The Aspark SP600 may not tell you anything. But it should. Because the car is insanely fast. The top speed of 438.7 km/h was achieved in Germany.
There is no faster car than the Aspark SP600.
At least not if that car is only allowed to run on electricity. The world's fastest electric car now comes from Japan, although it actually has Italian roots, as production takes place in Turin.
The top speed of 438.7 km/h was achieved at the Papenburg test facility in Germany. And not enough of that. The SP600, still a prototype, is briefly 26 km/h faster than the Rimac Nevera.
So, the car that until this week was officially the world's fastest electric car.

Behind the wheel of the SP600 was racing driver Marc Basseng, who has previously won the 24-hour race at the legendary Nürburgring. So he should know a thing or ten about driving fast cars.
The stretch itself, called Papenburg, is 1.8 kilometers long. But that does not mean that Aspark has built the world's fastest electric car. That is, officially. For this sort of thing to be 'approved', an average speed must be recorded. That is, back and forth over the same asphalt.
Aspark has not yet said anything about the specifications or the technology of the SP600. But we know that this is a further development of the previous Owl model. A Hvadbil which has 2,000 horsepower.
What the world's fastest car actually looks like is a little more complicated to answer. Because then we also have to factor in the internal combustion engine, series production and average speed.
However, Koenigsegg has a short 447.19 km/ten average in the Agera RS. The Bugatti has a short 490 km/h but only one way. And SSC had to admit, after much trouble, that they had no map of the 482 km/h car Tuatara. Read more about it here .
