The Return of The LEDGEND
The Classic car lovers will jumps into joy as a LEGENDARY car maker
HISPANO SUIZA is back with vengeance at the Geneva Motor Show


The Gran Turismo Hispano Suiza V10 Supercharged,
including full Passionate car, the Audi R8 V10 base. Thus the benefits of an aluminum space frame cars and a 5.2-liter V10. The Hispano Suiza was however given that space frame with carbon fiber and the V10 has been accompanied by a supercharger. The result is an output of 750 hp and a maximum torque of 700 Nm.

This power goes through a hand-speed gearbox to all four wheels; a six-speed automatic with steering wheel paddles is an option. The sprint to 100 kilometer per hour takes 3.4 seconds and top speed is above 330 km / h. Alloy wheels with a diameter of 22 inches are standard equipment, like ceramic brake discs. The supercharged V10 is 4.94 meters long, 2.06 meters wide and 1.25 meters high.

At the 2000 International Motor Show of Geneva,
you were surprised with the rebirth of the legendary Hispano-Suiza.
Mazel, an engineering-company from Spain, presented the HS21, a prototype of a supersportscar, powered by a BMW-engine.

One of the most important design-elements is the "nostalgic" radiator-grill.

But the car shows also several other similarities with another revival car,
the Bugatti prototypes18/3, or 18/4, which was changed into the
16/4 Veyron concept car.

Mazel has also an agency at Wolfsburg,
Germany, the home of Volkswagen, and Volkswagen will produce the Bugatti. A coincidence?

In 2001, Mazel showed the K8, a luxury sedan.
2002, they presented, again, a sportscar, the HS21-GTS.
And in 2004, I was surprised to see a repainted HS21 at the Geneva Motor Show, again.
