Xiaomi Unveils Vision GT Electric Supercar Concept at MWC Barcelona

The first Chinese entry in Gran Turismo’s Vision program, the concept serves as a calling card for Xiaomi’s high‑performance EV ambitions in Europe.

Overview

  • Xiaomi presented the radical, low‑slung show car with scissor doors, a massive carbon‑fiber rear wing, and airflow‑focused ducting as part of Polyphony Digital’s Vision Gran Turismo series.
  • The company says it uses a 900V silicon‑carbide platform with center‑lock wheels and carbon‑ceramic brakes, with hardware reportedly sized for roughly 1,900 hp, though final output remains unconfirmed.
  • The cockpit departs from convention with a “cocoon‑shaped” seat, an x‑wing or butterfly‑style steering wheel with integrated displays, and wheel‑cover tech aimed at reducing drag.
  • CEO Lei Jun confirmed the reveal on Weibo after pre‑event spy shots in Spain and indicated detailed specifications would be shared ahead of the MWC show floor opening.
  • The debut aligns with Xiaomi’s plan to expand into Europe in 2027 and its broader performance push, as the company also announced a safety advisory committee following fatal incidents tied to assisted‑driving software and electronic door‑handle malfunctions.
