Hispano Suiza is set to participate in the prestigious Monterey Car Week, the leading motoring event in the United States during the summer season, running from August 9 to 18. The Californian city of Carmel-by-the-Sea and its surrounding areas attract around 100,000 attendees, including collectors, enthusiasts, and celebrities from various fields.

One of the highlights of Monterey Car Week is The Quail, ‘A Motorsport Gathering’. Here, Hispano Suiza will unveil the Carmen Sagrera to the American public. This hypercar, boasting a new design, 1,114 hp, and a 103 kWh battery, celebrates the company’s 120 years of history.

The Hispano Suiza stand will feature a merchandising area showcasing its new Capsule Collection, a hospitality area, and an exhibition space. The Carmen Sagrera will be officially presented at a press conference on August 16 at 11:00 am (local time).

Hispano Suiza’s rich history continues to be relevant today, a fact that will be highlighted at The Quail. The brand will in fact showcase the iconic 1938 Hispano Suiza Xenia Dubonnet, a model that inspired the current range of hypercars. Built on the chassis of the Hispano-Suiza H6B, with a body designed by aerodynamics expert Jean Andreau and handcrafted by Jacques Saoutchik, the Xenia was one of the most extravagant and aerodynamic cars of its time.

The celebration of Hispano Suiza’s 120th anniversary will be further honored with an exhibition in the exclusive Chairman’s Lounge.

According to Sergio Martínez Campos, CEO of Hispano Suiza: “Presenting the Carmen Sagrera in the United States on our 120th anniversary is a significant milestone for us. We couldn’t imagine a better setting than Monterey Car Week, and specifically, The Quail. For the third year in a row, we are sponsoring an event that allows us to provide a unique experience to our customers and partners in a key market for us.”

Another highlight of Monterey Car Week will take place on the evening of Thursday, August 15. As part of its partnership with the Petersen Museum in Los Angeles, Hispano Suiza is sponsoring an industry talk at the Bonhams auction house in Carmel. The conference will focus on the anniversary of Hispano Suiza and the evolution of the electric hypercar industry. The talk will feature Sergio Martínez Campos, CEO of Hispano Suiza, and Juan Fernández, CTO of the brand.
