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]
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.[3] As of March 2023, the production line is started, and some units of Hyper SSR were made.[4] In December 2023, GAC Aion launched the Hyper SSR in Thailand as Chinese-built left-hand drive version only.[5]

While GAC has not yet announced any specifications about the battery of the Aion Hyper SSR, it has announced that the Hyper SSR Ultimate model has a 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) time of 1.9 seconds and 1225 horsepower. The standard Hyper SSR has a 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) time of 2.3 seconds.[6] 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]

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.[7][3]
