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 hit96 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 (US$ 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 99 cm in height.

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 machine against other hypercars such as the Bugattis and Koenigseggs of the world – and Rimac too, obviously.
