Electric Dreams

ELECTRIC CARS used to be just dreams. Now they’re a reality thanks to manufacturers who are pushing toward electrification.

In this issue, we take a look at some electric car concepts that are not only innovative and forward-thinking but also boast adventurous designs.

Hispano Suiza Carmen

Meet Spanish automotive/ engineering company Hispano Suiza’s electric supercar. The Carmen concept is named after the current president’s mother and Hispano Suiza founder’s granddaughter Carmen Mateu. Its styling is quite unlike any electric car we’ve seen before: it draws on Hispano Suiza vehicles of the 1930s, with its teardrop shape, chunky front end, and wildly arched wheel wells.

This retro-futuristic carbon fiber two-seater features sliding doors, an enveloping windscreen, and round headlamps and uses Formula E-developed battery tech.

Fiat Centoventi Concept

Described as a “blank canvas,” Fiat’s concept car can be customized according to your liking through the Fiat 4U program, which allows owners to choose from four roofs, four bumpers, four wheel colors, and four external wrapping.
