HISPANO SUIZA CARMEN
The Hispano Suiza Carmen is an electric hypercar inspired by the unique style and elegance of Carmen Mateu (1936-2018), granddaughter of the company’s founder, and mother of the President. It is inspired by one of Hispano Suiza’s iconic 1930s designs, the Dubonnet Xenia. André Dubonnet launched a new and improved version of the Xenia in 1938, more powerful and with more aerodynamic bodywork. Sliding doors, an enveloping windscreen and futuristic lines.
