Xiaomi's Vision Gran Turismo car is set to join Gran Turismo 7 within October 2026 as part of the Spec IV update, where it arrives as the 36th brand in the Vision Gran Turismo project. Polyphony Digital head Kazunori Yamauchi and Xiaomi Auto's Jean-Arthur Madelaine confirmed the addition on stage at the Gran Turismo World Series 2026 round in Singapore on October 3.
Gran Turismo 7 is adding the Xiaomi Vision Gran Turismo within October 2026. Kazunori Yamauchi and Xiaomi Auto's Jean-Arthur Madelaine announced the car on stage at the Gran Turismo World Series 2026 round in Singapore on October 3, and the arrival is tied to the game's Spec IV update.
The announcement follows Xiaomi's September 12 appearance at IFA 2026 in Berlin, where a full-size model of the Xiaomi Vision Gran Turismo Concept was on display. At that show Xiaomi did not name an in-game date. The full-size model fit into the same booth as the Xiaomi 18 Fold, a foldable that closes to passport size and opens to a roughly 4:3 display, along with a smart home lineup.
Two details set the car's arrival apart from a standard content drop. It joins as the 36th brand in the Vision Gran Turismo project, which until now has been a manufacturers' program. The Spec IV update also adds an EV-only driving lesson using the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra. Polyphony Digital is pairing the Xiaomi car with EV instruction, treating electric driving as something the game has to teach rather than only sell.
The car has been positioned as a Xiaomi product since its first public appearance. IFA put the Vision Gran Turismo Concept alongside a folding phone and smart home lineup; the Singapore announcement put it inside Gran Turismo 7 with a specific update and a specific month.
