A high-performance concept car bearing Xiaomi-branded wheels was photographed being transported in Spain on Friday, days before the company’s scheduled appearance at the 2026 Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
Chinese automotive outlet Auto Home published spy shots on Friday showing a low-slung, wide-body vehicle with an aerodynamic silhouette, a large rear spoiler, and carbon-fiber side skirts, all concealed beneath a protective wrap.
The wheels carry the Xiaomi name.
The vehicle is Xiaomi‘s first Vision Gran Turismo concept — a design collaboration with Sony’s Polyphony Digital announced in July last year developed for the Gran Turismo racing videogame.
Auto Home reported the concept is expected to be formally unveiled during or around MWC, which runs March 2–5 in Barcelona.
The partnership was announced in June 2025, when Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yamauchi visited Beijing, toured Xiaomi‘s Yizhuang manufacturing facility, and test-drove the SU7 Ultra before the two sides formalized the collaboration.
As part of the deal, the SU7 Ultra became the first Chinese vehicle ever featured in the Gran Turismo franchise, with an in-game update going live in late January.
Xiaomi subsequently registered “Xiaomi Vision GT” copyrights in July 2025.
Vision Gran Turismo is a long-running program in which automakers design concept vehicles unconstrained by production engineering, cost, or regulation.
Past participants include Ferrari, Porsche, Lamborghini, and Bugatti with Xiaomi being the first Chinese automaker to join the group.
The concept’s appearance in Spain comes almost exactly one year after Xiaomi launched the SU7 Ultra — its 1,548-horsepower, tri-motor performance sedan — at MWC 2025 in Barcelona on February 27, 2025.
The model starts at 529,900 yuan ($77,300) and received more than 10,000 orders within two hours of opening sales.
Driven by Vincent Radermecker, a production SU7 Ultra subsequently set the Nürburgring Nordschleife record for a production electric vehicle in June 2025 with a 7:04.957 lap time, after a prototype ran 6:46.874 in October 2024.
Separately, Xiaomi announced earlier on Friday that it is creating a safety advisory committee following fatal crashes linked to its assisted driving software and malfunctions of electronic door handles during accidents.
