Xiaomi shows off Vision GT at MWC Barcelona as it prepares for overseas launch in 2027
Xiaomi’s Vision Gran Turismo (GT) two-door supercar (concept car) has made its debut at MWC Barcelona. PS5 players will be able to experience it in the Gran Turismo 7 game.
Last June, Kazunori Yamauchi, the producer of Gran Turismo, personally experienced a Xiaomi car, and this led to a collaboration between the two companies. At that time, Xiaomi announced that its SU7 Ultra had officially joined the Gran Turismo 7 game, making it the first mass-produced Chinese brand vehicle to be included in the series of racing games.
Regarding the design concept, Xiaomi’s chief designer, Li Tianyuan, shared that “Our philosophy is to achieve aerodynamic goals without relying on additional components. This philosophy requires us to adhere to the principle of ‘less is more,’ meaning that almost every design element must possess aerodynamic functionality.”
Ahead of the debut, the Xiaomi Vision Gran Turismo concept car was spotted at MWC 2026 setup in Barcelona, Spain.
The notable components include the front splitter fascia, T-shaped headlights, scissor doors, open wheelhouse, center fin, and an exaggerated diffuser shape combined with Xiaomi’s C-shaped taillights.
Inside, the cabin features a butterfly-shaped steering wheel, a panoramic display screen, and “cacoon shaped sofa”.
This concept car debut is seen as a key move by Xiaomi Auto to penetrate the global high-performance car market and advance its European expansion strategy.
Lei Jun, CEO of Xiaomi, has previously revealed that Xiaomi Auto plans to launch overseas in 2027. According to reports, multiple sources indicated that in late 2025, Xiaomi Group’s international division established an overseas sales preparation team, which was recruiting for positions such as market research, project management, and electric vehicle after-sales engineers.
Last month, Lei Jun also announced that Xiaomi plans to increase the number of its stores in the UK market to 150 within the next four years. Last year, Zeng Xuezhong, president of Xiaomi’s international business department, stated that Xiaomi plans to open 10,000 Xiaomi Home stores overseas within the next five years.
