Xiaomi SU7 comes to Gran Turismo world
Xiaomi’s SU7 coming to Gran Turismo isn’t a complete surprise. In June last year, a collaboration between Xiaomi and Polyphony Digital was announced. According to reports, Gran Turismo producer Kazunori Yamauchi test drove the car at multiple real-world circuits, including the Nürburgring Nordschleife and Tsukuba Circuit, while Xiaomi’s vehicle dynamics team worked closely with Polyphony Digital to fine-tune the in-game model. The goal was simple but demanding: ensure the digital SU7 Ultra behaves as close to the real car as possible.
In the real world, the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra sits at the top of Xiaomi’s EV lineup. It uses the company’s in-house Hyper Tri-Motor setup, producing 1,548 horsepower and 1,770 Nm of torque, with a claimed 0 to 100 km/h time of 1.98 seconds. The car also made headlines in 2025 after setting a 7:04.957 lap time at the Nürburgring Nordschleife, a record for electric executive vehicles.
What Update 1.67 adds beyond the SU7 Ultra
Update 1.67 is not just about Xiaomi. Alongside the SU7 Ultra, the update introduces the Hyundai Elantra N TC ’24 and the Porsche 911 GT3 R (992) ’22. Players also get new World Touring Car events at the Nürburgring Nordschleife, Spa-Francorchamps, and Mount Panorama, plus a new Extra Menu focused on Hyundai N models for high-level collectors. To mark Xiaomi’s arrival, Polyphony Digital is also hosting a two-week official lap time challenge at Monza using the SU7 Ultra.
