Xiaomi has unveiled a car that's wild even by its own standards. The Xiaomi Vision Gran Turismo is a vehicle engineered to exercise unprecedented control over the air flow running across the vehicle as it roars down the road.

Described as being "sculpted by the wind," Xiaomi said air flows through the car using a variety of wind tunnels and channels to make it more efficient.
