Xiaomi SU7 Ultra is the company's performance-focused EV
Xiaomi is joining hands with Japanese video game development studio Polyphony Digital to bring the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra to Gran Turismo 7, the company announced during Round One of the Gran Turismo World Series 2025 on Saturday. The high-performance luxury electric vehicle (EV) will be the first offering from the automotive arm of the China-based conglomerate to be featured in the racing simulator franchise, which is available on both PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 systems.
Xiaomi says its SU7 Ultra EV will be integrated into Gran Turismo 7 through a co-development process. It will authentically replicate the EV's driving dynamics as well as luxury aesthetics. This follows Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yamauchi's visit to the Xiaomi factory last month, where they met with Xiaomi Group Founder, Chairman and CEO Lei Jun, toured the EV factory, and test-drove the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra.
