    Aspark Now Accepting Orders For Its 1,150 HP, $3.6 Million All-Electric Hypercar

    This week’s Paris Auto Show saw an update from Japanese firm Aspark on its forthcoming all-electric hypercar called the Owl. The non-mainstream automaker has announced that orders are now open for the $3.6 million (approx. R53.4-million) that does 0-100 km/h in less than 2 seconds.

    Aspark as a firm is involved in manufacturing a wide range of machines from medical devices to robotics. The Japanese-based brand is now trying its hand in the supercar game with its EV and to order one you have to part with $1.15-million (approx. R17-million) just to secure your order.

    While deliveries of the Aspark Owl are set to start in 2020, a prototype has already hit 0-100 km/h in 1.9 seconds – an unrivaled time. The closest competitors in this respect are the Rimac C_Two and Tesla’s promised Roadster which was supposed to arrive also in 2020. In terms of price, Tesla offers a bargain at $200,000 (approx. R2.9-million) while the Rimac is also sitting at seven figures.

    With a top speed of 280 km/h and range of 300 km, the Aspark seems to bring a little more than a 0-100 km/h time to the table, compared to its rivals at least. Aspark is rumoured to make only 50 examples of the Owl and with the company still deciding on the number of motors to fit in the car, the $1.15-million non-refundable deposit will only be for the brave.

    • 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?
