Aspark Owl Debuted at Dubai Motor Show

Developed by the Japanese engineering company, Aspark, the Owl is touted as the world’s fastest accelerating all-electric hypercar that debuted recently at the Dubai Motor Show. It is also the first EV hypercar produced by Aspark. 

According to the company, the Aspark Owl can clock 96 kmph from standstill in just 1.69 seconds, while the same feat is achieved by Bugatti Chiron in 2.4 seconds and Tesla second-gen Roadster in 1.9 seconds. The Owl can travel to 300 kmph in 10.6 seconds before attaining its top speed of 400 kmph. 

The Aspark Owl comes with a set of four electric motors that run on an electrical system of 800V, powered by a 64 kWh lithium-ion battery pack. The motors generate a max power of 2,012 PS and peak torque of 2,000 Nm. Following NEDC regulations, the Owl can travel up to 450 km on a single charge. Its battery can be charged fully in about 40 minutes when connected to a charger with 44 kW output. The Owl comes with four different driving modes and an all-wheel torque vectoring system along with an additional setting for attaining max acceleration. 

Outside, the Owl gets a deployable rear wing, cameras instead of conventional OVRMs, yellow alloys and plenty of aerodynamic elements for the efficient flow of air. To minimize drag coefficient, the company has blessed the car with a unique shape, deserves applause for this commendable job. The car is made up of carbon-fibre, which weighs 180 kg. The dry weight of the car is, however, 1,900 kg due to several comforting components, battery and powertrain fittings. Dimension-wise, the Aspark Owl measures 4,791 mm long, 1,935 mm wide and 993 mm high. It sports a wheelbase of 2,750 mm. 

Inside, the Owl gets four display screens, an infotainment system, a reverse camera, ambient lighting system, a climate control system and keyless system. It offers a luggage capacity of just 50 litres and seating space for two occupants.

Other notable components of the hypercar are butterfly doors, double wishbone hydraulic suspension and carbon-ceramic disc brakes. The front discs come with 10-piston calipers while the rear ones get four-piston calipers. The suspension fitted on the car allows the driver to adjust the ride height from 80 mm to 160 mm. 

So far only 50 production units have been planned that will be developed in collaboration with Manifattura Automobili Torino at the Turin facility in Italy. To purchase the amazing Owl, you need to shell out 2.9 million euros (AED 1.1 billion approx).
