2019 Hispano Suiza Carmen Dimensions, Size & Specs

The curb weight of the Hispano Suiza Carmen is 1690 kg (3726 pounds). This weight is kept relatively low for a car with such luxury fittings and electric performance capabilities. The balanced weight contributes to both stability at high speeds and agility in handling, ensuring a dynamic driving experience while maintaining the comfort expected from a luxury coupe.

The Carmen features staggered tire sizes: 305/30 R20 on the front and 265/30 R19 on the rear, mounted on 20-inch front rims and 19-inch rear rims respectively. This setup enhances grip and cornering stability, improving overall performance, while also providing a smooth and comfortable ride consistent with its luxury GT character.

A standard residential garage usually measures about 2438 mm (8 feet) in width and 4877 mm (16 feet) in length. With a width of 2040 mm (80.3 inches) and length of 4733 mm (186.3 inches), the Carmen fits within length limits with some clearance, but the width is quite close to garage door widths, so it will fit though it may be a tight squeeze depending on the specific garage size and any storage along the sides.

The 2019 Hispano Suiza Carmen is a modern reinterpretation of the classic Hispano Suiza brand, so it does not have a direct recent predecessor. Historically, Hispano Suiza models from the early 20th century were quite different in size and purpose, more oriented to luxury touring cars and limousines. The Carmen reflects a shift towards a compact and high-performance electric coupe with dimensions (4733 mm long, 2040 mm wide) optimized for modern sports luxury rather than the much larger, more traditional luxury cars of the past.

The Carmen's width of 2040 mm (80.3 inches) is notably wide for a two-door coupe. This width contributes to increased lateral stability, allowing sharper cornering and better control at high speeds. A broader track enhances road grip and ensures the car has a commanding presence on the road, visually accentuating its luxurious and sporty character.

Standing at 1242 mm (48.9 inches), the Carmen's low height helps reduce aerodynamic drag and lowers the center of gravity for enhanced handling performance. The coupe’s sleek, low roofline also creates a sporty silhouette while offering a driver-focused interior experience, blending aerodynamics with luxury design cues.

When compared to similar luxury electric supercars such as the Rimac Nevera or Lotus Evija, the Carmen is competitive in size. With a length of 4733 mm, it is somewhat longer than some competitors, giving it a grand touring flair. Its width of 2040 mm is comparable, offering similar road grip and stability. The Carmen’s weight at 1690 kg is relatively light for its segment, reflecting Hispano Suiza's focus on combining performance and luxury.

Despite its relatively low height of 1242 mm, the Carmen is designed to maximize interior space efficiency typical for a two-door luxury coupe. Its width of 2040 mm facilitates a comfortable cabin with enough shoulder room for the driver and passenger. The coupe design prioritizes driver engagement and luxury features while balancing aerodynamic lines with interior comfort.

The Hispano Suiza Carmen (2019) incorporates cutting-edge electric propulsion within a body that melds modern aerodynamic efficiency with vintage stylistic cues. Dimensionally, it offers a wide and low stance at 2040 mm width and 1242 mm height, which is modern compared to many traditional coupes that tend to be narrower and taller. This modern sizing enhances both performance and comfort, providing superior road handling and a striking, futuristic aesthetic.
