Hispano Suiza took to the internet to
promote the Carmen. The electric model was presented at the 2019 Geneva Motor
Show and sports a daring design that combines classic and futuristic styling.
It may have blended in with other production
cars and concepts on the showroom floor, but the Carmen is a notable presence
on the road. And this is the message sent by the company in the official video
released on YouTube and shared at the bottom of the page, which also speaks
about other aspects of the model.
Bold looks aside, the Carmen is very
powerful. It packs two electric motors that power the rear wheels, for a
combined output of 1,005 HP. The official estimate for the 0-100 km/h acceleration is under 3 seconds and top speed is
electronically limited to 250 km/h. The zero-emission hyper GT takes
energy from an 80 kWh battery pack.
Earlier this month, Hispano Suiza
presented another interpretation of the electric hyper GT. It’s called the
Carmen Boulogne boasting an exposed carbon fiber body, carbon ceramic brakes, a
trimmed up interior with Alcantara and suede, a 10.1-inch infotainment system
and digital instrument cluster.
The special edition has an updated
electric powertrain that retains the recipe: two motors powering the rear
wheels, although this time they produce a total of 1,100 HP, and a peak torque of 1,600 Nm. The 0-100
km/h sprint is dispatched in less than 2.6 seconds and top speed is 290 km/h. The 80 kWh battery hands it a range of over 400 km in
the old NEDC.
