See Aspark Owl EV Set Two New Speed Records At Almost 200 MPH
The fully electric Japanese hypercar had the fastest-ever recorded average speed for an EV over the eighth and quarter mile.

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.

The Owl uses a 64 kWh battery pack to get about 250 miles of driving range, and it only takes about 40 minutes to recharge.

Interestingly, even though the Owl set the record for the fastest average speed over the quarter mile, the Rimac Nevera still holds the record as the quickest production EV in the quarter-mile run, which it pulled off in just 8.582 seconds. The Nevera also holds the record for the highest top speed ever recorded for an EV, at 258 mph.
