Aspark Owl

There’s a new “world’s fastest EV” in town, and it’s a familiar name if you follow Electrek. Japanese car manufacturing and engineering firm Aspark has developed an upgraded version of its ultrafast (and ultra-expensive) OWL hypercar with the help of Italy’s Manifattura Automobili Torino and took the EV to the track where it clocked in at a top speed of nearly 439 km/h.

The Aspark Owl – easily one of the most expensive EVs ever built – has made its way over from its assembly lines in Italy to Japan, where the hypercar was originally conceived. Available in two different versions, this limited-production EV costs millions of dollars and will now be on display to Japanese consumers with deep pockets.

The Aspark Owl – an all-electric hypercar in development for eight years and quite easily the most expensive EV in the world to date – was recently spotted driving in Monaco. The company has announced its first two dealers ahead of its limited run production finally beginning.
