The electric hypercar market continues to push boundaries, and the latest entrant, the Aspark Owl Roadster, has arrived to claim the title of the quickest electric convertible ever made. This limited-production vehicle joins an exclusive club alongside the Lotus Evija, Pininfarina Battista, and Rimac Nevera, representing a new era of extreme electric performance.
Unrivaled Performance
The Aspark Owl Roadster boasts a staggering 1,953 horsepower and a “theoretical” top speed of 257 mph (413 km/h). More impressively, it can accelerate from 0 to 186 mph (300 km/h) in under 10 seconds—numbers that rival the most aggressive hypercars on the planet.
The car’s four independent electric motors deliver instant torque, propelling it from 0–62 mph in just 1.78 seconds, 0–124 mph in 4.76 seconds, and 0–186 mph in 9.74 seconds. While slightly slower than the Rimac Nevera R’s 268-mph top speed, the Owl Roadster is electronically limited to 217 mph for road use. Despite its extreme power, the vehicle weighs a relatively modest 4,189 pounds (1,900 kg) thanks to extensive use of carbon fiber.
Engineering and Design
The Owl Roadster’s foundation lies in a carbon monocoque chassis paired with adjustable double-wishbone suspension (ranging from 80–160 millimeters). Carbon-ceramic brakes with 10-piston front calipers provide stopping power, while active aerodynamics, including an adjustable rear wing, ensure stability at high speeds. Multiple driving modes cater to various conditions, from snow to aggressive performance settings.
“The open roof is central to the car’s identity… becoming ‘one with the road,’ with heightened awareness of sound, airflow, and vibration.”
The most striking feature is, of course, the open-top design. Aspark emphasizes that driving the Roadster delivers a uniquely immersive experience, enhancing engagement with the car and the environment.
Exclusivity and Price
The Aspark Owl Roadster is not for the average consumer; only around 20 units will be produced, each estimated to cost over $3.5 million (€3 million). This price places it among the most expensive EVs in the world, exceeding even the Lotus Evija’s $2.3 million price tag.
This extreme cost reflects the car’s rarity, advanced engineering, and position as a collector’s item. The Owl Roadster is a statement piece for ultra-wealthy enthusiasts who demand the pinnacle of electric performance.
The Aspark Owl Roadster is a striking example of how far electric hypercars have come in a short time. Its extreme performance, limited availability, and eye-watering price tag reinforce its place as one of the most exclusive and desirable vehicles on the market.
