The Icona Vulcano car, presented at the Private Motor Show in 2013, continues to fuel desires. Published in a single copy, which costs around €3 million, it could be a limited run if investors are waiting for.
The Icona Vulcano, a flamboyant car design
Developed in China by an Italian company, who wished to be closer geographically of the world’s largest car market, the Icona Vulcano has all the characteristics of traditional Italian race cars.
Declined in bright red, it reveals a synonym of an aggressive and energetic leadership resolutely sporting lines. However the vehicle has more elegant look thanks to its fine features, its bonnet and wings have been slightly refined.
The glittering allure of the Icona Vulcano is reminiscent of the most famous car brands dominating the circuit, like Ferrari or Bugatti. The concept car is still apart from its competitors by its exclusive appearance. Samuel Chuffart, designer at the helm of this ambitious project, says it wants to differentiate from mass production cars. The car is expected to be released in only five copies by fall 2014.
Two high-tech engines for Icona Vulcano
Two high-powered engines were considered for this car out of the ordinary. The first is a 790 horsepower V12 engine, called H-Turismo. With this system, developed by Claudio Lombardi and inspired by Formula 1, the Icona Vulcano happen to easily reach 930 horses. This process would also allow to pass the exercise of 0/100 km/h in less than 3 seconds and reach 200 km/h in under 10 seconds.
A second hybrid engine, of 3.8L biturbo and named H-competizione, has in turn had being imagined to be coupled with two electric motors to increase it to 870 horses and go from 0 to 100km/h in just 2.9 seconds.
According to Samuel Chuffart, other technologies could also be implemented to increase the power of the vehicle by the beginning of its production.
Exclusive models of Icona Vulcano should be sold at a price of $ 3.8 million.
