Aspark’s 2,012 PS Owl EV Hypercar Ready For Customer Deliveries

Japan’s Aspark Owl EV hypercar made its public debut in production spec last year, and is now finally ready to enter markets this fall with a limited series of 50 units worldwide.

Designed with the aid of Manifattura Automobili Torino, the Owl aced a series of tests over the summer at Misano World Circuit, where it managed to hit 60 mph (96 km/h) in just 1.72 seconds while wearing Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 road legal tires.

The fully-electric Owl costs 2,900,000 euros ($3.43 million) and according to the Japanese startup, is not just the world’s fastest accelerating car, but also probably the lowest road legal EV hypercar out there, measuring just 38.9 inches (99 cm) in height.

“It’s a great honor for Aspark to be the first to announce this achievement, reached in a record time. When we first announced this project, no one believed it could have been done: it is true that we do not have a long history, but we are now completing what is the first Japanese Electric hypercar.  A proof of our vision, skills and engineering capabilities. This is what we do at Aspark: thinking outside the box and explore new, unchallenged territories, no matter the circumstances,” said Aspark CEO Mr. Yoshida.

“We are really looking forward to delivering the Owl to our first customers: they will experience a completely different level of driving and acceleration. We have committed even more resources and engineers into the project, and Aspark will go the extra mile, from now on, to keep growing and delivering incredible machines and products to customers all over the world.”

As the first customer cars are now ready to roll off the assembly line, all we can do is look forward to somebody pitting this 2,012 PS (1,984 HP) machine against other hypercars such as the Bugattis and Koenigseggs of the world – and Rimac too, obviously.
