At MWC 2026, Xiaomi unveiled the full-scale Xiaomi Vision Gran Turismo, a visionary electric hypercar concept created for the legendary Gran Turismo franchise.
The core challenge for Xiaomi Vision Gran Turismo is not a binary choice between ultra-low drag for straight-line speed or maximum downforce for cornering. For an electric hypercar, the breakthrough lies in achieving an optimal balance—prioritizing aerodynamic efficiency over singular performance metrics.
From the side, the cockpit silhouette takes the form of a teardrop. Every surface has been optimized for airflow, every structural member shaped with an airfoil cross-section. The body is sculpted with cutouts and air ducts that embed the teardrop-shaped cockpit within a larger aerodynamic architecture, forming channels that guide air throughout the vehicle. Air enters from the front, flows through these sculpted passages, and is efficiently expelled from the rear, tracing the very path of the wind.
The cross-shaped headlights seamlessly integrate with the body while serving a functional aerodynamic purpose. At the rear, the halo-shaped taillight is more than a visual icon. It is integrated into the massive air outlet structure, where it serves as both a family design signature and a functional component of the car’s aerodynamic system.
The rear also features the Active Wake Control System, a matrix of micro-perforations surrounding the taillight. Using real-time data on vehicle speed and angle, the system actively generates air to guide airflow, pushing turbulent air farther away from the rear of the vehicle.
The Accretion Rims represent another breakthrough in functional design. A vortex-shaped wheel cover sits flush with the tire surface. Through its semi-transparent cover, viewers can glimpse the turbine fins inside, which actively pull air to cool the brakes during operation. The true innovation lies in the magnetic system beneath: when the car is in motion, the wheel cover remains perfectly stationary, reducing the aerodynamic drag caused by rotating wheel surfaces while creating a visually striking floating effect.

At the center of this space is Xiaomi Pulse, an intelligent assistant built into the dashboard. Wrapping 360 degrees around the driver, it connects to sensors throughout the vehicle, reading the environment and the driver’s state, and communicating through light and sound in natural, intuitive interactions. Complementing this is Xiaomi HyperVision, a reimagined interface for Xiaomi Hyper OS that adapts dynamically to driving mode. Whether displaying minimal telemetry data on the track or immersive navigation on road trips, it always shows what matters most in the most intuitive way.
