Perhaps Icona (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/icona/) didn't get the message that it's safe to reveal the entirety of the Vulcano (http://www.autoblog.com/2013/03/23/icona-vulcano-one-off-supercar-headed-for-shanghai/) now that the Shanghai Motor Show (http://www.autoblog.com/shanghai-motor-show/) is underway, but we'll enjoy the half we can see and admit that we didn't expect to like it as much as we do. There's some Lexus LFA (http://www.autoblog.com/lexus/lfa/) DNA in the face, some Ferrari 599 (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/ferrari+599|599/) and F12 Berlinetta (http://www.autoblog.com/ferrari/f12+berlinetta/) in the profile and a backside we've never seen before; the entire package manages a note all its own. At least, with the half we can see.
The placard next to the Vulcano (http://www.autoblog.com/photos/icona-volcano-shanghai-2013/full/#photo-5827678) presents more information than we know how to decipher at the moment: it weighs either 3,509 pounds or 3,597 pounds and has 870 or 950 horsepower depending on your choice of powertrain, those driveline options apparently being either gasoline, hybrid, two-wheel drive or four-wheel drive. The sprint from 0-60 miles per hour is either 2.9 or 3.0 seconds, and the top speed is 217 miles per hour. And if the lead image on Icona's site (http://iconapassionedotcom.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/icona_vulcano-inter6.jpg) is to be believed, the Vulcano has a seven-speed transmission, a rev counter that goes to 10,000, a horsepower meter and a seriously futuristic digital dashboard.
Icona hasn't released the trove of details it must know everyone is waiting for - like if this is really just a one-off - so we'll update the post when we get it. For now there's a brief press release below (http://motorgen.com/2013/04/20/icona-vulcano-shanghai-2013/#continued) and the high-res gallery above.Continue reading Icona Vulcano does a sultry striptease in Shanghai (http://www.autoblog.com/2013/04/20/icona-vulcano-shanghai-2013/)
