Aspark Owl EV, the remarkable Japanese hypercar, has made history by setting two electric car world records, as officially recognized by the Guinness World Records. This extraordinary Rp.46 billion electric marvel has triumphed in the categories of highest average speed over a distance of one-eighth mile (200 meters) and quarter mile (400 meters).
Record-Breaking Speed: The Aspark Owl astounded enthusiasts by achieving an astonishing average speed of 309.02 km/hour over the 200-meter distance, while also conquering the 400-meter stretch with an average speed of 318.85 km/hour. This remarkable feat has firmly established the Aspark Owl as one of the swiftest electric vehicles in existence, alongside the renowned Croatian Rimac Nevera.
Rimac Nevera: The Reigning Champion: Although the Aspark Owl dazzles with its exceptional speed, the title of the fastest electric car for the quarter mile remains in the hands of the Rimac Nevera, clocking in at an impressive time of 8.582 seconds. The Rimac Nevera also holds the record for the highest speed ever achieved by an electric car, reaching a remarkable 258 miles per hour or 415 km per hour.
European Debut at Elvington Airfield: The Aspark Owl created history at the renowned Straightliners event, held at Elvington Airfield in Yorkshire, UK. The event, overseen by the esteemed UK Timing Association, witnessed the Owl’s triumphant debut in front of a European audience. This momentous occasion marked the first public appearance of the Aspark Owl on the continent, following its initial showcase at the prestigious Salon Privé earlier this year.

Unrivaled Acceleration: Aspark Owl proudly claims the title of the world’s fastest accelerating car, achieving an astonishing sprint record of 0-60 miles per hour (96.5 km per hour) in a mind-boggling 1.72 seconds at the renowned Misano World Circuit. Its awe-inspiring power of 1985 bhp is generated by four electric motors, providing nearly twice the power of a Formula 1 car.
Breaking Barriers: The Aspark Owl possesses the potential to push the boundaries even further, aiming for an astounding 0-60 miles per hour in under 1.7 seconds. Should this ambitious goal be realized, it would cement the Owl’s status as the world’s fastest-accelerating production road car, outshining the Tesla Model S by shaving an impressive 0.6 seconds off its 0-60 time.
Exclusivity and Range: Limited to a production run of only 50 units, the Aspark Owl represents a rare gem in the automotive world. Unveiled in Dubai last year, this extraordinary hypercar boasts a unique battery pack that delivers an estimated range of up to 280 miles or 450.6 km, providing an ideal balance between power and endurance.
Unmatched Powertrain and Top Speed: The Aspark Owl’s four-motor powertrain is a true force to be reckoned with, generating a jaw-dropping 1475 lb ft of torque. Capable of rotating up to an astonishing 15,000 rpm, this automotive marvel achieves a top speed of 249 miles per hour or 400 km per hour, further solidifying its dominance in the world of electric hypercars.
Innovative Design for Performance: To ensure optimal performance, the Aspark Owl incorporates a 64 kWh lithium-ion battery pack with a significantly reduced capacity compared to competing electric hypercars like Rivian and Lotus. This reduction
