This is the Aion V, which will be the first model that GAC will introduce to Europe. It uses a 75.3kWh battery and gets a 521km WLTP range. Great rear passenger space too. Full review coming soon to https://t.co/orP9c7KZ7H

This is the Aion Hyptec HT, featuring some familiar Tesla Model X vibes with those doors. The front doors are also automatic, but in the traditional plane. Rear motor produces 340hp and 430Nm. It uses an 83.3kWh LFP battery.

Sampling some of the latest wares from @GAC_MOTOR. Let’s start with the Hyptec SSR. Fully electric supercar, generates 1,225hp and clocks 0-100km/h in 1.9 seconds.

Paid a visit to @GAC_MOTOR’s central R&D Centre to get a glimpse at what will be coming to Europe later this year, and some more secret stuff that’s in the pipeline.

You’ll be a while waiting for *that* Tesla Robotaxi to arrive. Meanwhile in Guangzhou, China…

Ah, the joys of classic car ownership
