The latest car company invited to design a Vision Gran Turismo concept car\u2026 isn\u2019t actually a car company at all.<\/p>\n

Yep, this is the Xiaomi Vision Gran Turismo, and its makers are particularly proud of the fact that this is \u201cthe first time a technology company has been invited to join the elite Vision Gran Turismo project\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Of course, Xiaomi \u2013 which is the third largest smartphone maker in the world behind Samsung and Apple \u2013 does now make electric cars, but it only unveiled its SU7 saloon<\/a> for the first time in late 2023. Quite the rapid rise. And while the Vision Gran Turismo will only live in the virtual world, a future hypercar might not be completely out of the question given it already produces the 1,527bhp SU7 Ultra<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Anyway, to the concept. Xiaomi says that its swoopy, teardrop-shaped hypercar merges \u201ccutting-edge aerodynamics with AI-driven intelligence\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

We\u2019re told that the design philosophy was \u2018Sculpted by the Wind\u2019, and that the plan was to create something without a giant wing on the back but that still generated enough downforce.<\/p>\n

That means the underbody is doing most of the work, with giant channels funnelling virtual air towards the rear of the car. At the back there\u2019s a massive \u201chalo-shaped taillight\u201d, but also something called an \u2018Active Wake Control System\u2019 that seemingly uses a blast of air to push the turbulent air further away from the rear of the car.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The wheels are also pretty neat, with a semi-transparent cover that uses magnets to stay perfectly still while the wheel turns behind it. Oh, and the interior foregoes bucket seats in favour of a giant single piece sofa-style seat. Looks comfy, although the screen across the bottom of the dashboard has more than a hint of BMW\u2019s new Panoramic iDrive setup.<\/p>\n

\u201cXiaomi Vision Gran Turismo is not about chasing extremes on any single metric, but about delivering peak efficiency through perfectly balanced aerodynamics, reaching new heights in the balance between low drag and high downforce for electric hypercars,\u201d reads the press release.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe invitation itself was a recognition of what Xiaomi has achieved,\u201d said design boss Tianyuan Li. \u201cIt allowed our teams in Munich, Beijing, and Shanghai to collaborate, to push boundaries, and to envision what a future hypercar could look like when designed without limits.\u201d Like it?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
