- The tech giant’s Vision GT car has a bold aerodynamic design.
- Like the Aston Martin Valkyrie, it sports huge venturi tunnels.
- The cocoon-like cockpit has just enough room for two seats.
Xiaomi has become the first Chinese car manufacturer to unveil its own wild Vision Gran Turismo concept. Presented at the Mobile World Congress 2026 in Barcelona, Spain, the car is bold and shows what a legitimate hypercar from the tech juggernaut could look like.
Underpinning the Vision GT is the firm’s 900-volt Silicon Carbide platform, and while no performance specifications have been released, it could deliver upwards of 1,900 hp from its electric powertrain. Most of the details released by Xiaomi about the car relate to its design and aerodynamics.

As noted by the firm’s head of automotive design, Li Tianyuan, the Vision GT concept has a drag coefficient of 0.29 and, according to the firm, has been sculpted by the wind. As with wild, track-focused hypercars like the Aston Martin Valkyrie and Red Bull RB17, the Xiaomi has large venturi tunnels running under it, exiting out from a dramatic rear-end that helps to suck the car to the pavement.
There’s no word on how much downforce it could have, but it’d inevitably be enough to warp your face while going around corners. The front-end includes a motorsport-inspired carbon fiber splitter and unobtrusive LED headlights. As mentioned, the rear is dominated by the huge venturi tunnels, but the LED taillight wrapping around the entire back of the car is also very striking.
Xiaomi has also imagined the Vision GT concept with a set of very intriguing wheels. Sitting over a set of carbon-ceramic brakes, the car has a set of turbine fan rims with a floating cover over them, making it appear as though the wheels aren’t moving when the car is driving.
A Cabin From Another World
The cabin looks tight, but futuristic. Occupants sit in a pair of seats stuffed into the carbon fiber monocoque. There’s a panoramic head-up display similar to the new BMW iX3, as well as a steering wheel straight out of racing with five large circular screens, including a toggle for a drift mode.
There’s no word on when the car will be added to Gran Turismo, but it should be made available in the coming weeks. Will it influence a future road-going supercar from Xiaomi? Not very likely, at least in that extreme form, but only time will tell.
