26 December 2022

GAC Aion, the new energy vehicle (NEV) division of GAC Group, is preparing to release the second model of the Hyper brand, which was first introduced in September. This model is expected to be available in 2023.

GAC Aion has released a series of concept photos for a new vehicle that will be sold under the Hyper GT brand. The company has also hinted that the vehicle will feature butterfly doors.

GAC Aion has announced that the Hyper GT will debut at the Guangzhou Auto Show on December 30. The vehicle will be built on GAC Aion's next-generation all-electric platform, known as AEP 3.0.

The Guangzhou Auto Show will take place from December 30, 2022 to January 8, 2023. The event was originally scheduled for November 18-27, but was postponed due to concerns about the COVID-19 pandemic.

GAC Aion introduced its new luxury brand, Hyper, and the Hyper SSR supercar on September 15. The Hyper SSR is the first model to be released under the Hyper brand.

GAC Aion is offering customers the option to purchase the Hyper SSR in two different configurations. The base model can reach speeds of up to 100 km/h in 2.3 seconds and is available for pre-sale at a cost of RMB 1.286 million (approximately $184,000).

In addition to the base model, GAC Aion also offers a version of the Hyper SSR called the Hyper SSR Ultimate. This model has a price tag of RMB 1.686 million and can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 1.9 seconds.

When it was first introduced, GAC Aion announced that the Hyper SSR would begin mass production and delivery in October of the following year, and claimed that it would have the fastest acceleration of any automobile in the world.

GAC Aion announced on December 22 that the Hyper SSR had successfully completed its first performance test in mid-December and was officially entering the production validation phase.

GAC Aion stated that the successful real-world performance test of the Hyper SSR marks the completion of the fundamental work on the development of the vehicle and brings it one step closer to mass production and distribution.

There have been spy photos of the Hyper GT, the second model to be released under the Hyper brand, circulating on social media, even though the Hyper SSR has not yet entered production. According to reports from regional media, the Hyper GT is expected to have a price of around 300,000 yuan (approximately $43,110).

According to local media outlet Jiemian, GAC Aion is working to accelerate the release of hyper-branded products and will have a separate sales channel for the brand.
