"This is the first-ever Chinese Gran Turismo performance racer to be materialized, and the air flow obsession goes beyond everything you would imagine. Although one cannot drive it for real anytime soon, you can explore the two-door performance car in Gran Turismo 7, using the company's dedicated simulator with exact racing seats as the concept car."
"Given it is a concept, the technical aspects are wild - there's a 900V Silicon Carbide (SiC) platform which ultimately delivers 1,900 horsepower. To handle that amount of power at high speeds, the car gets advanced components, including carbon-ceramic brakes and center-lock wheels."
"The two-door hypercar has a very linear profile with a very low ride height and only the cabin's teardrop-shaped cockpit, with only the encapsulating bubble disrupting the aerodynamic performance. The shark-fin roofline architecture balances out things, though."
Xiaomi introduced its Vision Gran Turismo (VGT) concept hypercar at Mobile World Congress 2026, becoming the first Chinese Gran Turismo performance racer. The electric hypercar emphasizes aerodynamic efficiency through sculpted design, airflow channels, and moving parts. It features a 900V Silicon Carbide platform delivering 1,900 horsepower, carbon-ceramic brakes, and center-lock wheels. The two-door vehicle showcases innovative design elements including magnetically attached wheel covers that remain stationary to reduce drag, teardrop-shaped cockpit, shark-fin roofline, and TRON-inspired halo taillights that function as air outlets. Players can experience the hypercar in Gran Turismo 7 using Xiaomi's dedicated simulator with racing seats matching the concept car.
