Hispano Suiza has proudly launched the Carmen Sagrera, its latest electric hypercar and a tribute to its 120-year legacy. The Carmen Sagrera showcases a sleek new design and enhanced performance, featuring a robust 103 kWh battery. This milestone vehicle was revealed at the historic Finca Mas Solers during Hispano Suiza's 120th-anniversary celebrations. The event attracted the company’s team, media, ambassadors, customers, and brand enthusiasts.
Miguel Suqué, President of Hispano Suiza, shared, "We proudly carry forward the pioneering spirit of our founders, focusing on a team-driven and passionate approach to innovation.” Sergio Martínez Campos, CEO, added, “The Sagrera strengthens the Carmen range introduced in 2019. We aim to conquer major markets, including the USA, and celebrate our rich heritage this year.”
The reveal included a mesmerizing performance by renowned dancer Sol Picó, symbolizing destiny's connections, with Luis Pérez Sala, a development driver and brand ambassador, showcasing the new model. The Carmen Sagrera features cutting-edge battery technology developed entirely at the Montmeló, Barcelona facility. It houses 360 lithium-ion cells organized in 15 modules, significantly boosting the car’s range by 100 km to 480 km under the WLTP cycle.
The vehicle also sports an optimized cooling system crafted from sustainable materials for better efficiency and performance. Juan Fernández, the Technical Director, emphasized temperature control and energy consumption advancements.
The front-end design of the Sagrera boldly mirrors the sporty elegance of early 20th-century Hispano Suiza models, with aerodynamic enhancements including a stork-wing-inspired spoiler that increases downforce and improves handling. The design team, led by Francesc Arenas, aimed to blend tradition with modern sportiness, enhancing the car’s aesthetic and aerodynamic functionality.
The interior features a luxury redesign with Alcantara, leather details, and a state-of-the-art infotainment system offering extensive connectivity. The Sagrera's power comes from four 205 kW motors, delivering a staggering 1,100 hp and accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.6 seconds.
Its advanced suspension system, lightweight components, and superior braking capabilities ensure top-tier performance and are for racetrack and street driving. The Hispano Suiza Carmen Sagrera, presented in a unique Cava Gold tone, symbolizes the fusion of tradition and innovation that continues to drive the brand forward.
Following its global debut, the Sagrera will appear at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in the UK, marking another exciting chapter in Hispano Suiza's storied history.
