Gran Turismo and Xiaomi have officially joined forces. The collaboration was unveiled on 6 June 2025 during the GT World Series Round 1 in London, just before the Manufacturer’s Cup. The announcement came from Kazunori Yamauchi, creator of Gran Turismo, alongside Zhoucan Ren, Xiaomi’s Head of Vehicle Dynamics.
Xiaomi SU7 Ultra in Gran Turismo 7
Xiaomi’s flagship electric sedan, the SU7 Ultra, is officially joining the lineup in Gran Turismo 7, set to arrive in an upcoming game update. The announcement was made during the GT World Series event in London, with Kazunori Yamauchi of Polyphony Digital and Zhoucan Ren, Head of Vehicle Dynamics at Xiaomi, leading the reveal.
The SU7 Ultra is a performance powerhouse. Featuring a 1,500 hp (1,138 kW) electric powertrain, it boasts a top speed of 350 km/h and accelerates from 0–100 km/h in just 1.98 seconds. These specs make it one of the fastest four-door EVs in the world. Most notably, the SU7 Ultra holds a record-breaking lap time of 6:46.874 for production EVs at the Nürburgring Nordschleife.
Players on both PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 will soon be able to experience the car’s high-speed capabilities and dynamic handling in-game. The integration of the SU7 Ultra into GT7 reflects Gran Turismo’s commitment to realism, cutting-edge technology, and the evolving landscape of high-performance electric vehicles.
Xiaomi Vision Gran Turismo Concept In Development
Alongside the production SU7 Ultra, Xiaomi and Polyphony Digital are also collaborating on a Vision Gran Turismo concept car. While details remain under wraps, this futuristic virtual prototype is being developed specifically for Gran Turismo and is expected to appear in a future update.
The Vision GT program is known for pushing the boundaries of automotive design and digital performance. Xiaomi’s entry into this elite group marks an important step for the brand, showcasing its innovation and ambition in the virtual motorsport space.
Both the SU7 Ultra and the upcoming Vision Gran Turismo concept represent a new era of collaboration between consumer tech and gaming, bringing cutting-edge electric mobility into the hands of players worldwide.
While some players may feel the game needs more GT3 cars rather than electric additions, this is still a cool new entry. It adds variety and opens up possibilities for future updates. Most likely, the SU7 will appear in one of the next updates.
