Electric hypercar does 0-60mph in 1.69sec, making it the “fastest accelerating car in the world”
Japanese manufacturer Aspark has revealed its debut hypercar, which claims to be “the fastest accelerating car in the world”.
The 1985bhp Owl, which made its public debut in Dubai this week, can achieve 0-60mph in 1.69sec - or around 0.6sec faster than a Tesla Model S P100D. This rapid acceleration is delivered by four permanent magnet motors, which generate approximately 1475lb ft of torque.
Originally announced as a concept at the 2017 Frankfurt motor show, the production version will gain an automatically-extending spoiler, digital cameras integrated into the wing mirrors, and an interior redesign which sees controls and switches moved to the ceiling.
Prices for the Owl will start from just under £2.5 million. Aspark will only produce 50 cars globally, with first deliveries beginning in mid 2020. Production is due to take place in Italy, in collaboration with Manifattura Automobili Torino.
