The invention relates to an ultrahigh-strength gas shielded welding wire and wire rod. The welding wire comprises the following chemical components, in percentage by mass, of 0.05%-0.15% of C, 0.65%-0.80% of Si, 1.7%-2.0% of Mn, less than or equal to 0.01% of S, less than or equal to 0.015% of P, 0.18%-0.28% of Cr, 1.4%-1.8% of Ni, 0.2%-0.6% of Mo, 0.10%-0.20% of Ti, 0.01%-0.05% of V, 0.007%-0.014% of N, and the balance Fe and inevitable impurities, and meanwhile, it is desirable to satisfy that Si/24+Mn/6+Ni/40+Cr/5+Mo/4=0.45%-0.55%, and Ti+6V+15N=0.3%-0.6%. According to the welding wire andthe wire rod, the yield strength of the weld metal of the welding wire is larger than or equal to 800 MPa, the tensile strength is larger than or equal to 900 MPa, the elongation A is larger than or equal to 18%, the impact energy Akv of -40 DEG C is larger than or equal to 50 J, and the welding performance and the crack resistance of the welding wire and the strong plasticity and toughness of theweld metal are both considered.
