The Icona Vulcano is a sports car designed by Icona Design and manufactured by Cecomp. Only three have been built, each with a different powertrain.
History
The Vulcano was presented at the Auto Shanghai in 2013. Designed by Samuel Chuffart, its production was limited to a single model, and its price was around 3 million euros.[1][2]
Specifications
The Icona Vulcano's chassis is the work of former Ferrari director Claudio Lombardi, designer of multiple world champion cars. The vehicle was offered with a choice of two hybrid engines: the 950 horsepower (710 kW; 960 PS) H-Turismo, which consists of a V12 developing 790 horsepower (590 kW; 800 PS) combined with a 160 horsepower (120 kW; 160 PS) electric motor; and the 870 horsepower (650 kW; 880 PS) H-Competizione consisting of a 3.8-litre twin-turbo V6 combined with two electric motors.[3] The exterior color is a shade described as "flamboyant red".[1]
Vulcano Titanium
The Vulcano Titanium is an improved version of the Vulcano, which is made of titanium. It is equipped with a 6.2 L supercharged V8 engine sourced from Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, developing 670 PS (493 kW; 661 hp) and 820 N⋅m (605 lb⋅ft) of torque. This allows it to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 2.8 seconds, 0 to 200 km/h (124 mph) in 8.6 seconds, and reach a top speed of over 355 km/h (221 mph).[4][5] Just like the Vulcano, only one Vulcano Titanium was produced, and its price was listed at 2.4 million euros. The interior features a modified steering wheel from the Ferrari 458, a TFT display used for the instrument cluster, a vertically-oriented TFT display for the infotainment system, an array of toggle switches, and seats made by Sabelt.[5]
