Electric hypercars are challenging the dominance of traditional Italian and German supercars, pushing performance boundaries to unprecedented levels. Models such as the Yangwang U9, Lotus Evija, Pininfarina Battista, and Rimac Nevera have established this new elite class of automotive marvels.
Joining this exclusive realm is the Aspark Owl Roadster, an extraordinary open-top electric hypercar from Japan. This remarkable machine asserts itself at the forefront of automotive innovation, combining breathtaking speed with cutting-edge engineering.
Powered by four independent electric motors, the Aspark Owl Roadster delivers an astonishing 1,953 horsepower and 1,920 Nm of torque instantly available at the press of the accelerator.
This power translates into phenomenal acceleration: the Owl reaches 100 km/h in a mere 1.78 seconds and surges beyond 300 km/h in just 9.74 seconds. While slightly edging out the Rimac Nevera on the 0-100 km/h sprint, the Owl trails by about half a second in the 0-300 km/h run. Its roofless design distinguishes it as the fastest electric roadster globally, rivaled only by models like the MG Cyberster and, more speculatively, the unique Pininfarina Barchetta B95.
The Owl’s theoretical top speed reaches an impressive 413 km/h, although electronically limited to 350 km/h for standard road use. Despite this cap, the velocity is enough to render the surroundings a blur. While Aspark boldly refrains from acknowledging the more powerful 3,000-horsepower Yangwang U9 Xtreme, and the Rimac Nevera R holds the official top speed record at 431 km/h, the Owl Roadster focuses on maximizing explosive acceleration combined with the unique open-air driving thrill.
Structurally, the Owl shares its foundation with the closed-cockpit Aspark Owl, featuring a carbon monocoque chassis that ensures both lightness and rigidity. Equipped with a substantial 69.0-kWh battery pack, the Roadster’s total weight remains a relatively light 1,900 kg.
Handling is enhanced by a specialized double-wishbone suspension system, allowing adjustable ride height between 80 mm and 160 mm, adaptable for both track performance and comfortable driving. Braking is managed by carbon-ceramic discs paired with formidable 10-piston calipers up front, essential for controlling nearly 2,000 horsepower.
Active aerodynamics, including an adjustable rear wing, contribute to high-speed stability. Drivers can select from multiple driving modes, ranging from a cautious Snow Mode to aggressively tuned settings focused solely on performance. The open roof design intensifies the connection between driver and machine, delivering an immersive experience of sound, vibration, and wind—confirming that electric does not mean silent in the thrill of driving.
Owning such an extraordinary vehicle comes at a staggering price. Although not officially disclosed, estimates place the base cost of the Aspark Owl Roadster well above €2.99 million, making it one of the most expensive electric hypercars ever built.
Production is limited to just about 20 units, ensuring the Owl Roadster’s status as an ultra-rare collector’s item meant for only the most passionate and affluent enthusiasts. For those who desire extreme speed under an open sky, the Aspark Owl Roadster offers a unique blend of performance, exclusivity, and exhilaration.
