Back in September of 2017, Japanese EV startup Aspark revealed their ‘Owl’ hypercar, an F1-inspired EV that used capacitors instead of batteries.

The Owl’s creators weren’t interested in delivering an ecologically relevant hypercar with an impressive range or charging time. What they were interested in is delivering a hypercar with a terrifying launch speed: the Owl, said Aspark, could hit 62 MPH in less than 2 seconds. And they promised it would enter production in 2019.

Fast forward to 2019, and Aspark is back with the news that their first Owls will meet their buyers in the spring of next year. The weight has increased since 2017, but so has the power—the Owl’s quartet of permanent magnet synchronous motors, each dedicated to a wheel, collectively produce 1,985 horsepower.

The intervening years have also bested the impressive 2017 launch time. Aspark tells us that the Owl can hit 60 MPH from a standstill in an astonishing 1.69 seconds. The production version loses the capacitors, though; the Owl you may spy flying down the road will be outfitted with a 64-kWh battery. It can give a driver 280 miles before needing a recharge. A 100% recharge, by the way, can be accomplished in 80 minutes.

The Owl has also become something of a luxury car since it first appeared, and will feature creature comforts including ambient lighting and cargo space generous enough to give it touring potential. It is being put together in Italy, by Manifattura Automobili Torino.
