wheel with an embedded display, a central screen projected onto the windshield, and a digital rear‑view mirror.
- Carbon‑fiber fixed racing seats with multi‑point harnesses, reducing weight while maximizing safety.
Powertrain & Performance
Powered by a 900 V silicon‑carbide architecture, the Vision Gran Turismo is rumored to deliver more than 1,900 horsepower, propelling the hyper‑machine into the realm of the world’s most powerful electric cars.
Future Outlook
While Xiaomi has no plans to mass‑produce this concept, the advanced technologies demonstrated – from the ultra‑low drag design to the high‑voltage powertrain – could influence the brand’s upcoming road‑going models. The hypercar follows Xiaomi’s earlier SU7 Ultra, also featured in Gran Turismo 7, and reinforces the company’s growing footprint in the high‑performance EV sector.
Stay tuned as the Vision Gran Turismo project, launched by Kazunori Yamauchi in 2013, continues to push the boundaries of what’s possible when imagination meets engineering.
