Japanese electric supercar promises 0-60 in under 2 seconds

Aspark will debut its all-electric supercar, dubbed the Owl, at the 2017 Frankfurt auto show, and the company says it's aiming for a 0-to-60-mph time of less than 2 seconds. If the Aspark Owl is able to accomplish such a feat, it would become the quickest production car ever. Like most start-up companies, Aspark looks to be quite some time away from reaching production. Video from Japanese website Gigazine shows the Owl undergoing performance tests, though all that's visible is a structure, the powertrains, and four tires.

Other than the video, not much else is known about the battery pack or electric motor. The Aspark Owl does sport an electric motor on the front axle, which means it's running all-wheel drive. We also don't know what kind of production timeline Aspark may be targeting.
