About Hispano-Suiza
Hispano Suiza is a Spanish luxury automobile manufacturer headquartered in Barcelona, known for its historic craftsmanship and revival as a boutique electric hypercar brand. Originally founded in 1904 by Damián Mateu and engineer Marc Birkigt, the company produced some of the world's most advanced luxury and performance cars in the early 20th century, as well as aviation engines during both World Wars. After decades of dormancy, Hispano Suiza was revived in the 21st century under the ownership of the Mateu family, marking its return to high performance automotive manufacturing with a focus on electrification and bespoke design.
The brand's rebirth centers around its flagship model, the Hispano Suiza Carmen, an all electric hyperluxury grand tourer first unveiled in 2019. Built on a lightweight carbon fiber monocoque chassis, the Carmen is powered by a dual motor electric drivetrain producing over 1,000 horsepower, with a top speed exceeding 250 km/h and a range of approximately 400 kilometers. The car's design blends Art Deco heritage with modern aerodynamics, paying tribute to Hispano Suiza's early 20th century elegance while incorporating cutting edge battery and control technologies.
A more extreme variant, the Carmen Boulogne, further enhances performance and handling with reduced weight, track focused dynamics, and output increased to 1,100 horsepower. Both models are hand built in limited numbers in Barcelona, with extensive customization options available for each customer. The vehicles feature advanced materials, digital instrument clusters, and luxury interiors that combine traditional craftsmanship with contemporary sustainability.
Hispano Suiza develops its vehicles in collaboration with QEV Technologies, a Spanish engineering firm specializing in electric motorsport and battery systems. This partnership allows the brand to leverage Formula E level expertise while maintaining artisanal production quality. The company's electrification philosophy is rooted in performance, heritage, and exclusivity rather than mass production, positioning Hispano Suiza as one of Europe's most distinctive boutique EV manufacturers.
