AION HYPER SSR: Can China really produce a $100K+ Carbon Fibre EV SUPERCAR?

[@Darkmatter321]

I actually love the back a lot. All around a gorgeous car. Which I can't afford

[@stephen300o6]

No one knew who Pagani was, or Koenigsegg, or tesla even, legacy is going out of fashion.

[@fteoOpty64]

Each one of these had people with legacy racing pedigree doing the work. What teaching in China??!. What freaking tech?. You can't copy a race win!!. 😅

[@RayNLA]

@ I imagine he meant the “legacy”auto manufacturers. Meaning the household names that have been around a hundred years or more. Meaning that the old dinosaurs are going to become extinct soon!

[@kittyflier8338]

I wanna see this Hyper SSR go against U9, EP9 and SU7Ultra on a track.

[@tj_enju]

I think maybe its because petrolheads dont like hearing about electric cars and western universe does like hearing China things ...else this channel would be past million subs by now... I just hope mr elliot, you keep bringing these reviews in the new year..

[@CHIEF_420]

☝️

[@BiiYAAAA]

we cant get chinese products in the automotive here because of tariffs so nice to hear but will never actually see so it doesnt matter

[@Checkmate025]

Amazing looking car, front, back and side.

[@WlerickBigotOfficial]

2 tons for a sport coupe smaller than a Model 3 and with all that carbon fiber is insane.

[@cogniktive1147]

Aren’t the doors more scissor style than gull wings? Gull wing doors are like the Mercedes clsssic

[@aardvarkmindshank]

Correct.

[@concinnus]

They're neither; they're dihedral, aka butterfly.

[@melonmelon2848]

It's an odd car, I like odd car!

[@geertG550]

this car is in a league of its own!

[@naorl8866]

I really like this smooth design it look like a restomod of a Ferrari. And with this performance what more can you ask form an EV supercar

[@markbennett6658]

Less carbon fibre for a lower price, some colour, a better interior and they might be onto something. Not Elliot’s finest review stumbling over the power figure, incorrectly describing the doors and failing to really get it onto some open roads to give it some! China really need to do something in the EV world like Datsun did with the 240Z in the US in the 70s. The MG Cyberster isn’t it and neither is this but 🤞

[@toyotaprius79]

A Chinese electric Citroën 2CV would be a much bigger cause for celebration,hell even a Chinese Fiat 500 or Fiat Panda... no wait Geely already has. How come has Volvo not rebadged that thing for Europe?

[@urbanstrencan]

Now this car is awesome, looks soo good, from the front a little bit of Ferrari 457, and the side is last gen. Honda NSX.😍😍🤩🤩 This is sports car for me, lev it. Actually this is what next gen Honda NSX should be if its go electric ⚡⚡. Elliot great video keep up with amazing work bringing us videos like this 🤟😍😍🤟

[@AprezaRenaldy]

1:55 Western capitalists Has a negative value towards the china brand Especially (state-owned company) Where seeking maximum profit is not the main priority

[@AprezaRenaldy]

Great wall China

[@CHIEF_420]

🧂

[@JTM610]

I'm curious then, what is their main priority?

[@AprezaRenaldy]

@@JTM610 The purpose of China's state-owned enterprises (SOEs) is to maximize social welfare for the Chinese people. SOEs are expected to balance economic and non-economic goals to achieve this goal. Stabilizing public finance: SOEs allow the government to use their assets as collateral to issue debt or sell shares to balance budgets. Providing essential raw materials: SOEs dominate capital-intensive sectors like power, steel, chemicals, and machinery. Generating employment: SOEs account for two-thirds of urban employment. State-owned enterprises accounted for over 60% of China's market capitalization in 2019and estimates suggest that they generated about 23-28% of China's GDP in 2017 and employ between16% of the workforce. Ninety-one of these SOEs belong to the 2020 Fortune Global 500 companies. In total China have 867,000 enterprises have a degree of state ownership. ( at the central government, provincial government, city and village government levels)

1200HP 😮 HECK YA ,,,FOR UNDER 200K YES

[@johnsexton3841]

Despite having no place to drive this to its potential, I want it.

[@davidsentanu7836]

But those are not gullwing doors?

[@nizamahmed5073]

Dihedral

[@TurfSurf]

Exterior, beautiful. Interior, form over function.

[@ChromeFlakes]

The Aion SSR looks fantastic!

[@Khngsley]

Was I the only one waiting to see this on a track on this video?

[@peterjackson6228]

Is this their first attempt? if so, its very very good! I ado agree about the interior. Maybe they need to get a hyper-car/racing driver involved in the design stage? Talking of which, perhaps AION need to do a single-series race series? Perhaps team up with a games studio to audition potential racing drivers (bit like Nissan did with Sony Playstation and GrandTourismo).

[@notchit3542]

YangWang U9?

[@Khalistan_Zindabaddd]

Nope

[@TassieEV]

I hope those charging lights on the front aren't on when you're driving particularly at night could be really annoying to the driver & passenger. Those are scissor doors though not gull wing doors, the Mercedes SLS AMG Electric has gull wing doors as does the Model X (ignore the official marketing material for it 'Falcon Wing' aka "Gull Wing'). You are right though suspect the badge is the failing part of this car particularly at this price point when it's up against things like the Rimac Nevera as a start(different price but more well known globally).

