The Icona Vulcano embodies the very best in engineering and Italian style. Achieving around 950 hp via an imaginative blend of combustion engine and electric motors, all encased in a stunning design featuring voluptuous and harmonious designs, this may be actually the automobile which includes the Beauty and the Beast. The Icona Vulcano was intended by Icona Manager of Design, Samuel Chuffart.

The powertrain of the Icona Vulcano is the former powertrain technical director of Ferrari, work of wellknown Claudio Lombardi and mastermind of several world champion vehicles. Claudio Lombardi has designed two available configurations for your Icona Vulcano. The foremost is a remarkable rear wheel drive V12 connected to a sophisticated engineering gearbox that comprises a hybrid program: its electric motor synchronises the single clutch for quick gear change and balances the torque for easy and best acceleration while its added power raises the absolute power of the automobile to 950 HP.

Depending on additional development of the innovative technology, the Icona Vulcano will even become obtainable in a four wheel drive choice: this time a dual turbo V6 motor along with two electric motors for front grip will produce a complete power of 870 HP, and within an entire setup designed to become a record defeating Nurburgring champ. This blend was successfully tested just several months ago at San Marino using the Lancia 037 (Ex World Champion Rally) changed by Beppe Volta into a 4WD hybrid. Produced by ACTUA collectively with Italtecnica, the Lancia 037 4WD-H conquer its previous record in every way.

Life was started by these wheels as T66061 aerospace standard forged aluminum. Icona has chosen Pirelli P Zero ultra high performance tyres, to manage this energy. With a section within the back and 285mm section within the front, these tyres are developed using a fresh high - traction compound with an innovative racing and nanocomposites tread. The Icona Vulcano braking system is provided by Brembo. The GT-R brakes would be the best highperformance aftermarket braking system ever designed for creation. Lightweight carbon ceramic discs of 380mm all round while dissipating heat exceedingly quick reduce inertia.

HOW IT ALL STARTED

The thought for the Vulcano first emerged in 2012, when Icona was invited to display its acclaimed electric concept vehicle the Fuselage in the 27th Festival Vehicle Worldwide in Paris as a finalist on earth's Most Stunning Concept Car contest. The thought for the Icona Vulcano was created.

"The initial thought for the Vulcano was going to utilize a front engine layout, and also to utilize a firmly sculpted body aspect which may evacuate the warm air in the engine and lower the air turbulence created by the wheels. As distinct ideas came together, the most ambitious design problem which we confronted was how to produce a balance between attractiveness and strength. You danger making a lot of pleasant lines, which reduces the sensation of power, when you're attempting to produce an atmosphere of aesthetic harmony. In the flip side, should you create too much of the powerful functions that are crucial to a superb sports car for example its blades and cooling system cutouts which handle the airflow, they get graphically too dominant, which makes the car less stunning. The way in which we found the correct balance was generally by searching for the maximum simplicity" said Samuel Chuffart, Style Director of Icona.
