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. On the 15th, the Aion Hyper SSR was revealed wearing the Aion brand's new logo.

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. As of March 2023, the production line is started, and some units of Hyper SSR were made. In December 2023, GAC Aion launched the Hyper SSR in Thailand as Chinese-built left-hand drive version only.

Technical specs
The Hyper SSR Ultimate Track model has a 0-100 kph time of 1.9 seconds while standard Hyper SSR has a 0-100 kph time of 2.3 seconds. 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.

Design
