Icona Vulcano 950hp hybrid coupe makes a fiery global debut in Shanghai Motor Show

Curious way chosen by Icona to present his Icona Vulcano in the hall of Shanghai Motor Show. Have chosen to leave half of the car under the veil. Although we do not see the whole car, what we see is really nice. It is true that the design is greatly influenced by the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta , with a certain air to the Lexus LFA.

It’s defense, at least, is completely original. To the point of lacking rear window. In a car that has the engine front center position is surprising. The engine would be a V12 also can only see a single bank of cylinders, the other being covered by a veil.

Even more surprising is the data sheet or information that can be seen on the stand. The Icona Vulcano is a single model that can equip a heat engine or a hybrid engine, while power, depending on the engine chosen, it spends 870 or 950 hp. Similarly can be rear-or all-wheel drive, in both cases, according to the website of Icona-the change would double clutch and 7 relationships.

The weight of this model this sporty long 4,45 m can vary between 1.595 kg and 1,635 kg. The performance levels are a 0-100 km/h in 2.9 seconds or 3 seconds, with 400 m killed between 9.2 and 9.7 seconds. The maximum speed would be 350 km/h. Hopefully, though without much faith, that the Icona not another cute idea that lasts a couple of rooms and disappears into oblivion after a time without ever having made ​​a single copy.
