- The Aspark Owl Roadster makes 1456kW from four electric motors and gets to 300km/h in 9.74 seconds.
- Carbon monocoque chassis, active aerodynamics and adjustable suspension support a 1900 kg kerb weight.
- Aspark plans around 20 units, with pricing expected to exceed US$3.5 million (NZ$6.1 million).
The Aspark Owl has always lived on the far edge of electric hypercar absurdity, so removing its roof feels almost inevitable.
The new Owl Roadster arrives as a topless thrill machine with the same four-motor powertrain as the coupe, the same surreal performance numbers, and a price tag that only the upper crust of EV collectors will ever entertain.
Four motors, no roof, all wild
Aspark calls it the world’s quickest electric roadster, and the figures certainly read like a physics mid-boss.
The Roadster produces about 1456kW and a colossal 1416Nm of torque. The brand quotes a 0 to 100 km/h time of 1.78 seconds, 0 to 200 km/h in 4.76 seconds and a brutal 0 to 300 km/h run of 9.74 seconds.
Theoretical top speed is 413km/h, though it’s electronically capped to 350km/h for road use.
Output comes from four independent electric motors fed by a 69kWh battery, all wrapped in a carbon monocoque chassis. Even with the open top and substantial hardware, the Roadster weighs just 1900 kg - svelte by hyper-EV standards.
Aero tricks and track-grade hardware
Double-wishbone suspension and active ride-height adjustment (80 to 160mm) sit underneath the sculpted carbon shell, supported by carbon-ceramic brakes with 10-piston front calipers.
Active aero, including an adjustable rear wing, aims to keep things stable at speeds most drivers will only ever experience on a loading screen. A full suite of drive modes, from Snow to full attack, rounds out the mechanical wizardry.
Rarer than reason
Only around 20 examples are planned, and while Aspark hasn’t confirmed pricing, DRIVEN Car Guide understands the Roadster will exceed NZ$6 million. That makes it one of the priciest EVs ever offered, topping even the Lotus Evija’s US$2.3 million (NZ$4 million) sticker.
Aspark says the open-roof setup is about more than drama. The Roadster is meant to make drivers “one with the road,” with heightened exposure to sound, airflow and vibration - essentially the full sensory overload package.
Whether it becomes a collector’s darling or a high-voltage footnote, the Owl Roadster proves one thing: electric hypercars have started shouting from the rooftops.
