£2.6m Icona Vulcano supercar to set Salon Privé on fire with British debut of 'an exciting new brand'
Salon Privé has confirmed the Icona Vulcano will make its UK debut this September.
Icona was established in 2010 and launched with an electric concept car the Fuselage, which was a finalist at the 27th Festival Automobile International in Paris in the World’s Most Beautiful Concept Car competition.
Icona has since developed the Vulcano, a glamorous two-door, two-seater super sport, which made its world premiere in Shanghai earlier this year. Salon Privé will provide the first opportunity to see this V12 Hybrid one-off, ultra high performance car in the UK.
Reaching up to 950 hp, the Vulcano has a top speed as high as 350 km/h and a staggering acceleration of under nine seconds for 0-120 mph. The Vulcano was engineered by world famous former Scuderia Ferrari technical director Claudio Lombardi.
Sales Director David Bagley said: “Icona is a very exciting new brand and we are delighted that it has chosen Salon Privé for the UK debut of the Vulcano. It’s a beautiful car and it is going to look fantastic within the Concepts & Prototypes Display.”
