What is a ‘hypercar’ and how do you distinguish an exclusive piece

Broadly speaking, these are vehicles with dream characteristics and with more than 1,900 different combinations.

The Hispano Suiza Carmen and Carmen Boulogne have marked a before and an after in the automotive industry, just as their predecessors did more than a century ago. Pioneers in technology, elegance, exclusivity and benefits. All of this
grants the title of ‘hypercars’a concept that takes the capabilities of these vehicles to a new level.

First of all, technology. The Hispano Suiza have been
literally developed on the track. The technical office of the Spanish brand consists of renowned race engineers and mechanics, with experience in championships such as Formula E. In addition, the brand has former Formula 1 and touring car driver Luis Pérez-Sala as a development driver, who has clocked up countless kilometers behind the wheel of the Carmen. the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya and the roads around it. For all these reasons, it is no secret that Hispano Suiza has created a vehicle ahead of its time, utilizing advanced technologies rarely seen before in a model designed for road use.

He
result is a vehicle with 1,114 horsepower of power in the case of the Carmen Boulogne and 1,019 hp in the case of the Carmen, with a fully electric propulsion system capable of covering some 400 kilometers fully charged and emission-free. All this thanks to the 80 kWh battery.

What would a “hypercar” be without dream benefits? The two Hispano Suizas also meet this important condition. These accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in less than three seconds. With an enormous power (820 kW) and a curb weight of only 1,690 kg (60 kg less in the case of the Boulogne version), the Carmen is capable of the highest level of performance. Although it is designed for the road, it performs perfectly on the track, at the level of competition vehicles.

Design is another feature and differentiator of Hispano Suiza. The brand has taken care of the details inside and out, trying to make every person who steps into one of its vehicles feel like they are in one of the most exclusive cars ever created. For the exterior, Hispano Suiza decided to base itself on one of the iconic designs of the 1930s, the H6C Dubonnet Xenia, a model that represented an evolution of the Xenia, more powerful and with a more aerodynamic body. El Carmen is a modern version of that car, adapted to the new times, with an electric motor and the most advanced technologies.

As for the interior, it has the best materials, inspired by the interiors of the most luxurious Hispano Suiza models. The two-seater cabin exudes refinement and opulence and perfectly complements its performance. For example, high-quality machined aluminum and wood finishes have been used on the dashboard. The classic dial in the center of the dashboard mirrors the position of the clocks of the brand’s first cars. Likewise, the triangular gear lever is a nod to the steel triangle found on the dashboard of previous models of the brand.

Like exclusivity. No two Hispano Suiza are the same, which is also an important part of the ‘hypercar’ concept, because thanks to the ‘Unique Tailormade’ programme, each owner can have an inimitable model in his garage, made especially for him. This allows the Hispano Suiza customer to choose from more than 1,904 combinations for the interior and exterior of his new Carmen, creating a unique model. The production of the Hispano Suiza Carmen and Carmen Boulogne is also
limited to 24 units.
