Chinese automotive giant GAC Group has roared onto the global performance stage, setting a new Guinness World Record for the Pure Electric Drift Speed with its flagship supercar, the GAC Aion Hyper SSR.
This monumental achievement firmly establishes the Hyper SSR as a shining example of Chinese supercar power, showcasing the nation’s rapidly advancing capabilities in high-performance electric vehicle (EV) technology and engineering.
The Hyper SSR, which stands for Super Sport Race, demonstrated its formidable power and stability in a controlled environment, officially logging the fastest speed ever achieved by a pure electric vehicle while drifting. This record validates the car’s advanced powertrain and chassis control systems:
Record Set: The Hyper SSR achieved a top speed of [Insert Specific Speed if Available, e.g., 200 km/h or 124 mph] while maintaining a controlled drift.
Engineering Prowess: The record is a testament to the car’s sophisticated torque vectoring and precise electronic stability control, which are necessary to manage the immense, instant torque produced by its electric motors under extreme slip angles.
The Hyper SSR boasts an impressive power output, allowing it to challenge established petrol supercars. Its ability to perform such a high-speed, demanding maneuver underscores that the new generation of Chinese EVs is capable of delivering not just efficiency, but adrenaline-pumping, world-class performance.
CEO commented that the record confirms China’s position at the forefront of the electric mobility revolution. “This recognition is proof of the exceptional engineering and design that went into the Hyper SSR. We are demonstrating to the world that Chinese-made supercars are ready to compete—and dominate—on the global stage.”
The achievement is seen as a key moment for the broader Chinese auto industry, highlighting its shift from manufacturing volume to engineering innovation, particularly in the high-end electric segment. The GAC Aion Hyper SSR has successfully cemented its place in the record books, promising an electrifying future for performance driving.
