The Aspark Owl (Japanese: アスパーク OWL) is an all-electric battery-powered sports car manufactured by Japanese engineering firm Aspark (アスパーク), under development since 2018, with the goal of making the fastest accelerating electric car. The OWL will be built by Manifattura Automobili Torino (MAT) in Italy and the firm has planned to have a production run of 50 vehicles, which will have a list price of €2.5 million per car. The OWL was publicly unveiled in concept form at the 2017 Frankfurt Auto Show.[2][3][4][5] Production version of the OWL was unveiled in November 2019 at the Dubai International Motor Show.[6]

The OWL has carbon fibre body work built around a carbon fibre monocoque chassis weighing 120 kg (265 lb). There is a stainless steel support structure incorporated in the roof to increase the strength of the bodywork. Changes to the bodywork from the concept include the addition of wing mirrors, an active rear wing and a redesigned rear glass. The car features a double wishbone suspension system with hydraulic dampers and torque vectoring for improved handling. Stopping power is handled by a carbon-ceramic braking system featuring 10-piston calipers in the front and 4-piston calipers at the rear.[6]

It has been claimed that the OWL can accelerate from 0-97 km/h (60 mph) in 1.69 seconds, 0-100 km/h (62 mph) in 1.9 seconds, 0-299 km/h (186 mph) in 10.6 seconds and can attain a top speed of 400 km/h (249 mph). This acceleration time makes it the fastest accelerating production car in the world.[7] However, at least some of these claims are most likely false, due to the physical limits of automobile acceleration imposed by the friction of tires with the road, and due to a lack of convincing video evidence.

The 69kWh battery pack was developed by Danecca Ltd, of Silverstone UK.[8]
