Xiaomi has officially announced that its high-performance electric sedan, the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra, will debut in the PlayStation 5 racing simulator Gran Turismo 7—marking the first-ever Chinese car featured in the iconic video game franchise.
The partnership also includes plans to develop a Xiaomi Vision Gran Turismo concept car exclusively for the game, strengthening the brand’s global motorsport presence.
Developed by Polyphony Digital and produced by Kazunori Yamauchi, Gran Turismo is one of the world’s most influential racing simulators. Since its launch in 1997, the franchise has showcased over 1,000 vehicles and 50+ tracks, featuring automakers such as Ferrari, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Toyota. Now, Xiaomi joins that elite group.
Kazunori Yamauchi praised the collaboration, saying, “Xiaomi’s courage and innovation deeply resonate with the spirit of Gran Turismo. Their SU7 Ultra prototype’s Nürburgring record proves they are serious about performance and design.”
Xiaomi founder and CEO Lei Jun also expressed enthusiasm: “We share Mr. Yamauchi’s belief in technology as a force for good. Including the SU7 Ultra in Gran Turismo lets global players experience Chinese high-performance EVs firsthand.”
The Xiaomi SU7 Ultra stands as the brand’s flagship performance EV and symbolizes China’s rising automotive capabilities. Key specifications include:
In-house V8s motor reaching 27,200 rpm
Three-motor setup delivering 1,548 PS
Track-grade battery for sustained high-performance
Top speed exceeding 350 km/h
0–100 km/h in just 1.98 seconds
The SU7 Ultra has already set multiple lap records for four-door EVs across several circuits, underlining Xiaomi’s rapid progress since entering the automotive sector.
The collaboration mirrors past partnerships in the franchise, like Ferrari, Jaguar, and Suzuki Vision Gran Turismo models, and reinforces China’s growing cultural and technological footprint in global motorsports.
With the upcoming Xiaomi Vision Gran Turismo, the brand signals its ambition to shape the future of digital racing and real-world electric vehicle innovation.
