This supercar is made out of titanium - and can go 220mph - Business Insider
Design house Icona has returned with a second iteration of its Vulcano supercar that we first saw in 2013 . Icona was founded in Turin but based in Shanghai and specializes in exporting Italian automotive design and engineering services to firms... Icona hasn’t ruled out building a small run of Vulcanos for public sale and at the past weekend’s Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance the company showed off a new version that’s much closer to becoming a production reality than the original. This is because while the original Vulcano was simply envisaged to come with a hybrid system built around either a V-12 engine or twin-turbocharged V-6, the latest version, dubbed the Vulcano Titanium, packs a supercharged 6. 2-liter LS9 V-8... As its name suggests, the Vulcano Titanium features plenty of light yet sturdy titanium in its construction. The engine is positioned in front of the cabin but behind the front axle, creating a front-midship positioning for improved handling and dynamics. With the current setup, Icona says the Vulcano Titanium will accelerate to 60 mph from rest in just 2. 8 seconds, pass 120 mph in 8. 8 seconds, and reach a top speed of 220 mph.
