Hispano Suiza Carmen Boulogne EV at Goodwood Festival of Speed

The Hispano Suiza Carmen Boulogne electric hyper car raced at the Goodwood Festival of Speed hill climb and was viewed by many of the nearly 200,000 people there at the weekend, even though the Saturday July 15 event was cancelled due to bad weather.

The brand presented its renewed corporate identity at the festival, held July 13-16.

Hispano Suiza driver ambassador and former Formula 1 driver Luis Pérez-Sala was accompanied by several automotive influencers on the hill climb, the Hispano Suiza Carmen Boulogne featuring in the festival’s 30th anniversary.

The hill climb allowed Hispano Suiza to test its new batteries and provided data for its technical team to analyse.

The Hispano Suiza Carmen Boulogne also appeared at last year’s Monterey Car Week event.

Hispano Suiza is a historic Spanish automotive brand owned by the Suqué Mateu family, now in its fourth generation, chaired by Miguel Suqué Mateu, great-grandson of Hispano Suiza’s founder Damián Mateu.

In 2019, the brand presented the Hispano Suiza Carmen, its new 100% electric hypercar, and a year later the Hispano Suiza Carmen Boulogne. A total 24 exclusive units will be produced.

The first Carmen Boulogne was delivered in the US in 2022.
