The Hyptec SSR was first previewed by the GAC Enpulse electric roadster concept, revealed at Auto China in Beijing in September 2020.[2]

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.[3] On the 15th, the Aion Hyper SSR was revealed wearing the Aion brand's new logo.[4]

The Hyptec 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.[4] As of March 2023, the production line is started, and some units of Hyper SSR were made.[5] In December 2023, GAC Aion launched the Hyper SSR in Thailand as Chinese-built left-hand drive version only.[6]
