The Aion Hyper SSR is an electric sports car to be produced by Chinese automobile manufacturer GAC Aion and sold under the Hyper premium EV brand beginning in 2023. When released, the Hyper SSR will be the first production 2-door coupe by GAC.
Overview[edit]
The Aion Hyper SSR was first previewed by the GAC Enpulse electric roadster concept, revealed at Auto China in Beijing in September 2020.[1]
On September 14, 2022, GAC revealed on Weibo that a new sports car and Aion brand logo would be revealed the following day at an event called GAC Aion Brand Day.[2] On the 15th, the Aion Hyper SSR was revealed wearing the Aion brand's new logo.[3]
The Aion Hyper SSR will have starting price of RMB 1.3 million (~US$186,000) while the Hyper SSR Ultimate model will start at RMB 1.7 million (US$244,000). Production and deliveries of the car began in October 2023.[3] As of March 2023, the production line is started, and some units of Hyper SSR were made.[4] In December 2023, GAC Aion launched the Hyper SSR in Thailand as Chinese-built left-hand drive version only.[5]
Specifications[edit]
Technical specs[edit]
While GAC has not yet announced any specifications about the battery of the Aion Hyper SSR, it has announced that the Hyper SSR Ultimate model has a 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) time of 1.9 seconds and 1225 horsepower. The standard Hyper SSR has a 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) time of 2.3 seconds.[6] The standard Hyper SSR uses a mid-motor, rear-wheel-drive layout while the Hyper SSR Ultimate has a mid-motor, four-wheel-drive layout.[3]
Design[edit]
The Aion Hyper SSR retains many design cues of the 2020 GAC Enpulse concept car, such as its scissor doors and a similar side profile. However, unlike the Enpulse, the Hyper SSR does not have convertible roof.[7][3]
