    Production Aspark Owl Boasts 2,012 HP (1,500 kW) and Will Do 100 km/h in 1.9s

    It is the Dubai International Motor show and the production version of the Aspark Owl has arrived boasting some serious performance figures as expected.

    Aspark is a Japanese engineering company and their road-going electric hypercar packs a ridiculous 2,012 hp (1,500 kW) and 2,000 Nm of torque from its quad-motor setup. To our knowledge, that makes it the most powerful production road car in the world.

    Those are big numbers but what about some small numbers like its acceleration? Aspark reckons it will be able to hit 60 mph (96 km/h) in a neck-snapping 1.69s (100 km/h in 1.9s).

    While talking to TopGear, the Aspark boss Masanori Yoshida said since the car’s initial launch in 2017, the company has been diligently working away to make it not just faster, but the fastest.

    The car will be built in Italy by MAT, and Yoshida confirmed the final cars will be ready by early next year. Of the 50 units planned, he’s already had orders for 15 with a steep price tag of €2.9m (approx. R48 million).

    Aspark said the drivetrain is sourced from an external supplier, but wouldn’t comment on exactly who built it. Regardless of where this unit comes from, it is capable of hitting 300 km/h in just 10.6 seconds and run all the way to a top speed of 400 km/h.

    As you can see in the shots included, the production version has changed slightly with the inclusion of some wing mirrors, an active rear wing, and newly shaped side glass.

    “We’re planning on making another model in the future,” Yoshida told Top Gear. “Both smaller and bigger than the Owl.” Indeed, the second Aspark road car will be the big one, but not an SUV. “Only hypercars – I like hypercars!” he said.

    • 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?
