Xiaomi’s jumped into the virtual hypercar game with its Xiaomi Vision Gran Turismo! They’re the first tech company to join the Vision Gran Turismo thing, which shows how fast they’re moving from just phones into cars.
You probably know Xiaomi as the third biggest phone maker, after Apple and Samsung. They just put out their first real car, the SU7 electric sedan, not long ago in 2023.
But they’ve already wowed people with the 1,527hp SU7 Ultra. So, a real hypercar from them doesn’t seem so crazy now.
Right now, though, the Vision Gran Turismo is just in the game. Xiaomi says the hypercar’s design is Sculpted by the Wind.
Basically, it’s got a smooth, raindrop shape and fancy air stuff to get lots of downforce without needing a giant wing.
A lot of the action happens under the car. Air flows through tunnels and out the back. Plus, there’s this cool halo taillight across the rear.
Xiaomi also says it has an Active Wake Control System that blows air to keep things smooth behind the car.
There are some neat touches too. The wheels have see-through covers that look like they’re not moving because of magnets.
Inside, instead of racing seats, there’s a sofa-like seat and a big screen like those new panoramic dashboards.
Xiaomi says they’re trying to get the right balance of low drag and high downforce, which gives you a peek at how they might do performance EVs in the future.
