talks about how the Owl churns out more than 2,000 horsepower. It’s quite necessary for the car’s incredible acceleration.
Aspark, a Japanese company launched in 2005, has the goal to create the fastest accelerating electric car ever. Supposedly, the Owl can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 1.72 seconds.
