The GAC Aion Hyper SSR Is China's First Electric Supercar And It Can Do 0-60 In 1.9-Sec

Chinese automaker GAC Aion had a brand day today and the biggest news was the introduction of an all-new model, the Aion Hyper SSR. As the brand's, and arguably the country's, first-ever supercar, the all-electric two-door rocket on wheels has a claimed 0-60mph time of just 1.9 seconds. Here's everything prospective Chinese owners can expect when the GAC Aion begins deliveries in the country in late 2023. The GAC Aion is the group's EV-focused brand with many recent successes in China. The addition of a segment-shifting supercar is a game changer for the brand that previewed the Aion Hyper SSR through the Enpulse Concept back in 2020. Of course, it's not the speed, styling, or power that makes the Aion Hyper SSR so unique. The Rimac Nevera can also do 0-60 in 1.9 seconds and given a suitably sticky surface and a one-foot rollout, so can the four-door Tesla Model S. What's shocking about the all-electric Aion is that the brand says it'll cost 1.68M yuan or about $240,000. GAC Aion says that it'll also have a "Lever-type electronic shift mechanism".