[@ChromeFlakes]

The charging lights won’t be on while you’re driving; unless you have a really long extension cord. 😄

[@concinnus]

They're neither scissor (Lambo) nor gullwing; they're dihedral, aka butterfly.

[@stephenodonohue9876]

That's funny Richard, I thought the front was dull... and the back interesting. Go figure.

[@kindface]

Elliot, what's the diff between the Fully Charged Show and your channel here? I get very confused.

[@dimasjayapura7070]

Beautiful car, good job aion❤

[@senseihEnRY16]

I prefer this so much more than the Yangwang U9. If your super rich friend comes with a Rimac or a Bugatti, just tell 'em it's a bespoke 1 off from a fancy coach builder.

[@AJames-jr8kw]

I here Aion known for taxis and ride share cars. Perhaps GAC should have spun off a new bespoke brand. Hard to relate this to a $13600 Aion UT.

[@uck4298]

Yo dude. That's not called a gull wing door

[@aardvarkmindshank]

Doesn’t look dramatic enough for that money. Too understated. I prefer the YW U9 😊

[@topnews1007]

200 km on a single charge for 170,000 dollars 💸 I will definitely get one if it can get at least 475 km you definitely got yourself a buyer 😊😊😊😊

[@MrTonifumi]

How can you know if it handles well at slow speeds?

[@edwardfletcher7790]

05:50 "900 volts of power and 1200nm" huh ? Don't you check your videos before you upload Elliot ? Your camera person really needs to invest in a $100 Zhiyun gimbal. Couldn't use suction cups on the windscreen ?? 07:35 The fitting of door to windscreen trim has a 1cm alignment bump ! There's also huge gaps in all the interior trim visible on camera. So it's European performance, Chinese quality ??

[@brent9369]

Too bad I cant find a proper website where you can check one out and order it.

[@connclissmann6514]

Thanks, Elliot for this review. As they have been on the market for a while, what is the depreciation like?

[@eyip8697]

Aion is definitely a listed company. Listed on the HK stock exchange. Symbol GAC 2238. It is not state owned.

[@hanyang6053]

Better than BYD U9?

[@hieroglyph321]

Don't blame the finance team... if the design team can't design to a budget that works, the design team and/or CEO should be sacked 😂

I want one I am in Britain, I see Supercar Blodie had one fir auction in Dubia, but I can afford one.

[@SmartMart1658]

Stick a Ferrari badge on the front & rear and most people would think it was a Ferrari 😄🤣😂🙃😊The China made Polestar 1 hybrid was also carbon fibre bodied and was a rare limited production run of only 1500.

[@victorbarasa5839]

straight out of gta5

[@Neojhun]

Doesn't look like any legacy supercar brand at all. It heavily reminds me of the Qiantu K50 which was basically vaporware. Problem was that defunct brand and parent company had no scalable manufacturing capacity. This seems like a more realistic mature design by an established automaker.

[@macaron3141592653]

Genuinely curious how or when an owner of this car in the PRC would enjoy this or any sporty car in PRC without getting in trouble and losing social credit points. Do they just not enforce speed rules extra strictly or something?

[@YSKWatch]

1. social credit doesn't exist 2. speeding up usually the fine directly deducted from one's bank account (different for each city)

[@lagrangewei]

Western brainrot imagination of a world that doesn't exist is why they are in serious trouble.

[@hharry5315]

China’s credit score is just made up by Western media. As a Chinese, I don’t even know what it is.

Those are not gullwing doors, they're scissor doors. As a motoring journalist, how could you not know better?

How can Tesla beat these cars... he showed prototype sportcar and it gave ideas to the Chinese !!

[@wwllmcheng]

At this point china has the fastest electric train in the world n it's very stable there fore they can make the fastest EV cars in the world....BUT NOT COMBUSTION OR HYBRID CARS

[@lukasalves2161]

Electric sports cars are not fun, they can deliver good performance but for enthusiasts it is not enough. China should enter this market of combustion cars aimed at to the enthusiast public, compete with BMW's M family cars and super sports cars like the 911I believe in the Chinese ability to be competitive

[@mmafiemc]

Honda nsx

[@zexel802]

Looked like the private ground was a residential compound. Probably quite worn out cobble stones or similar. Understand the choice since a little sporty cornering in public road will raise attention instantly. It wouldn't surprise me if any possible speeding ticket would be directly deducted from the owners bank account by reading the license plate. And not to mention the impacct on the social score. Regardless, in addition to the well known formula one track Shanghai has a smaller racetrack for club racing. Would be a perfect place to let this machine stretch its legs.

Who buys a car from a country where there no safety regulations nor standards ?? They have zero safety regulations in their building industry and that goes for the car industry too.

[@AJames-jr8kw]

All Chinese cars imported into Australia have achieved 5 star A-NCAP safety ratings. The Jeep Avenger only got 3 stars. The Hyundai Kona 4 stars.

[@mohammadsattar5488]

@AJames-jr8kw so where were they built ? They can't have been built in China because they have absolutely no safety regulations because if they did build cars there and import them they would have to follow the laws for the respective countries ut their own domestic ca4s are catching fire, they issues with the lack of build quality and even the materials us3d are dodgy with some cars being made of tightly compressed cardboard and just the whole host of accidents caused by interference from the cars computers.
