FROM RECORD TOP SPEEDS TO RECORD SPRINTS: HOW THE OWL ROADSTER REDEFINES ELECTRIC PERFORMANCE
The Aspark Owl Roadster is the open-roof variant of Japan's most extreme electric hypercar, a quad-motor, 1,953 hp machine capable of a 1.72-second 0-60 mph sprint and a claimed 256 mph (412 km/h) top speed. Limited to just 20 examples, built in Italy, and priced at approximately $3.5 million each, the Owl Roadster shifts Aspark's bragging rights from the coupe's record top speed to an acceleration figure that makes it arguably the fastest road-legal production car to 60 mph ever built.
How the Owl Roadster Achieves 1.72 Seconds to 60 mph
The performance foundation is a 69 kWh, 800-volt battery pack feeding four electric motors producing a combined 1,953 hp and 1,416 lb-ft (1,920 Nm) of torque. At 2,050 kg (4,519 lb), the Owl Roadster is not light by hypercar standards, but the power-to-weight ratio is extraordinary: every kilogram has roughly 0.95 hp pushing it. The 800-volt architecture enables the power delivery needed for that 1.72-second 0-60 mph sprint, a figure that no road-legal production car with a combustion engine can match, and that outpaces even the original Rimac Nevera in the sprint benchmark. Range is estimated at around 155 miles (250 km), with DC fast charging from 20% to 80% in approximately 45 minutes.
Design: Carbon Monocoque, Falcon Wing Doors, Alcantara Interior
The Owl Roadster's bodywork is full carbon fiber over a carbon monocoque chassis. The open-roof design does not compromise the low, flowing silhouette of the original Owl coupe: the same curvaceous front end and low roofline are retained, but the roof section is removed to fulfill Aspark's stated mission of delivering "freedom and the joy of driving with the top down." Falcon wing doors open upward and outward, turning every entry into a moment of theater at rest or in any paddock. The two-seat interior is trimmed in Alcantara and exposed carbon fiber, with an emergency soft top available for weather protection. The materials and detailing place the Owl Roadster firmly in hypercar territory: nothing is borrowed from a production car below this tier.
Aspark Owl's Record History and the Roadster's Place in It
The original Aspark Owl coupe was briefly recognized as the fastest electric production car in the world, recording a top speed of 272.7 mph (438.73 km/h) before being surpassed by subsequent challengers. The Owl Roadster builds on that record-setting legacy by pursuing a different metric: the 0-60 mph sprint benchmark. While track-only machines such as the McMurtry Speirling post quicker numbers, they are not road-legal. Among cars that can be registered and driven on public roads, the Owl Roadster's 1.72-second figure stands in a category of one. Production takes place in Italy, with delivery to just 20 customers worldwide.
