Tesla Roadster stunned the world back in November with its astronomical performance claims.
Not only did Elon Musk reveal its enormous electric car range of 620 miles on a single charge, which dwarfs its competition, but also suggested it could give combustion-powered cars a run for their money.
The Tesla CEO suggested that the car could go from 0-60mph in just 1.9-seconds - making it the world’s fastest accelerating car.
Previously, car manufacturers have suggested that a the sub-two second 0-60mph speed in unattainable.
Tesla does have a good knack of proving people wrong, but the car will not debut until 2020, so it will be a while before this claims can be validated or disproven.
It may, however, be already too little too late as an electric car company reckons to have already achieved that.
The team behind the Aspark Owl claims to have video proof of their electric hypercar travelling form 0-60mph in 1.9 seconds.
This would make it the first street-legal car capable of doing so.
It is a car that was first launched at the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show.
The two-seater hypercar has 430bhp and 763 Nm of torque, all-wheel drive and weighs just 860kg.
Footage released by the Japanese engineering firm claims to display the electric hypercar travelling from 0-60mph in 1.921 seconds - faster than any F1 car.
Some commenters on the video, however, were sceptical of the car’s run due to a number of factors.
Issues people have include the short length of the test track, the lack of speed recording software and the type of tyres the car is using.
The car will be made in extremely limited numbers with just 50 planned to go into production.
They will also cost an extortionate amount with customers expected to fork out £3million to secure one.
