Several of the more dazzling EV hypercar entries of the last year or so have come by way of the Far East.

So far, the charge toward production has been led by Chinese startup NextEV’s Nio division, which produced six examples of its EV9. The EV9 garnered a lot of attention in the press, helping to present the electric vehicle as a fashionable alternative to gasoline-powered transport while it helped to potentially assert China as a global leader in EV and autonomous passenger car design and sales in the next decade. The EV9’s compensations include a 265-mile range, over 1300 horsepower on tap, a top speed of 195 MPH, and a 0-62 time of 2.7 seconds.

This year at the Frankfurt Motor Show, Japanese startup Aspark presented its own EV hypercar concept: the Owl. The Owl’s 0-62 number would be unbelievable if the car were not sporting an all-electric or hybrid drivetrain: it can launch to 62 in 2.0 seconds. At less than 450 horsepower, the Owl’s power rating is modest for its class, but the car’s carbon-bodied design keeps the curb weight at a very trim 1,900 pounds. Like others of its ilk, it’s very F1-looking.

Speed is the name of the game for Aspark’s concept. The Owl doesn’t offer much of a range in its current iteration; batteries are heavy, and the company was shooting for the appeal of the fastest-of-the-fast out of the gate, so the drivetrain is powered by capacitors.

Precious little more is known about the Owl, other than speed and appearance. As for looks, it manages quite well, bringing an unusually fluid design to the table, and sitting very low: the car’s height measures just 39 inches.

Aspark intends to move the Owl into production by 2019. The price? About $4 million.
