- The very first production examples of the Aspark Owl, a record-breaking electric hypercar, is being offered through an online auction by SBX Cars.
- This electric beast boasts four electric motors producing a combined 1,985 hp and a staggering 0-60 mph time of 1.7 seconds.

The first example of Japan’s record-breaking Aspark Owl is heading to an online auction, allowing enthusiasts and collectors to own one of the most intriguing electric hypercars in the market.
Roughly seven years have passed since the unveiling of the Owl to the world. The boutique carmaker announced plans to produce 50 examples for customers, confirming last year that development had concluded and deliveries were imminent. While the exact number of deliveries remains unclear, prospective buyers placing orders now face a minimum one-year wait for delivery. Alternatively, they could bid on this Owl and take immediate possession.

The EV has been listed for sale through SBX, one of the latest entrants in the ever-expanding realm of website/YouTube channels transformed into auction houses, this one courtesy of Supercar Blondie. Limited information is available about this specific Owl, aside from mild cosmetic imperfections. Furthermore, there is no mention of its mileage.
Driving the Owl are four electric motors that combine for an extraordinary 1,985 hp and 1,475 lb-ft (2,000 Nm) of torque. These motors receive their juice from a 64 kWh battery pack. The car can hit 60 mph (96 km/h) in just 1.7 seconds and has a claimed top speed of 249 mph (400 km/h).
Given that the Owl comes from a startup, it looks to be relatively well-built and the cabin is surprisingly well-appointed. There are carbon fiber-backed racing seats clad in black and yellow leather, the car has Sparco racing harnesses, there is plenty of carbon fiber, a digital instrument cluster, digital mirrors, and a central infotainment display.
The online auction will launch on April 18 and you can place your bids over here.
