“The carbon-fibre Carmen has been designed and built on the F1 circuit’s fringe in collaboration with QEV Technologies, whose EV qualifications include running Formula E teams. For now, Hispano Suiza is being funded wholly by the Suqué Mateu family, whose interests include wineries, casino resorts, industrial packaging and real estate. The Suqué Mateu seat is the medieval Peralada Castle, with a library containing 100,000 first-edition books. Hispano Suiza is the only true family-owned car manufacturer in the world, the Suqué Mateus having overseen the brand across four generations.”
