The Hispano-Suiza Maguari is a sports car developed by Hispano Suiza Automobilmanufaktur.
History
[edit]
The Maguari was previewed by the Hispano-Suiza V10 Supercharged which was presented at the Geneva Motor Show in 2010.[2] The Maguari was presented in March 2019. In February 2022, Hispano Suiza Engineering (HSE) filed for bankruptcy.[3] Two prototypes of the vehicle existed at this point.
On 1 March, Hispano Suiza Automobilmanufaktur announced that series production of the 300 vehicles had started with a price tag of €2.2 million.[4] In August, however, the insolvency administrator filed criminal charges against HSE for business and credit-damaging behavior by management, fraudulent creditors, and possibly fraud.[5] The insolvency proceedings were completed in December and prototypes of the vehicle could not be found.[6]
The name of the vehicle comes from the Maguari stork.[4]
Specifications
[edit]The Maguari originally intended to offer a 5.2-liter V10 mid-engine with twin turbochargers and a maximum output of 798 kW (1085 hp) from Lamborghini. The information was changed at the start of production. The production model now has a displacement of 5.5 liters and a maximum output of 883 kW (1200 hp). The Maguari accelerates to 100 km/h (62 mph) in around 2.8 seconds and the top speed is limited to 360 km/h (220 mph).[4][7]
