Aspark Owl reaches 318 km / h at 400 meters: electric hypercar records May 30, 2023 0

Quarter mile at 198 miles per hour. Or, if you prefer, a little over 400 meters at a speed of over 318 kilometers per hour. what fromElectric hypercar Aspark Owl this is a record in the truest sense of the word, so much so that it entered the Guinness Book of Records. Indeed, to be precise, two records have been broken: average speed more than one-eighth of a mile (201 meters) and more than a quarter of a mile.

Here are the results achieved by the Japanese car at Elvington Airport in England:

• 1/8 mile (201 meters): speed 309.02 km/h. average
• 1/4 mile (402 meters): speed 318.85 km/h average (8.73 seconds)

In practice, the two speeds achieved at the eighth and quarter mile are very close: this is a demonstration of how much initial acceleration occurs in a very short time (0–60 mph (0–96 km/h) in 1.72 seconds) until the car reaches its maximum speed 413 kilometers per hour.

Aspark Owl was built in just 50 copies for 2.9 million euros each and has been on sale since 2021. It is powered by a 69 kWh battery that guarantees up to 400 km of NEDC autonomy (in practice, therefore, it will be lower). There are even four electric motors capable of providing a total 1456 kW (1980 hp) with a torque of 2000 Nm.
