The Hispano Suiza, presented almost two years ago, was presented to the world as the relaunch of the brand, once the legal issues that had and still are had been resolved. a difficult entanglement between Hispano Suiza and Hispano-Suiza.

In any case, the heirs of Damian Mateu, one of the two founders of the firm together with the Swiss engineer Marc Birkigtada, his great-grandsons, promoted the revival of the car brand as a manufacturer of luxury vehicles within the electric automobile industry.

The sum of this would be the manufacture of Only 20 units of Carmen, the name given to this reformulation of the brand concept in honour of Mateu's granddaughter, one of them would remain in the hands of the Grup Peralada, a consortium of the Suqué Mateu family, and, after the acceptance of the vehicle at the Swiss event where it was exhibited to the world, it was decided to launch the spectacular Hispano Suiza Carmen Boulogne.
