The Aspark Owl (Japanese: アスパーク・アウル) is an all-electric battery-powered sports car manufactured by Japanese engineering firm Aspark (アスパーク), under development since 2018, with the goal of making the fastest accelerating electric car. It will be built by Manifattura Automobili Torino (MAT) in Italy. Aspark plans a production run of 50 vehicles, each with a list price of €2.5 million. The Owl was publicly unveiled in concept form at the 2017 Frankfurt Auto Show,[2][3][4][5] and the production version was unveiled in November 2019 at the Dubai International Motor Show.[6]
