• The Hispano Suiza Carmen Sagrera will make its global debut on June 13th , coinciding with the brand’s 120th anniversary.
• Finca Mas Solers in Sant Pere de Ribes will host the presentation of the hypercar that will complete the Carmen range.
• The instant connection that emerges from the Japanese legend of the red thread will be the leitmotiv of the event.

Barcelona, April 18th, 2024. – A Japanese legend says that there is an invisible red thread that unites people destined to be together. This thread can stretch, shrink and even tangle, but it never breaks. Although they may be separated by distance, time or circumstances, this thread will always keep them united and will eventually lead them to find each other and finally be together.

In 1904, Hispano Suiza was born from an unpredictable union, an instant connection of two people, Damià Mateu and Marc Birkigt, a businessman and an engineer who had to cross paths, just as if an unknown force had pulled them together. A force that attracted them and kept them united, developing a unique project. 120 years later, the force of the red thread intervenes again.

Hispano Suiza Carmen Sagrera, the result of constant evolution

The Japanese legend of the red thread will be the leitmotiv of the Hispano Suiza Carmen Sagrera launch on June 13th at the Mas Solers estate in Sant Pere de Ribes (Spain). This Renaissance-style mansion from the late 19th century was chosen to launch the Hispano Suiza Carmen Boulogne in 2020, when the pandemic forced the cancellation of the Geneva Motor Show. The red thread will guide every aspect of the experience: from the decoration to the planned activities, each element will be imbued with the idea of ​​universal connection and the inevitability of destiny. All of this in an environment where mystery and the arts will be intertwined with innovation and the excitement of discovering the Hispano Suiza Sagrera.

On a technical level, the Sagrera will incorporate the new 103kW battery and will feature an important evolution in terms of aerodynamics and interior design.

• Hispano Suiza shows its new hypercar for the first time in 12-second teaser.
• Its large, exposed carbon fibre rear wing is a real statement of intent.
• Sagrera is the third member of Hispano Suiza’s range of hypercars: it will arrive in June 2024 to coincide with the brand’s 120th anniversary.

Barcelona, 19th February 2024. Hispano Suiza has unveiled the first images of its new hypercar, the Carmen Sagrera, in a 12-second teaser video. It will be the third model in the company’s range of all-electric hypercars and is due to be unveiled in mid-2024, to mark the brand’s 120^th anniversary.

The company’s new hypercar, designed by Francesc Arenas, will have a rear end dominated by a large exposed carbon fibre spoiler. This evolution, resulting from the technical team’s expertise – led by CTO Juan Fernández – gives the model an even sportier look, without compromising the hyperlux philosophy, a concept coined by Hispano Suiza when it launched the Carmen back in 2019.

This is in addition to the new 103 kW battery capacity, which will increase the overall driving range.

The new Hispano Suiza Carmen Sagrera expands the range of electrified hypercars and will be the ideal testimony to the 120-year history of the company founded by Damián Mateu and Mark Birkigt in Barcelona in 1904.

Hispano Suiza Carmen Sagrera, a nod to the company’s roots

Sagrera is a nod to Hispano Suiza’s roots: La Sagrera district of Barcelona was in fact the area where the company established its first large production factory.

The growing success of its models forced Hispano Suiza to move to La Sagrera, renowned for its booming industrial activity. In 1907 Hispano Suiza built there its first large factory which allowed the company to increase its production. It was located on Ribas road, where it came to occupy a surface area of 50,000 m² and underwent two extensions to meet the growing market needs, employing 1,800 people.

Barcelona, 3 April 2023. Hispano Suiza has joined the European Small Volume Car Alliance (ESCA), the trade body for Europe’s car manufacturers which produce less than 10,000 vehicles a year.

ESCA represents the position of its associates before the European institutions and its member states, guaranteeing that their interests are defended together with those of the rest of the automobile industry. This alliance defends the diversity of the sector and the consumer’s ability to choose.

Likewise, ESCA is committed to the continuous improvement of vehicle performance through technological innovations, with the aim of maintaining its competitiveness in the market, as well as implementing measures to reduce carbon emissions of the European Union.

Sergio Martínez Campos, CEO of Hispano Suiza, stated: “Hispano Suiza joining ESCA underlines the commitment and solidity of the project that our company has at European level. We share the objectives of the Alliance and we are prepared to continue growing together”.
With the incorporation of Hispano Suiza, which became official this week at its first meeting of the year, the number of ESCA members rises to seventeen.
