FYI: The legendary Hispano Suiza brand revives luxury and performance in the Carmen Sagrera, a bespoke hypercar crafted with meticulous precision at their Barcelona headquarters.
A New Era in Luxury Hypercars
The Carmen Sagrera represents the pinnacle of automotive design and engineering, marrying innovation with timeless craftsmanship. This masterwork is propelled by four electric motors, combining to deliver an astounding 1,114 horsepower. Capable of accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.6 seconds, the Carmen Sagrera is perfectly tailored for the discerning gentleman driver craving superior performance and exclusivity.
Bespoke Construction
Every detail of the Carmen Sagrera is carefully tailored to its owner’s preference. This hypercar’s journey begins with the pre-assembly of components and customer-specific configurations that ensure each model is genuinely unique, reflecting Hispano Suiza’s commitment to "hyper lux" customization.
The Craftsmanship Process: Phase by Phase
Pre-Assembly and Battery Production
The initial assembly involves precision crafting of essential subcomponents such as subframes, suspension, and dashboards. The Carmen Sagrera features an in-house manufactured 103-kWh battery, which debuted last year, offering an impressive range of up to 480 km. Simultaneously, advanced high-voltage wiring systems are meticulously constructed to complement this luxury vehicle.
Assembly of the Carbon-Fiber Chassis
When constructing the Carmen Sagrera’s foundation, expert artisans assemble various body elements to the carbon-fiber monocoque manually. This phase ensures each component fits seamlessly, laying the groundwork for the interior installation.
Painting, Upholstery, and Rolling Chassis Assembly
Customized paint choices, achieved through hand-sprayed precision, highlight the Carmen Sagrera’s exterior allure. Meanwhile, the interior showcases high-quality upholstery options such as Alcantara and leather, carefully crafted to the owner’s specifications. The fitment of essential systems like wiring, cooling, and suspension components culminates in a fully ready rolling chassis.
Final Assembly and Infotainment Installation
As production nears completion, the focus shifts to fine-tuning interiors and installing cutting-edge infotainment systems for unparalleled driving comfort. The final touches include the addition of the iconic stork emblems, ensuring the vehicle stands as a testament to the brand’s luxurious heritage.
Final Validation and Handover
The Carmen Sagrera undergoes rigorous validation tests, conducted both on the road and at Spain’s Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya. This meticulous process guarantees that each hypercar meets its exacting standards before being entrusted to its new owner, who can experience the ultimate in driving exhilaration.
In conclusion, the Hispano Suiza Carmen Sagrera is not just a car; it is a symbol of luxury and technological prowess, crafted with passion and precision. This hypercar seamlessly blends Hispano Suiza’s rich heritage with groundbreaking innovations to deliver an unmatched driving masterpiece.
