Yahoo Autos The Aspark Owl, dubbed the fastest accelerating car in the world, is now on sale
The Aspark Owl, a 1985-horsepower electric hypercar that has been dubbed the fastest accelerating car in the world, has gone on sale. A showroom opened in Aspark's hometown of Osaka, Japan yesterday, and they're taking orders from Europe and North America as well.
In October, the Owl set a claimed 0-60 time of 1.72 seconds during testing at Misano World Circuit in Italy. Though that time comes with an asterisk of a one-foot rollout, it should still obliterate anything in the next lane over. Previous tests of a prototype have alleged a 0-60 time of 1.87 seconds on race tires, but the latest time was clocked with street-legal Michelins.
Production will start with a limited run of 50 units, with 20 planned for Europe, 20 for Asia and the Middle East. That leaves 10 for North America, whose sales will be handled by The Gables Sports Cars, which at the time seems to be a used exotic car dealership in Miami, Florida.
