HISPANO SUIZA ALL-ELECTRIC CARMEN SUPERCAR

EV Channels Review

This special episode of the EV Revolution Show features an in-depth interview with Joan Orús, CTO of Hispano Suiza, discussing the revival of the historic luxury brand through its all-electric Carmen supercar. The conversation highlights the company's rich heritage dating back to 1904 and its strategic pivot to electrification, leveraging Formula E technology for road-going vehicles. Orús emphasizes the Carmen's bespoke, handcrafted nature, built on a ground-up carbon fiber chassis, offering extreme performance with over 1000 horsepower and sub-2.5-second 0-100 kph acceleration, while weighing under 1800 kg. The interview also touches upon the customizability of the interior, the in-house developed battery pack and thermal management system, and the exclusive, limited production runs (20 Carmen, 5 Boulogne). The overall message is one of a reborn brand committed to luxury, exclusivity, and cutting-edge electric performance, with plans for future developments.
