Pre-orders have begun for the first models of a £3.1million electric car which its makers claim can accelerate from 0 to 60 in less than two seconds.
The futuristic Aspark Owl, manufactured by a Japanese company, is going on display at the Paris Motor Show this week.
At the launch the car's creators said it would have 430 horsepower, weigh less than 1,900 pounds - similar to an average dairy cow and less than half a typical white rhino - and accelerate to sixty in just two seconds.
Customers will be able to put down their first £890,000 (€1 million) deposits at the Paris exhibition, Bloomberg has reported.

How many Gs does such acceleration produce on the driver.
You know that’s symbolic. Elon is remaining as CEO. Will prob still have board membership and will return to the Chairman position in 3 years.
That board is going to do what Elon says regardless of titles.
a car for when you absolutely positively must get to a store 3-4 seconds faster-
“Elon Musk eat your heart out. “
Why? His roadsters does the same for a lot less $!
“Elon Musk eat your heart out. “
LOL! Tesla SEDAN can almost do that and is AFFORDABLE!
It’ll cost a fortune to keep tires on that thing.
“Shelby GT350 could almost get there 50 years ago, about 4 sec”
Not even close. OTOH, a stock 2018 Mustang GT will do 4 sec.
How many Gs does such acceleration produce on the driver.
Consider your average cow suddenly accelerating
0 to 60 in 2 seconds...
Perhaps you are not aware that HP is DIRECTLY related to torque.
When an engine is dyno’d torque is recorded and HP then calculated.
Since I have forgotten most of my physics of motion has been swallowed in the mists of time, I can’t figure my question out or your response.
My 20+ year old Ducati will break 3 seconds.
Hint. Don’t stand behind the cow.
Does the drive line make that lame Japanese car buzzing sound, or something manly like an American muscle car?
I think they should gift me one to test drive for as long as I want then return it to them when done.
It’s the truly Japanese thing to do. /s
I don’t think it would make it into my driveway without scraping the bottom somewhere. A car like this would get me into so much trouble. No engine sounds to let me know I’m doing 150 mph or anything.
not even close.
What's that in African elephants?
I knew I could count on a brilliant Freeper to give me the answer, thanks.
