When production of the Aion Hyper GT begins, it will have the lowest-ever wind resistance coefficient of any mass-production car at 0.19 cd. The GAC research and development team used aerodynamic design cues featured in previous concepts such as the GAC ENO.146 and TIME to achieve the low drag coefficient of the Hyper GT. [1]

While very minimal battery specifications for the Aion Hyper GT have been announced by GAC, the company has revealed that the single-motor version of the Hyper GT has an output of 250 kW and 434 Nm of torque, with a 0–100 km/h acceleration time of 4.9 seconds. The car is based on GAC's AEP 3.0 platform. [3]
