The world’s fastest electric car has been broken once again. This time, the Japanese electric hypercar, the Aspark Owl Roadster, holds the record, boasting nearly 2,000 hp. However, the record is still only on paper, based on the manufacturer’s promises.

The Owl Roadster’s design is based on a carbon fiber monocoque, with its bodywork constructed entirely of carbon fiber. It weighs 2,050 kg. It is powered by four electric motors, producing a combined output of 1,953 horsepower and 1,920 Nm of torque. According to New Atlas, all this power is achieved through a 69 kWh battery rated at 800 volts, providing an impressive power-to-weight ratio. The model’s top speed is 412 km/h.

According to the company, the concept car was developed to “transmit the driver a feeling of freedom when driving with the roof open.” The Owl Roadster inherits the striking exterior of the coupe version, and its interior, with two seats, is trimmed in Alcantara, a suede-like material, and carbon fiber. Falcon-wing doors open to the cockpit, where the driver can select one of four driving modes, including the intense High Boost. Since standard tires would not be able to handle such power, the car is equipped with specialized Michelin Pilot Sport Cup rubber. The range on a single charge is estimated at 250 km, with a quick charge from 20% to 80% taking just 45 minutes.

The Owl Roadster is expected to have a base price of around $3.5 million.
