The Hyptec SSR or previously 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. The Hyper SSR will be the first production 2-door supercar by GAC.
In August 2024, GAC Aion announced to rename the Hyper brand's English name to Hyptec.[1]
The Hyptec SSR was first previewed by the GAC Enpulse electric roadster concept, revealed at Auto China in Beijing in September 2020.[2]
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.[3] On the 15th, the Aion Hyper SSR was revealed wearing the Aion brand's new logo.[4]
The Hyptec 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.[4] As of March 2023, the production line is started, and some units of Hyper SSR were made.[5] In December 2023, GAC Aion launched the Hyper SSR in Thailand as Chinese-built left-hand drive version only.[6]
The Hyptec SSR Ultimate Track model has a time of 1.9 seconds while standard Hyper SSR has a time of 2.3 seconds.[7] 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.[4]

The Hyptec 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.[9] [4]
