Hispano-Suiza HS21
(2000)
At the 2000 International Motor
Show of Geneva, you were surprised with the rebirth of the legendary
Hispano-Suiza.
Mazel, an engineering-company
from Spain, presented the HS21,
a prototype of a supersportscar, powered by a BMW-engine.
One of the most important design-elements is the "nostalgic"
radiator-grill.
But the car shows also several other similarities
with another revival car, the Bugatti prototypes18/3,
or 18/4, which was changed into the 16/4
Veyron concept car.
Mazel has also an agency
at Wolfsburg, Germany, the home of Volkswagen,
and Volkswagen will produce the Bugatti. A
coincidence?
In
2001, Mazel showed the K8,
a luxury sedan.
2002,
they presented, again, a sportscar, the HS21-GTS.
And in 2004, I was surprised
to see a repainted HS21 at the Geneva
Motor Show, again.
