SSR
China's all-electric world-record supercar — 1,207 hp, three motors, and a 1.9-second century sprint. · 2 seats
REPRESENTATIVE PHOTOAndreas Maier / PexelsOur verdict
7.2 / 10The Hyptec SSR is GAC's audacious electric supercar — a 1,207 hp, tri-motor, two-seater coupe that set a Guinness World Record for the fastest standing-start acceleration by a production EV. With scissor doors, a carbon fibre body, and a 74.7 kWh battery delivering 506 km of CLTC range, it packages genuinely hypercar performance at a price expected to be far below Western European rivals. For the UAE, the SSR is a curiosity: Gargash Motors has officially launched the Hyptec brand but the SSR itself is not yet on sale, with a UAE launch anticipated for late 2026. Brand recognition, after-sales depth, and resale value are all significant unknowns in a segment dominated by Ferrari, Lamborghini, and McLaren.
Who it's for — Early-adopter buyers who want headline-grabbing EV performance at a fraction of Italian or British supercar prices, and are prepared to accept an unproven brand in a niche segment.
PROS
- +1,207 hp tri-motor AWD with a claimed 1.9-second 0-100 km/h — genuine hypercar performance
- +506 km CLTC range is extraordinary for a high-performance EV of this type
- +Carbon fibre body and scissor doors deliver supercar theatre
- +Expected to be significantly cheaper than European rivals with comparable power
- +Gargash Motors (established UAE group) is the distributor, providing some local confidence
CONS
- –Not yet on sale in the UAE — launch expected late 2026, subject to change
- –No confirmed UAE/GCC price; Chinese market price suggests AED 650K–800K but GCC premium unknown
- –Brand is effectively unknown in the UAE supercar market; resale value highly uncertain
- –After-sales and parts support infrastructure is nascent compared to Ferrari or McLaren
- –Top speed of 251 km/h is modest relative to the power output — likely electronically limited
- –Boot space is effectively nil for a track/show car of this nature
