this car's front end reminds me of quite a few supercars out there...

LFA, 599, Aventador...

[silva95teg]

I would agree, first thing i thought of was LFA, then I saw the gauges and thought of Iron Man.

[CorneringArtist]

When I see the name Vulcano, I get nostalgic and think of Ridge Racer 4.

It's a good thing you didn't post this in the "Sick Cars in Vancouver." thread.

Tonight, on Top Gear.

A memorial for The Stig who was killed earlier this week during testing of a Chinese supercar. The car caught fire after Stig plugged his iPod into the audio system. His screams were heard as he burned alive to the Djibouti national anthem playing through the speakers.... in mono.

Icona spokesman Zhi Peng Guan issued a concise statement from his Shanghai office today.

"Supercar, only imaginable"

^LOL, El Bastardo

Would be funny since the Mexicans were unable to kill hamster.
For some reason my sense of reason thinks a Chinese car > Mexican
But what do I know

[Domani]

though chinese, for their first super car, looks pretty good and the specs are impressive on paper at least.

First supercar? :suspicious:
You obviously don't know anything about Chinese automotive industry.
China has built several supercars in the past.

Clearly neither do the Chinese.

How many of these concept cars have actually hit the showroom floor?

[dared3vil0]

Feels like the term 'supercar' is being thrown around too loosely in this thread...

Why hasn't this been moved to Timpo's bodykit thread :suspicious:

We should guess which cars each of those took their style cues from :suspicious: one of them makes me feel like I'm looking at several different cars at one time

[boostfever]

lmao @ the yellow car.

looks like a melted rubber dock.

they're not bodykits :ohgodwhy:

The thing is Chinese has the money (private and gov) to back fanciful automotive concepts, because it will move that sector up the food chain. So tons of talent are going to China right now. Besides this car is only to make a statement for Iconia as a consultancy not intended for serial production.

The fact is there are tons of design houses in Europe looking for work and work in Europe is drying up, since especially since car sales have been dropping.. so companies like Bertone expands to China.

Claudio Lombardi worked for Ferrari drivetrain and Samuel Chuffart worked for Nissan. They are pretty well known in the design community. It is just like Peter Schreyer working for Kia / Hyundai. With Lombardi doing the drivetrain, I think it will be worthy of the supercar name (if there is no IP "borrowed" from Ferrari)

I am surprised at the hostility the board has against Chinese car manufacturers (or maybe most people are too young to remember?).. eventually they will get better.. just like the Germans, Japanese and recently the Koreans.. it takes several years of iterations, they will eventually get there... Performance / Safety wise, if they can't pass Canadian emission / safety rules we won't be able to get them (most of them are pretty easy to get these days from Bosch etc), so if they offer 10 year warranties like Hyundai / Mitsu, I am sure people will try them.
