Following its unveiling at Xiaomi’s global launch event, Xiaomi today revealed the full-scale concept model of Xiaomi Vision Gran Turismo at MWC 2026, a visionary electric hypercar concept created for the legendary Gran Turismo franchise.
More than just a concept vehicle, it represents the first time a technology company has been invited to join the elite Vision Gran Turismo project, marking a historic milestone in both automotive design and virtual mobility.
The journey began last year at the GT World Series in London, where Kazunori Yamauchi, Producer of the Gran Turismo series, extended a personal invitation to Xiaomi. For any automotive designer, the opportunity to create a Vision Gran Turismo is a chance to set aside real-world constraints and imagine the ultimate driving experience from a clean sheet.
For Xiaomi’s global EV design team, it was an opportunity to approach hypercar design from a technology company’s perspective, merging cutting-edge aerodynamics with AI-driven intelligence.
“The invitation itself was a recognition of what Xiaomi has achieved,” said Tianyuan Li, Design Head of Xiaomi EV. “It allowed our teams in Munich, Beijing, and Shanghai to collaborate, to push boundaries, and to envision what a future hypercar could look like when designed without limits.”
Every aerodynamic feature on Xiaomi Vision Gran Turismo serves a purpose, some focused on reducing drag, others on generating downforce. Together, they work in perfect harmony, complementing each other with precision. Through iterative simulated testing, the concept achieves a drag coefficient of just 0.29, downforce of negative 1.2, and an aerodynamic efficiency rating of 4.1.
These numbers demonstrate that Xiaomi Vision Gran Turismo is not about chasing extremes on any single metric, but about delivering peak efficiency through perfectly balanced aerodynamics, reaching new heights in the balance between low drag and high downforce for electric hypercars.
