MWC 2026: Xiaomi's Vision Gran Turismo hypercar looks even faster in person

Xiaomi made true on its promise: The company brought the freshly announced Xiaomi Vision Gran Turismo hypercar concept to its booth at this year's Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.

Having seen it in person at MWC, let me tell you, this is not your average electric family sedan, as fast as those are these days. The Xiaomi Vision Gran Turismo is a futuristic supercar that sits very low to the ground and has apparently been designed with one thing in mind: to defeat the wind.

We weren't allowed to peek inside, unfortunately, and see that snazzy, "cocoon-shaped" interior.

We still don't know much about the Xiaomi Vision GT. We don't know the details on its powertrain or battery, how fast it goes, or even how much it costs. In its presentation on Sunday, Xiaomi focused on the car's low drag coefficient and how connected it is to the other devices in the company's ecosystem.

The Vision Gran Turismo name is not accidental; it means the concept car is part of the Vision Gran Turismo Program, a project led by Polyphony Digital's Kazunori Yamauchi involving a series of (mostly virtual) vehicles developed by car manufacturers for the Gran Turismo racing game franchise. What's new is that these cars are typically designed by renowned car companies including Mercedes-Benz, Audi, and Honda; now, Xiaomi — primarily a consumer electronics company — has joined the program as well.

As such, the Xiaomi Vision GT probably won't be a car you can actually purchase, but it's a cool exercise for Xiaomi. Gamers should soon be able to drive the car in Gran Turismo 7 and Xiaomi can now add "hypercar maker" to the ever-growing list of things it does.
