Alright Owl fans, lets talk about the 2024 iteration of this incredible machine. While the core formula remains true to the hypercar ethos Asparks established, this model year continues to represent one of the most extreme expressions of electric performance on the planet. Its not just a fast EV; its a meticulously engineered statement piece, pushing the boundaries of what four wheels propelled by electrons can achieve. This is a car built for shattering records and dominating the conversation in the hypercar space, regardless of powertrain.

Underneath that impossibly low silhouette lies the heart of the beast: a quad-motor setup, one motor driving each wheel. This configuration allows for incredibly precise torque vectoring, managing the monumental power output thats often cited around 1984 PS (thats nearly 2000 horsepower for those keeping track) and roughly 2000 Nm of torque. Powering this is an 800V battery system, reportedly around 64 kWh, chosen for its ability to deliver massive current for blistering acceleration runs and support rapid charging, crucial for a vehicle designed for peak performance demands. This translates into numbers like 0-60 mph potentially dipping into the 1.7-second range, firmly placing it in a league of its own.

The engineering doesnt stop at the powertrain. The Owl utilizes a full carbon fiber monocoque chassis and carbon fiber bodywork, aiming for structural rigidity and weight reduction wherever possible, though the complex powertrain and battery still result in a substantial curb weight around 1900 kg. Its most striking feature, the incredibly low 99 cm height, isnt just for show; it significantly contributes to the cars aerodynamic profile and low center of gravity. Active aerodynamics, including a deployable rear wing, are integrated to manage downforce and drag, essential for maintaining stability at its claimed top speeds approaching 400 km/h. The suspension system is designed to handle immense forces, ensuring the power is translated effectively to the tarmac.
