Xiaomi Vision Gran Turismo
The global debut of the Xiaomi Vision Gran Turismo, the 51st concept car in the Polyphony Digital franchise, presents as a full-scale model at the Xiaomi booth during the Mobile World Congress. Designed under the ''Sculpted by Wind'' philosophy, this electric hypercar study features a teardrop-shaped cockpit and a revolutionary Active Wake Control System with rear micro-perforations that manage airflow to achieve a drag coefficient of 0.29 Cx and an aerodynamic efficiency of 4.1. The concept utilizes a theoretical 900V Silicon Carbide (SiC) platform and an all-wheel-drive system with a projected output of 1,900 horsepower. Standout hardware includes the ''Accretion Rims'' with static magnetic covers that remain stationary while the wheels rotate to reduce turbulence. Inside, the ''Sofa Racer'' cabin integrates the ''Xiaomi Pulse'' AI assistant, which uses biometric sensors and the NVIDIA Thor automotive chip to adapt ambient lighting and haptic feedback to the driver's heart rate and stress levels during the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, on March 5, 2026.
