GAC Aion is offering two versions of the Hyper SSR with a pre-sale starting price of RMB 1.286 million, with deliveries to begin in October next year.

A supercar with similar performance to GAC Aion's Hyper SSR is Tesla's Roadster, which was announced in 2017 but has not yet begun deliveries.

The Tesla Roadster is equipped with motors with 10,000 Nm of torque on wheels, a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 2.1 seconds and a top speed of 400 km/h.

In April, Tesla reopened accepting reservations for the Roadster in China and the US, after it stopped taking reservations for the $250,000 Founders Series model last December.
