The First Hispano Suiza Carmen Boulogne Visits the USA, and It’s Bright Purple

Michael Fux, a car collector, purchased the limited-run EV

Michael Fux, a car collector, took delivery of the first Hispano Suiza Carmen Boulogne to arrive in the United States at the Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance. Fux has a lot of electric supercars in his garage, and this one is in Ocean Song Rose purple.

Ocean Song Rose is a carbon fiber panel with Alutex on top. This allows you to see the carbon weave beneath the purple shade. The exterior of Fux’s Carmen Boulogne is accented with subtle stripes in Birkigt White along its sides.

The wheels of this Carmen Boulogne are made from highly polished aluminum. The slots around the rim are decorated with Ocean Song Rose trim to match the rest.

The interior upholstery is mostly Birkigt White. However, there is Ocean Song Rose piped throughout the cabin including the doors and seats. Purple color is also used in the stitching throughout the cabin.

The Hispano Suiza Carmen In 2019, the company debuted 1,006 horsepower (750 Kilowatts). The company Showcased the Boulogne version at 2020 As a variant that can produce a total 1,114 horsepower (831 kW). This hotter model can travel 62 mph (100 km/h) in just 2.6 seconds. This supercar weighs 132 pounds (60 kg) less than its regular counterpart thanks to components like a revised suspension and a new sub-chassis.

The EV system is powered by an 80-kilowatt hour lithium-ion-polymer pack. According to the company, the range is more than 249 miles (400 km).

Named after the French town where the George Boillot Cup was held, the Boulogne is named after it. The event was won by a Hispano Suiza H6 coupe in 1921, 1922 and 1923.

Hispano Suiza plans on producing 19 units of the standard Carmen as well as 5 additional in Boulogne. At current exchange rates, the price of the more powerful model is EUR1.65 million ($1.8million). Fux customization may increase that price, but the company has not stated.
