Gran Turismo 7 update rolls out January 29 with China's Xiaomi SU7 Ultra

Polyphony Digital has confirmed that the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra will be added to Gran Turismo 7 with the update set to release on January 29, alongside a limited-time Monza lap-time challenge

Japanese video game development studio Polyphony Digital has announced that the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra electric car from the Chinese origin will be arriving in its popular racing simulation game Gran Turismo 7. The said car will be rolled out as part of the Gran Turismo 7 update 1.67 patch for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 players on January 29 at 11:30 am (IST). To celebrate the collaboration, a two-week official lap-time challenge will be held in Gran Turismo 7 on the Monza circuit. 

 

The collaboration between Xiaomi and Polyphony Digital was officially announced on June 7, 2025, and now it is finally coming to the game.

What is Gran Turismo 7

Gran Turismo 7 is a racing simulation video game, released in 2022, which was developed by Polyphony Digital and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. The game centres on circuit-based racing and car collection, combining traditional race events with the “GT Cafe” mode, which structures progression through themed challenges that introduce vehicles and manufacturers rather than a conventional narrative storyline.

 

The Gran Turismo series began in 1997 on the original PlayStation, created by Kazunori Yamauchi with a focus on realistic driving physics, licensed cars, and authentic track design. Gran Turismo 7 builds on that foundation with dynamic weather, day–night cycles, and a wide roster of real-world cars spanning road vehicles and race machines. Gameplay emphasises precision driving, tuning, and learning racing fundamentals, continuing the franchise’s long-standing position as a simulation-focused alternative to arcade-style racing games.

What is Xiaomi SU7 Ultra

Xiaomi defines the SU7 Ultra as a high-performance electric sedan that delivers supercar-level performance in a road-legal EV package. It is powered by Xiaomi’s in-house Dual V8s + V6s Hyper Tri-Motor system, producing a combined 1,548 horsepower and 1,770 N·m of torque, said Xiaomi. 

 

Paired with an 800V high-voltage platform, the SU7 Ultra is claimed to accelerate from 0–100 km/h in 1.98 seconds without one-foot rollout. Despite its performance focus, it offers a CLTC range of 630 km and supports fast charging from 10 to 80 per cent in just 11 minutes. It is possible that some of these traits or specifications might be reflected in the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra that will be made available to players in Gran Turismo 7.
