The Owl can spread its wings over a distance of up to 280 miles.
The Aspark Owl, a Japanese electric hypercar, is finally here after years. It can travel 60 mph (96 km/h) in 1.69 seconds. Four electric motors produce 1,985 horsepower (1.480 kilowatts), and 1,475 pounds (2,000 Newton-meters), respectively. Aspark claims that the Owl has world-beating performance specs. Aspark claims that the Owl can reach speeds of 249 mph (400 km/h). A run from a stop point to 186mph (300 km/h) takes only 10.6 seconds. A 64-kilowatt hour lithium-ion battery provides a range of 280 miles (450 km) according to the NEDC test. Aspark claims that the battery will be upgraded in the near future.
Aspark wanted the Owl’s exterior portray a feminine look. The body is a mixture of smooth curves and taut creases. The panels are made of carbon fiber reinforced plastic. A stainless steel roof frame provides additional support. The total height of the machine is only 38.9764 inches (99 cm). The monocoque made of carbon-fiber and weighs only 265 pounds (120 kg) under the skin.
The long lead up to the arrival of the Owl:
At each corner, the Owl rides on a double wishbone suspension. There are three types of hydraulic dampers that provide ground clearance between 3.15 inches (80mm) and 6.29 inches (160mm). The hypercar is slowed down by carbon-ceramic brake discs that have 10-piston calipers in the front and 4-piston stoppers in the back.
Aspark does not provide a clear view of the Owl’s interior. Four displays are located inside. Two of them serve as screens for rear-facing cameras, which integrate into the side mirrors. Aspark will only make 50 Owls at EUR2.9 million (current exchange rates: $3.2 million). Deliveries are expected to begin in 2020’s second quarter.
