The Hoonigan Gymkhana formula is often imitated, but rarely so well. Chinese car company HYPTEC, owned by the GAC Group, is showing off its latest supercar, the HYPTEC SSR, in an extreme drift video called Up Drift.
Just as in the Gymkhana video series, a specific location and vehicle are featured in the video. For Up Drift, the location is Guangzhou, China, a port city northwest of Hong Kong, with a massive population of around 19 million people. It sprawls along the Pearl River, which is highly featured in the video.
The car featured is the HYPTEC SSR, which is Chinas first mass-produced supercar, and its electric. It launched in 2023 and can launch to 60 mph in under 2 seconds. It also holds the Guinness World Record for the highest pure electric vehicle drift speed, recently set in November, at 132 mph, and featured in the Up Drift video.
The Up Drift video is also called The Drift Stunt Show in Guangzhou and closely follows the Gymkhana formula. It has an iconic location, a unique and very high-performance car, proximity drifts, donuts around lots of objects, reverse entry drifts, tandem drifts, cameos, jumps, and so much more.
Worth a watch if you like seeing performance cars pushed to their absolute limit.
