Aspark Owl Roadster: The Quickest Open-Top EV of Today

Electrified Ferocity - There’s something undeniably magnetic about the way modern car culture shifts toward silence and speed at the same time. For decades, open-top performance machines thrived on the roar of combustion, yet today the world’s most extreme thrills increasingly come from vehicles that don’t make much noise at all. This contrast — the nostalgia of wind-in-your-hair driving and the futuristic punch of instant electric torque — sets the stage for one of the most staggering creations of the modern EV era: the Aspark Owl Roadster. 

The Aspark Owl Roadster is not just benchmarks of performance; they are statements about where electric propulsion can go when limits are treated as challenges rather than boundaries. (Picture from: Motor1)

Born from a Japanese engineering ambition that always seems to chase the outer edges of possibility, the Owl Roadster steps into a rarefied circle of electric hypercars that includes giants like the Lotus Evija, Pininfarina Battista, and Rimac Nevera. These machines are not just benchmarks of performance; they are statements about where electric propulsion can go when limits are treated as challenges rather than boundaries. Aspark, a company with a background in advanced engineering rather than mass-market carmaking, approaches the electric hypercar landscape with a kind of fearless precision — and the Roadster showcases that mindset at full force as a natural evolution of its sibling Coupé launched in 2019.

Without a roof, the character of the vehicle transforms dramatically. The design leans into aerodynamic aggression, a sleek carbon-fiber shell sculpted with lines that look as if they were shaped by high-speed airflow rather than human hands. The exterior appears stretched taut over the mechanical violence beneath it, while the open configuration turns the cabin into a raw sensory chamber. Aspark describes this setup as a way of becoming “one with the road,” and it fits: every gust of wind, every vibration, every rising note of speed is amplified when the sky becomes part of the driving experience.

Underneath that sculpted body lies a layout meant to intimidate on paper and overwhelm in motion. Four individual electric motors, working independently yet in perfect coordination, unleash 1,953 horsepower and 1,920 Nm of torque the instant the accelerator is pressed. The numbers that follow almost read like misprints: 0–100 km/h in 1.78 seconds, 0–200 km/h in 4.76 seconds, and 0–300 km/h in just 9.74 seconds. Aspark claims a theoretical top speed of 413 km/h, though customer vehicles will be dialed back electronically to 350 km/h — still more than enough to reorder your sense of reality.

The Aspark Owl Roadster packs an intimidating setup beneath its sculpted body, with four synchronized electric motors delivering 1,953 horsepower and 1,920 Nm of torque the instant you press the accelerator. (Picture from: CarBuzz)

What’s perhaps most remarkable is that all of this power sits inside a structure engineered with the obsessive detail of a racing prototype. A carbon-fiber monocoque forms the spine of the Roadster, providing rigidity without unnecessary weight. The suspension uses a double-wishbone system with adjustable ride height, ranging from a street-friendly 160 mm down to a track-focused 80 mm. Massive carbon-ceramic brakes, complete with 10-piston calipers at the front, reign in its fury, and an active rear wing adapts its stance based on speed and driving demands. Even the drive modes show range — from calm Snow settings to full attack configurations intended for maximum performance.

Despite carrying a 69-kWh battery and all the hardware required to manage nearly 2,000 hp, the car maintains a weight of just 1,900 kg. It’s heavy by sports-car standards but impressively lean for a machine operating in this extreme performance territory. And while interior details are traditionally minimal on hypercars, here the focus is on maximizing sensation rather than overflowing with luxuries. The cabin becomes a command zone designed around visibility, stability, and the pure feel of speed rather than elaborate embellishment.

What truly elevates the Owl Roadster beyond its mechanical theatrics is its place within the current era. Electric performance cars are often defined by silent efficiency, autonomous features, and the polished predictability of modern software. Yet the Owl Roadster pushes against that stereotype and reintroduces something primal: unpredictability, exhilaration, and the human element. It reflects a moment in automotive history when EVs are no longer merely alternatives to combustion engines but platforms for emotional, unfiltered driving experiences that weren’t supposed to exist in the electric age.

