Xiaomi (小米) teases Vision GT two-door supercar, eyes MWC 2026 showcase and future play in ‘GT Racing 7’

Xiaomi puts a supercar on the global stage — and into a game

Xiaomi (小米) has unveiled the Vision GT, a two-door supercar concept that it plans to publicly showcase at Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2026. It has been reported that the digital version will also be driveable in “GT Racing 7” at a later date, according to Chinese tech outlet ITHome. A flashy prototype and a game tie-in? The consumer-electronics giant is leaning hard into spectacle as it builds out its nascent auto ambitions.

Why it matters

For Western readers: Xiaomi is one of China’s top smartphone makers and an increasingly aggressive player in connected hardware, from wearables to smart-home devices. It entered the electric vehicle race with the SU7 sedan, positioning cars as core to a unified device-and-software ecosystem. A Vision GT concept nods to the industry’s “virtual-to-real” marketing playbook, popularized by Vision-style show cars that live both on stands and in racing games. Why does a phone maker need a supercar? To signal engineering prowess and court global attention as it scales up in autos.

MWC 2026 and the gaming crossover

MWC, held annually in Barcelona, is the mobile industry’s most visible stage, drawing carriers, chipmakers, and consumer brands looking to make global headlines. Planting a halo car there extends Xiaomi’s brand beyond China’s borders and into a neutral, tech-forward venue. As for the game tie-in, ITHome reports the Vision GT will appear in “GT Racing 7”; the specific title has not been independently verified, and Xiaomi has not detailed platforms or release timing.

The geopolitical backdrop and what to watch

Chinese EVs and advanced consumer tech face heightened scrutiny in Europe and the United States, from subsidies probes to broader trade and technology controls. That makes high-profile, software-led showcases—and partnerships with global IP in gaming—all the more strategic for reach, even as supply chains and market access remain fluid. Key details to watch: whether Xiaomi discloses specs or production intent for Vision GT, confirms the exact game partnership and timing, and clarifies how the concept ties into its HyperOS ecosystem across phones, homes, and cars.
