With inspiration from the “world’s fastest plane”, the Blackbird SR-71, in the backs of their minds, the design team at ICONA manifested the world’s first titanium body car: the ICONA Vulcano. ICONA design director, Samual Chuffart states in a press release that the Blackbird SR-71’s, “sharp and dramatic silhouette complimenting its sensual surface transitions was key to the styling of the Vulcano.”

Under the hood, the Vulcano features a “mid-front engine calibrated for homologated roda and race use.” The supercharged V8 pushes 670 hp with a 0-60 time of 2.8 seconds. The Vulcano is truly a step into the future and as Chuffart states in the video below, the Vulcano was built in Italy “by people not afraid to take a new path and to explore new direction.”
