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]

Technical specs

While GAC has not yet announced any specifications about the battery of the Aion Hyper SSR, it has announced that the car has a 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) time of 1.9 seconds and 1225 horsepower. 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

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.[4][3]