The Aspark Owl Roadster heightens its mystique through extreme rarity, with estimates placing its price well above $3.5 million and production limited to just 20 units. (Picture from: CarBuzz)

Its rarity reinforces its mystique. Early estimates place its cost well above $3.5 million, and production is expected to stop at just 20 units. That level of exclusivity places it among the most unattainable EVs ever built, exceeding even the price tags of other electric hypercar titans. For most people, it will remain something to observe from afar — a technological flex, a symbol of what’s possible when a company decides not just to compete, but to astonish. | ETqBAWAnpIo |

The Aspark Owl Roadster may not change the world in terms of global EV adoption or practical mobility, but it does something arguably more culturally profound: it reimagines what an open-air supercar can feel like in an era where electricity rules. It bridges the emotional past of roadsters with the electrified future of performance, proving that innovation doesn’t have to lose its sense of thrill. It shows that even in a world leaning toward quiet efficiency, there is still room for wild machines built not for necessity, but for the sheer joy of pushing limits. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | ASPARKCOMPANY | EN.ARABGT | CARBUZZ | TOPGEAR | MOTOR1 ]

No Smoke, No Noise—Just Water Vapor: Meet the Jawara Hydrogen Motorcycle

Hydrogen Breakthrough - In a time when cleaner mobility has become a shared global priority, hydrogen technology is steadily gaining recognition as a promising alternative to conventional engines. This evolving conversation found an unexpected yet compelling voice in Bandung, where a group of young engineers from Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia (UPI)—known in English as the Indonesian University of Education—developed an eco-friendly motorcycle labeled FCEV Jawara, with “Jawara” meaning “Champion.” Their silent, emission-free prototype offers a glimpse of a future in which transportation leaves behind no smoke or engine noise—only a trail of water vapor that quietly replaces the pollution long associated with city motorcycles.

The FCEV Jawara eco-friendly motorcycle prototype is the work of ten students from the Automotive Engineering Education Study Program under the Faculty of Industrial Technology Education (FPTI) at Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia (UPI), Bandung. (Picture from: MediaIndonesia)

The project began during the PLN Innovation and Competition in Electricity (ICE) 2024, a national contest joined by 30 universities in Indonesia. UPI’s team proposed a hydrogen motorcycle concept inspired by a blend of café racer aesthetics and a sporty design language. Their idea secured funding as one of the two best submissions, allowing the students to bring the prototype to life. The university backed them wholeheartedly with 24-hour laboratory access, academic exemptions, and guidance from lecturer Sriyono, who had previously overseen other green-technology successes such as electric bamboo bicycles and energy-efficient vehicles.

Development carried on from 2024 with a five-month design phase followed by three months of assembly. Ten students from the Automotive Engineering Education Study Program, under the Faculty of Industrial Technology Education (FPTI), worked together to shape both the structure and technical systems of the motorcycle. Around 80 percent of its components were sourced domestically, with the only imported part being the fuel cell from Mexico—something the team hopes Indonesia will eventually be able to produce on its own. Their dedication culminated in the motorcycle’s public appearance at the vocational education innovation exhibition held at UPI’s General Meeting Hall on November 12, 2025.

The Jawara motorcycle stands out not only because of its concept but also its performance. Running entirely on hydrogen that is converted into electricity through a fuel cell, it can travel an impressive 428 kilometers on just two liters of hydrogen. Despite being fully eco-friendly, it still reaches speeds of up to 80 km/h, making it suitable for everyday use. The reaction inside the fuel cell produces power without combustion, resulting in an experience free of engine rumble—just a quiet electric motor and water vapor as its only output. Its regenerative braking system adds further efficiency by converting braking energy into additional electrical power.

Much of the project’s technical responsibility was handled by Muhammad Zidan, a 2023 student who oversaw the electrical system and body wiring harness. Zidan explained that the motorcycle’s principle is simple yet powerful: hydrogen enters the fuel cell, electricity is generated, and the motor receives clean energy without producing harmful emissions. This clarity of purpose reflects the team’s belief that hydrogen vehicles could become a crucial part of global transportation’s next chapter, as long as supporting infrastructure—such as hydrogen refueling stations—is developed alongside them.

To complement its sustainable performance, Jawara integrates several advanced safety and smart features. These include IoT-based monitoring for gas pressure and engine temperature, a GPS tracker, an RFID security system, and even a remote engine cut-off that can be activated via SMS if the motorcycle is lost or stolen. A hydrogen sensor equipped with an automatic safety cut-off adds another layer of protection by shutting the system down when a leak is detected. According to the team, every feature was designed with efficiency, safety, and intelligence in mind, ensuring the vehicle feels both modern and reliable.

