Design

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 Hyptec SSR does not have convertible roof.{{cite web|url=https://www.carscoops.com/2022/09/the-gac-aion-hyper-ssr-is-chinas-first-electric-supercar-and-it-can-do-0-60-in-1-9-sec/|title=The GAC Aion Hyper SSR Is China's First Electric Supercar And It Can Do 0-60 In 1.9-Sec|website=Carscoops|first=Stephen|last=Rivers|date=15 September 2022|accessdate=16 September 2022}}
