Xiaomi Debuts Vision Gran Turismo Hypercar Concept at MWC 2026 With Novel Aero Tech

The virtual-only showpiece targets brand credibility ahead of a 2027 European launch push.

Overview

  • Xiaomi showed a full-scale Vision Gran Turismo model in Barcelona from March 2–5 and said the virtual car will be added to Gran Turismo 7 in a future update.
  • The company released specifications citing a 900-volt silicon-carbide platform and a claimed 1,900 horsepower in concept form.
  • Published aerodynamic figures include a 0.29 drag coefficient, negative 1.2 downforce, and a 4.1 efficiency rating with a wind‑sculpted body that channels air front to rear.
  • Standout systems include magnetic stationary “Accretion Rims” to cut wheel-induced drag and an Active Wake Control array of micro‑perforations that manages rear turbulence in place of a spoiler.
  • The entry is the Vision GT program’s first from a Chinese brand and the first invited technology company, and Xiaomi stresses it is a concept for game use rather than a production car.
