A production-intent prototype called the Aspark SP600 beat the Rimac Nevera's top speed record by nearly 15 mph, making it the world's fastest EV.
The Croatian hypercar is no longer the world’s fastest EV after the Aspark SP600 beat its top speed by nearly 15 mph. The new record holder isn’t a production model, but that doesn’t make the feat any less impressive.An SP600 driven by Marc Bessing set the new mark this past Saturday, June 8, at the Automotive Testing Papenburg in track in Germany, the same location where the Rimac Neverain the fall of 2022. On its second run of the day, the EV reached an outrageous 272.
Bridgestone also designed a bespoke set of Potenza Race tires for the SP600 for its record-setting run.Aspark may not have released any details about the SP600’s powertrain, but it’s likely a beast. The Owl, which at $4.2 million, has a quad-motor setup that generates a combined 1,985 hp and 1,475 ft lbs of torque. It can launch from zero to 60 mph in just 1.72 seconds and reach a top speed of 257 mph, though both those figures are claims that haven’t been backed up by independent testing.
