It has a drag coefficient of 0.19.
Being “the most X in the world” is something that many seek, but that only a few can achieve and, on many occasions, only for a short period of time. However brief the reign, you have to enjoy it, and that’s what the GAC Aion Hyper GT, which has become the most aerodynamic car in the world, is going to do.
Presented by the Chinese brand GAC Motor, it must be pointed out that it is the most aerodynamic production car in the world, since there are prototypes that surpass it, but it has much more merit to reach its figure in the case of a model that is going to be mass-produced .
The gran turismo has announced a coefficient of aerodynamic resistance of 0.19, a figure that cannot be matched by any other series model. Lowering the resistance is always something interesting for efficiency, but since we are talking about an electric car, even more, since it helps to extend its autonomy… although what it is has not yet been announced.
The Asian firm has been very sparing in details about the model, focusing on the most outstanding data, but leaving some questions in the air.
Regarding its mechanics, it has specified that it uses the AEP 3.0 EV platform, which will support variants with one and two engines, having specified that the first develops 340 CV and 434 Nm, and that it will have acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in about four seconds.
It has also been announced that it will be compatible with fast charges of up to 480 kW of power, but since the capacity of its battery is unknown, nothing is known about recharge times.
Another area in which the GAC Aion Hyper GT will stand out will be in autonomous driving, since the brand has provided it with numerous elements such as infrared sensors, radar, LiDAR and a camera so that it can function on its own in many circumstances.
The Chinese model will be the most aerodynamic car in the world (in production) for just a few months, until the Lightyear 0, a solar car with a drag coefficient of 0.175, hits the market.
