This all-electric battery-powered beast from Japanese manufacturer Aspark is touted as the fastest accelerating car in the world. Despite being first previewed in 2019, the car only became available at the end of 2021, with an estimated 50 Aspark Owls up for grabs.

The performance numbers speak for themselves. The Owl can reach 0-60 mph in just 1.69 seconds and can top 186 mph in 10.6 seconds. It has a top speed of 249 mph, which is incredible for an electric car. If you want one, they don’t come cheap, so be prepared to fork out $3.2 million.

Named in tribute to Pininfarina’s founder Battista Pininfarina, this all-electric car was publicly unveiled at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show. Powered by a 120 kWh battery pack with four individual motors placed above each of the wheels, the Pininfarina Battista accelerates from 0-60 mph in 1.8 seconds and has a top speed of 217 mph.

Like most hypercars, this Battista Pininfarina is aerodynamic and has a sleek design that gives it an aggressive look. Only 150 of these cars have been built and are sold for $2.5 million each.

13. Rimac C Two

The first prototype of the Rimac Nevera was only released in August of 2021. If it looks similar to the Pininfarina Battista, that’s because it is manufactured in the same factory and based on the same platform. It features an all-electric engine, is capable of Level 4 of autonomous driving, and is equipped with butterfly doors. In a nod to The Grand Tour host Richard Hammond, who crashed a Rimac Concept One during a hill climb that caught on fire, there is a fire extinguisher in the back held in by a leather strap embossed with the words “In case of hill climb, extinguish fire.”
