This unique hypercar is the result of close collaboration between two passionate personalities. Both are proven experts in the fields of automotive, sports and technology: Benoît Morand and Eric Boullier.
This partnership, together with the family heritage of the Morand racing family, has enabled the development of this exclusive and sustainable car. The development, production and administrative offices are located in Vuadens FR, less than ten kilometers from Louis Morand's historic creative site.
This sustainable vehicle combines the technologies of Formula 1 and Le Mans. It combines state-of-the-art technology with Swiss quality standards and appears in a limited, exclusive edition in two models: Plug-in Hybrid and Full Electric.
Between heritage and the latest technology
In 1958, Louis Morand, father of Benoît Morand, founded an engine development company and quickly became a recognized force in motorsport. The Morand brand won titles in Europe, Tasmania and the USA.
More than sixty years after its creation, Benoît Morand - developer of the first hybrid car to compete in a Le Mans series - is now reworking the heritage brand to design and market a high-performance hypercar. Working with Éric Boullier, his 21 years of experience in motorsport and his nine years at the helm of prestigious teams such as McLaren F1 and Lotus F1, he secures invaluable engineering and management experience.
Korean designer
Energy management is a key aspect in the development of the hypercar. The brand relies on technologies from Formula 1 (MGU-K) and WEC (two engines on the front wheels) for energy recovery during braking.
The Hypercar was created by Korean designer Soojin Hong. Her talent, combined with high-precision and efficient Swiss technology and materials, has created a high-performance car with a design that combines aerodynamics and robustness.
From the region for the whole world
With a power output of more than 1000 hp, environmental impact as well as robustness play a central role in the development of the hypercar. Benoît Morand and Eric Boullier are working with partners from western Switzerland and suppliers from the Fribourg region.
The natural flax fibers for the car body were developed by a Freiburg-based company. They ensure a significant weight reduction of the car body while reducing the ecological footprint in production by a whopping 75% (water and energy consumption as well as CO2-footprint).
The batteries, capacitors and hybrid storage were also developed by a local company and in turn contribute to the drastic weight reduction without compromising peak performance.
