The Hyper SSR's side profile features smooth lines, with the wheel arches housing Michelin high-performance racing tires sized at 245/35 R20 in the front and 305/30 R20 in the rear. These tires, paired with long-fiber carbon-ceramic brake discs, ensure not only high performance but also exceptional braking capabilities, contributing to excellent handling. The lower sections of the doors are designed with aerodynamic features, further improving the car's aerodynamic properties within the wheel wells.

Moving to the rear, the Hyper SSR is equipped with an electric wing that provides additional downforce to the rear of the car in various driving conditions (up to 100 kg of downforce at a speed of 250 km/h). The roof features a high-mounted brake light integrated with a rearview camera, creating a unique and functional design. The massive rear diffuser, also made of carbon fiber, efficiently channels airflow, increasing stability during extreme driving conditions.

The Hyper SSR offers six exterior color options: orange, white, silver, blue, green, and yellow. Its dimensions are 4,556mm in length, 1,988mm in width, 1,230mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,650mm and a curb weight of 1,990kg.

Inside the cabin, the Hyper SSR follows the minimalist design approach characteristic of supercars. The hexagonal racing-style steering wheel provides excellent grip, and the 8.8-inch LCD instrument cluster, along with the 14.6-inch multimedia display, caters to the owner's need for intelligent cabin functionality. The Hyper SSR also features multiple advanced technologies, including an AI trajectory tracking system, Driver First smart cockpit, and a flagship digital coach.

When it comes to power, the Hyper SSR is driven by a two-speed, four-in-one high-performance integrated electric motor system and a 900V electrical architecture, delivering a maximum power output of 1,225 horsepower at 22,000 rpm and a peak torque of 12,000 N·m on the wheels. This power enables the car to achieve a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of just 1.9 seconds. The vehicle features a full carbon fiber body and an all-aluminum frame, boasting a body torsional stiffness of 50,475 N·m per degree, along with GAC AION's proprietary Magazine Battery system.

As a supercar, the Hyper SSR is also equipped with an ELSD electronic limited-slip differential and R-EPS steering, applying the AICS intelligent chassis system to optimize dynamic balance, improve response speed, and achieve precise control during cornering on challenging tracks. The double-wishbone suspension design with all-aluminum construction and SDC intelligent variable damping absorbers not only provides stability in handling but also ensures comfort in daily driving.
