Shanghai-based Icona’s new Vulcano supercar has boldly styled curves that demand a second look.
Debuting at the 2013 Shanghai auto show, the Icona Vulcano makes us wonder: How do you think a car with this design might fare parked next to other supercars?
The Icona design studios created the Vulcano after styling the Fuselage sedan. Perhaps in contrast to McLaren’s approach with the P1, Icona was looking for a balance between aerodynamic efficiency and beauty.
Icona says it found the best balance by focusing on simplicity and, except for the wild taillights, we can see what the company means. The front-engined car is claimed to have a 900-hp V-12 with help from electric motors (from a former Ferrari powertrain engineer), but the reason rich Chinese enthusiasts may come to Icona is its not-a-Ferrari-or-Lamborghini styling.
Vulcano’s exterior styling is dominated by boldly flared wheel wells, with pulled-back headlights and doors with unique windows.
