The Hispano Suiza Brand

Between 1904 and 1946, Hispano Suiza built more than 12,000 luxury vehicles and 50,000 aeroplane engines.
Now reborn, the company has created the new Hispano Suiza Carmen, a pioneering model from the ‘hyperlux’ segment, through a unique blend of timeless design, exquisite luxury, painstaking craftsmanship and scrupulous attention to technical and engineering details.

Hispano Suiza plans to become one of Europe’s most luxurious and exclusive supersport car manufacturers, producing cars of the highest quality to the world’s most discerning motorists.

The brand is proud of its Spanish roots with its headquarters, technical centre, and manufacturing facilities all based in Barcelona, and a direct family lineage tracing four generations to the founder Damián Mateu.

The Hispano Suiza history repeats itself

Damià Mateu, together with engineer Marc Birkigt, founded Hispano Suiza in 1904. The combination of brilliant project management together with technical brilliance made the production of robust, reliable, and powerful jewels possible, which conquered the automotive industry.

After more than 115 years, history repeats itself. In 2019, the lawyer, businessman, and great-grandson of the founder, Miguel Suqué Mateu, together with the team of electrical engineers at QEV Technologies, bring about the renaissance of Hispano Suiza with the release of the Hispano Suiza Carmen.

Spanish spirit and strong family legacy

Proud of its Spanish spirit and strong family legacy, the Suqué Mateu family retains a strong influence over the brand’s direction, management, and planning.
