The Xiaomi SU7 Ultra electric vehicle will soon be playable in Gran Turismo 7. This marks the first Chinese brand to be featured in the renowned video game. Xiaomi and Polyphony Digital (producer of the Gran Turismo 7 video game) announced the partnership at Round One of the Gran Turismo World Series 2025, a driving simulator competition that gathers the world’s best e-racers.
Under this collaboration, Xiaomi SU7 Ultra — Xiaomi EV’s top-of-the-line high-performance luxury electric vehicle — will debut in the globally acclaimed racing simulator Gran Turismo 7, for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 in a future update. This is the first Xiaomi model featured in the franchise. This won’t be the last, however. Xiaomi and Gran Turismo will further collaborate to develop the Xiaomi Vision Gran Turismo concept vehicle that will also be playable in the game.
The most popular driving game
Gran Turismo is widely recognized as one of the world’s most authentic driving simulators, with engineering parameters mirroring real-world performance. Its influence extends beyond gaming — driving innovation in vehicle dynamics and safety while uniting automotive enthusiasts globally. The inclusion of Xiaomi SU7 Ultra reflects the rise of smart high-performance EVs in the automotive industry.
A meeting of creators

This collaboration traces its roots back to May 2025, when Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yamauchi met with Xiaomi Group Founder, Chairman, and CEO, Lei Jun in Beijing. During the visit, Yamauchi conducted an immersive test drive of Xiaomi SU7 Ultra and toured Xiaomi’s EV factory in Yizhuang.
"We are delighted to begin this partnership with Xiaomi,” said Kazunori Yamauchi. “The Chinese automotive industry has progressed rapidly, and Xiaomi — a newly established player in the automotive sector — has already created an exceptional vehicle, Xiaomi SU7, as a pivotal part of its comprehensive smart ecosystem, which spans smartphones and wearables to home appliances.
“The Xiaomi SU7 Ultra Prototype has shattered conventional performance benchmarks at the Nürburgring. Witnessing these achievements, I am deeply moved by Xiaomi’s courage, curiosity, passion, and relentless dedication to realizing such milestones. This spirit resonates profoundly with Gran Turismo and Polyphony Digital’s philosophy."
"We deeply resonate with Mr. Yamauchi's visionary philosophy of building a better society through technology,” said Lei Jun. “This aligns perfectly with Xiaomi's mission to let everyone in the world enjoy a better life through accessible and innovative technology. Our shared values paved the way for this collaboration."
"Gran Turismo's worldwide reputation for uncompromising quality and experience makes us particularly honored to have Xiaomi SU7 Ultra included. We look forward to introducing more Gran Turismo players and automotive enthusiasts to the capabilities of high-performance smart EVs like ours."

The Xiaomi SU7 integrates proprietary innovations, including Xiaomi’s HyperEngine V8s (27,200 rpm; 578 PS; 635 N·m) — a self-developed tri-motor configuration system. With 1,548 PS, a top speed exceeding 350 km/h, and a maximum 0–100 km/h acceleration of 1.98 seconds, Xiaomi SU7 Ultra holds multiple track records for four-door vehicles. Xiaomi EV's R&D team rigorously tests technologies like torque vectoring and adaptive damping at circuits including the Nürburgring Nordschleife, ensuring real-world safety and handling excellence translate to the driving experience. Through relentless track validation, the team iteratively refines vehicle dynamics. Technologies proven on these professional circuits are systematically adapted for production, transferring true race-derived engineering to road vehicles.
