Japanese electric hypercar brand Aspark is back in the headlines. This time, the Aspark SP600 beat the mighty Rimac Nevera, setting a new EV top speed record.
The SP600 clocked a top speed of 272.6 mph (438.7 km/h) at the ATP proving ground in Papenburg, Germany. This is the same track where the Nevera had set the previous record. The only caveat is that the SP600 is not a series production car like the Nevera.
The Aspark SP600 was driven by Marc Basseng. The same guy who has the Nurburgring lap record in a Pagani Zonda R to his name.
The Japanese EV maker demonstrated its capabilities back in 2018 with the Aspark Owl. It managed to hit 0-60 mph in just 1.6 seconds, beating the Tesla Model S P100D in the process.
