Icona Vulcano: Beauty And The Beast Come Together

Inspiration for the Vulcano came from the world's fastest plane, the Blackbird SR-71.

This is one-off creation from Italian design house Icona and is the world's first with its unique titanium and carbon fiber body. Icona Vulcano is a two-seater luxury sports car of Italian origin that was presented at the International Motor Show in Shanghai in 2013. The naked titanium body is a sculpture, revealing its 10,000 hours of hand-crafted work in the most pure form. The Vulcano's strongly sculpted body side and voluptuous shapes evacuate the hot air from the engine and reduce air turbulence generated by the wheels. The Vulcano Titanium was built by Cecomp, an Italian coachbuilder with a long and glorious history. The powertrain is the work of Claudio Lombardi, ex-Scuderia Ferrari director and mastermind of numerous world champion cars with Mario Cavagnero, the man behind the Lancia Racing team and father of the engine of many championship-winning cars.



The design of the Icona Vulcano is an evolution of the very advanced form language which was first introduced on the Icona Fuselage concept in 2011. The aim of the design approach is to express the amazing capabilities of this extremely powerful car, while maintaining harmonious and generous shapes. The Vulcano embodies the best in Italian design and engineering. Reaching upto 950hp through an igneous combination of combustion engine and electric motors, all encased in beautiful design.
