Hispano claims the Suiza can also run on electric power alone over small distances.
Its 0-60mph time is claimed to be just 3.4sec and it can reach a top speed of more than 200mph.

Answer me this? Marmite original or vegemite substitute?
Re: Hispano's Audi R8 launched
This has got to be one of the most stunning and innovative cars of the year!
What a great idea to take an existing car with proven engineering,make it even more powerful and give it a futuristic body style.
It looks stunning and I can only urge people to try and see it "in the flesh" as the photographs do not do it justice ! Well done Hispano Suiza and I want one !
Re: Hispano's Audi R8 launched
Another attempt at reviving a famous name that probably won't get beyond the concept stage.
