The Reborn of a Legend
Hispano Suiza was founded in Barcelona in 1904 and it’s reborn now with Carmen, an all-new fully-electric luxury car. Carmen fusions the timeless elegance and character inherited from the legendary brand with cutting-edge motorsport’s technology, designed to deliver an exceptional driving experience.
In CERO we’ve been involved in the design of the bespoke interior, inspired by the Dubonnet Xenia model, an iconic car design from the 1930’s.
The passenger cabin is an exquisite two-seat cockpit embedded into a hyper-car carbon fibre tub.
The dashboard merges sportiness and tradition using real wood veneers and machined high-grade aluminium, fitted with authentic toggle switchgears and a classic clockface on the centre. The triangular gear selector is a direct legacy of the art deco steel triangle featured on mythic Hispano Suiza cars. Upholstery is hand-trimmed with a combination of the finest leather and Alcantara. LED strip lights are hidden along the door panels and in the footwells creating a welcoming ambient.
Refinement is apparent throughout the interior perfectly balancing a sporty atmosphere with luxury and comfort.