2003 Rinspeed Bedouin Concept: The Sports Car That Turned Into a Pickup

Radical Versatility - In the world of cars, some creations come along that feel less like machines and more like wild experiments—bold statements that challenge what we expect a vehicle to be. Back in 2003, one such machine stole the spotlight at the Geneva Motor Show: the Rinspeed Bedouin. At first glance, it seemed familiar, rooted in the unmistakable DNA of the Porsche 911 Turbo. But spend even a few seconds looking closer, and it became obvious that this was no ordinary sports car—it was something stranger, more playful, and in many ways ahead of its time. 

The 2003 Rinspeed Bedouin Concept. (Picture from: Rinspeed)

The Bedouin started its life as a 996-generation Porsche 911 Turbo, but Rinspeed’s vision took it in an entirely new direction. This Swiss design house, led by Frank M. Rinderknecht, has long been known for dreaming up vehicles that bend the rules, and the Bedouin might be one of their most daring ideas. It wasn’t just about looks or novelty. Rinspeed set out to prove that a performance car could be both environmentally forward-thinking and versatile enough to thrive where few sports cars dared to tread. Its engine was still a twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter flat-six, but it had been reimagined to run on natural gas—something that, even today, feels remarkably progressive for a concept car more than two decades old.

Visually, the Bedouin looked like it had stepped out of a parallel universe. The body, made entirely from lightweight composite materials, kept echoes of the 911’s silhouette but sat a full 15 centimeters higher on a specially designed Eibach adjustable off-road suspension. Large air intakes, widened fenders, and a functional diffuser gave it an aggressive stance, while 18-inch Rinspeed alloys wrapped in Continental SportContact 4x4 tires hinted that this Porsche-based creation wasn’t afraid of dirt trails or gravel roads.

And then there was its party trick—the roof. Unlike anything seen on a sports car before, the Bedouin’s roof could literally reshape the vehicle’s character. With the help of two electric motors, the entire upper structure lifted and folded in an elaborate motion. In a matter of seconds, a sleek coupe-like profile could transform into a pickup truck, complete with an extendable cargo bed stretching up to 185 centimeters. It wasn’t just clever engineering; it was theater on wheels. 

The 2003 Rinspeed Bedouin Concept. (Picture from: GridOto)

Inside, Rinspeed didn’t hold back either. The cabin mixed Porsche familiarity with eccentric touches that felt more like jewelry than car trim. Rich Poltrona-Frau leather in Cotto brown wrapped the seats and panels, while Swarovski crystals were inlaid across the doors and even embedded into the shift knob, which itself was made of solid crystal. A Blaupunkt infotainment setup—complete with a fold-out 7-inch display, DVD playback, reversing camera, and the ability to connect a Sony PlayStation—turned the Bedouin into something of a rolling entertainment lounge.

For all its extravagance, the Bedouin wasn’t dismissed as a gimmick. Even Porsche itself acknowledged the creativity behind it, with Rinderknecht recalling that Stuttgart’s engineers appreciated how the transformation respected the 911’s essence without compromising its engineering soul. That’s saying something, considering how fiercely protective Porsche has always been of its flagship sports car.

Looking back now, the Bedouin feels almost prophetic. It hinted at a world where performance cars didn’t have to be tied down by tradition—where flexibility, sustainability, and sheer imagination could coexist in a single machine. While the recently launched Porsche 911 Dakar is a far more polished and production-ready take on the “all-terrain sports car,” the Bedouin remains a reminder of how bold concepts can spark ideas long before the market is ready to embrace them. | R_GR3RjDnWU |

Two decades on, the Rinspeed Bedouin still stands out as one of those rare concept cars that wasn’t just futuristic for its time, but almost futuristic for ours. It might never have made it to showrooms, but its spirit lingers in every unconventional sports car that dares to go off-road or rethink what performance should look like. For a fleeting moment in 2003, the Bedouin showed the world that a Porsche could be part desert explorer, part luxury lounge, and part sci-fi experiment—and somehow, it all worked. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | RINSPEED | COLLECTINGCARS ]
