You may have heard of the Aspark Owl before. It's a fully electric hypercar produced in Japan, and it just set two EV speed records this week, with top speeds just shy of 200 MPH.
Aspark says the quad-motor 1,980-horsepower Owl – which also has a commanding 1,475 pound-feet of torque – is capable of rocketing from zero to 60 mph in just 1.72 seconds, which is quicker than the Tesla Model S Plaid and Rimac Nevera. The Nevera just set at least 23 new records, including a 1.74-second zero-to-60 mph sprint. The Owl has a top speed of 260 mph.
