GAC marketed the Hyper SSR as China’s first supercar. Here are its China launch versions, claimed acceleration, electric powertrain figures, and the later Hyptec name.

GAC AION unveiled the Hyper SSR in September 2022 and launched it in China on October 9, 2023. GAC promoted it as “China’s first supercar,” but the available evidence establishes that as the manufacturer’s positioning—not as a settled historical fact. The SSR is a high-performance, all-electric sports car, offered at launch in three versions.

Is the Hyper SSR really China’s first supercar?

“China’s first supercar” is GAC’s claim, not an independently established milestone. The phrase also depends on what counts as a supercar; there is no single objective threshold in the cited material. GAC’s official 2022 announcement used the promotional description “China’s first supercar,” while the company’s 2023 annual report described the Hyper SSR as a “pure-electric supercar.”

What is clear is the timeline: GAC AION introduced the Hyper brand and unveiled the SSR on September 15, 2022, then put the car on sale in China on October 9, 2023. GAC’s announcement and 2023 annual report document that launch context.

How fast is the GAC Hyper SSR?

At the October 2023 China launch, reported 0–100 km/h acceleration was 2.3 seconds for the standard Hyper SSR and 1.9 seconds for both Sprint and Ultimate. These are manufacturer specifications reported by CnEVPost, not independent test results established here.

The launch coverage described the car as having three electric motors and a 900-volt platform, and reported maximum power of more than 900 kW. A 2024 CarNewsChina report gave combined power as 900 kW. The later report also listed a 251 km/h top speed and a 74.69 kWh battery.

That 2024 report gave the SSR a range of up to 506 km on China’s CLTC test cycle. CLTC is a standardized test-cycle figure; it should not be read as a guarantee of the distance a particular driver will cover in real-world conditions.

What were the Hyper SSR versions and prices?

These were the China launch prices reported on October 9, 2023, not confirmed 2026 prices. The acceleration figures are reported launch-era specifications.

Version China launch price Claimed 0–100 km/h
Hyper SSR RMB 1,286,000 2.3 seconds
Hyper SSR Sprint RMB 1,386,000 1.9 seconds
Hyper SSR Ultimate RMB 1,686,000 1.9 seconds

The published figures establish differences in price and claimed acceleration: the base version is slower to 100 km/h, while Sprint and Ultimate share the same reported time. The cited launch coverage does not provide a full trim-by-trim equipment list, so it does not support a detailed comparison of other features. CnEVPost reported the launch prices and acceleration figures.

Why is the car also called Hyptec SSR?

Hyper was the name used around the SSR’s 2022 unveiling and 2023 China launch. In 2024, GAC’s premium brand adopted the English name Hyptec. CarNewsChina reported that export-bound SSRs had rolled off the production line and described the export version then available as left-hand drive. Its report discussed plans to expand sales into additional regions; plans reported in 2024 do not establish current availability in any specific country.

Accordingly, Hyper SSR is the name that fits the car’s unveiling and China launch, while Hyptec SSR reflects the later brand name. The 2024 name and export context are covered in CarNewsChina’s report.

Can you buy the Hyptec SSR outside China?

The cited coverage establishes a China launch in October 2023 and reports export preparations in 2024, but it does not confirm current retail availability, prices, or import status by country. A prospective buyer should verify availability, homologation, warranty coverage, servicing, and the final delivered price with an authorized seller in their market rather than assuming that an export announcement means local sales have begun.
