Hispano-Suiza HS21-GTS Concept

Looks pretty cool....
 
i think so. not sure about the first, but i have/had a hot wheels model of the zender. that car may be near ten years old by now
 
Amazing technology for ten years ago. Still, there were a few ahead of the game.

The first one has some really nice lines. What other cars has that manufacturer made?

the hispano was driven by royalty, at least Spanish rolyalty, I think. In the twenty's thirty's, not far off in status to Duesenbergs.

seems i was right: "Spain's young King Alfonso XIII took an early interest in Hispanos, owning some 30 of them during his reign. The company recognized his loyalty by naming a model after him. The light, powerful Hispano-Suiza Alfonso XIII was introduced in 1912. Its 3.6 litre, 60-horsepower engine gave it good acceleration and a top speed of more than 100 km/h (62 mph"
 
I've seen the Fact 4 before (try saying that in a hurry!), it is in a book of supercars I have. The Hispano Suiza I remember reading an article on but hadn't seen a picture.
 
I thought Hispano-Suiza was dead. Like, seventy years ago. Anyway, they copied the McLaren F1 a bit, don't you think?

And, yeah, that Zender is an '89. So, 13 years old.
 
The Hispano Suiza is very creative indeed, love those aero kits. In fact I've heard of this car so many times I don't where and when.

The Zender too, in fact that model on the picture kinda reminds me of the Lister Storm supercar.

Crap, I can't find a way to insert some images!!!:mad:
