A small engineering company in Japan claims it has produced the world's first street-legal car capable of hitting 0-60mph in under two seconds.
The Aspark Owl was launched at the Frankfurt Auto Show last year and its creators said it would have 430 horsepower, 563 all-wheel lb-ft of torque, weigh under 860kg and accelerate to sixty in just two seconds.
Now Aspark have released incredible footage showing the electric hypercar smashing the sub-2-second mark and achieving a time of just 1.921 seconds - faster than any Formula 1 racing car.

How do you convert that to g-force?
So the car will only run for 2 seconds?

Heh, a white headband with the rising sun on it, and a video demonstrating the proper “hands off” “BANZAI” right before impact technique!
If it is like those "one trick pony" Tesla things, most likely it will need a long cool down and recharge to do more than idle around.
I hear the way to beat a Tesla is set it up three out of five drag races.
Fine, I will. As soon as I can scrape up $4 million.
Be sure to post dashcam video.
About 2.7G.
I guess people with gull-wing cars have a garage twice as wide/high as mine.
Wonder if the $4 mil includes a crew to push it in reverse for ya or are you on your own.
