    Aspark Owl Electric Hypercar Did 0 to 100 KM/H In Under 2 Seconds

    Last we spoke of the Aspark Owl electric hypercar, it was about to be showcased for the first time at the Frankfurt Motor Show last year.

    Now it is back in the headlines because they claimed it would do 0 to 100 km/h in under 2 seconds and according to V-Box data they shared with Motor Trend, they have achieved it with ease.

    After sifting through the raw data, MT found out that in one of the runs, the Owl managed to hit 60 mph in just 1.6 seconds (1.7 or 1.8 seconds for the 100 km/h sprint would probably be accurate). That is a lot faster than the Tesla Model S P100D which clocked 2.28 seconds to 60 mph in a previous test conducted by the publication.

    You might be wondering how this Japanese Aspark Owl manage to clock such insane acceleration times?

    To start with the vehicle packs 429 hp and 763 Nm from two electric motors which does not sound like much compared to today’s outputs but the car weighs less than 860 kg’s.

    During the test, the car was fitted with pre-warmed racing slicks and it was using super capacitors instead of batteries. Super capacitors are able to discharge large amounts of energy extremely quickly, which explains the sudden burst of acceleration.

    At this stage it is unknown if the Aspark Owl will reach full on production but if it does you can expect a price tag of more than $4 million for it!

    • The Audi RS3 is one of two ultimate ‘mega hatches’, and probably the best of the breed. Its astonishing pace and theatrical engine combine with huge grip and more of a driver focus than previous generations. It’s also a brilliant daily.

Are you parting with R1.3m (or more) for one? Let us know in the comments below.

    • Menacing Frozen Brooklyn Grey Metallic BMW M4 CSL sold by @bmwbryanston spotted in Linksfield recently by @thomasovitale 😎

Just 15 of these came into the country priced at R3.57m.

Would you prefer this or the freshly revealed M3 CS?

    • The BMW i4 M50 is quite possibly the best EV we have had the pleasure of testing.

It's superbly comfortable but at the simple touch of a button, it switches from tourer to tornado and you find yourself instantly doing speeds you should not be doing.

While not all EVs will have the same refinement or scintillating performance, this was both relaxing and thrilling to drive.

The Gran Coupé is a handsome car with a sense of sleek length and disguises its hatchback as a booted saloon rear end and that M Portimao Blue metallic paint certainly garnered a lot of positive attention.

Compared with the BMW iX it’s less of a show-stopper, but comes with a much more attractive price tag – and while the i4 is still quite the financial investment (R1,6m) we feel it gives you excellent value in return.

Yes, we did have a few charging issues (Eskom) and if you don't have a Wallbox charger at home filling up with petrol is MUCH easier. However, that being said if you’re looking for an outstanding driving experience both on the twisties and on the highway, this is definitely worth considering if you have decided to make the jump to the electric car.

    • The totally bonkers Ferrari 812 Competizione was spotted in Bryanston today by Brad Ainge.

It actually makes the F12tdf look quite tame in comparison. Which would you rather have?

Priced around R14m depending on spec.

    • Our time has come to an end with the most potent version of Mzansi’s favourite bakkie, the new Toyota Hilux GR-Sport.

The 2.8-litre turbo diesel powerplant has been tweaked to push out 165kW and 550 Nm thanks to an updated ECU which also responsible for the much needed revised mapping of the six-speed auto.

The sporty Hilux gets new monotube shocks as well as stiffer coil springs which make the bakkie a lot more settled at higher speed and provide great feedback on some of the twisty bits. If you don’t have a full load at the back however, you might find it a tad too stiff and rather twitchy for day to day driving. 

Inside you get a load of sporty touches including “carbon fibre” trim pieces but the highlight has to be the race inspired front seats complete with Alcantara inserts and some GR badging on the headrests. 

For the Hilux customers, this is a welcome addition to the range as the exterior and interior aesthetics align very neatly with the GR brand.

Yours from R891,400. Are you picking this or the Legend RS?
