This all-electric, 1115HP, copper and carbon-trimmed beast is from historic car brand Hispano Suiza.

The name is Carmen Sagrera. The price is over $2.5 million.

The Spanish Swiss company’s heritage is echoed in the brand’s badge, in fact the taillight and start/stop button feature a stork emblem, signposting the French military squadron that the brand helped out during World War 1.

The split carbon fiber spoiler and sloped back combined with butterfly doors and velvet designs on the wheel are unlike anything you’ve seen.

With a 500km (311m) range and over 1,000hp – this dual nationality car packs some serious power.

However, the rear-view camera and touchscreen to control everything are proof this beast is about the driving experience – check out this Rolls-Royce $2.5M Phantom Scintilla with an interior that took 2.5 years to make.
