I saw the prototype Iconic on March 8, 2008 at the Amelia Island Concours d’ Elegance and not even part of the car show but parked in front of the Ritz-Carlton. From their brochure and talking with them-Introducing a new standard in a Hi-Performance Luxury Vehicle the Iconic, proudly inspired, conceived, designed, and manufactured in the United States. You can see by looking at this car that it was inspired by the original 427 Shelby Cobra Roadsters it even has the 427 badges on the front fenders. This car has an 800+Horsepower 420CID (6.9 Liter) Iconic designed all aluminum V8 fuel injected, naturally aspirated engine which runs on premium pump gasoline. It has a total curb weight of only 2,200 pounds, which gives it a power to weight ratio of 2.75 lb/hp or 727.3 hp per ton, with a 200+MPH top speed. It has an advanced all carbon fiber constructed body with a hybrid steel carbon fiber reinforced chassis. Mounted on the rear of the roll bar the led lightings center group are the brake light and those to the right and left are the turn signals. The chassis features an integrated carbon fiber passenger tub. With a torsional rigidity approaching 80% of a typical Formula One race car and a Formula One derived racing C6 Corvette after market suspension. All brackets and hinges are formulated from billet aluminum as are the custom wheels at $3,000 each. With its unparalleled design & engineering tolerances this all hand assembled production vehicle will sell for a price of only $500,000 per vehicle. There will be an extremely limited production of only 100 vehicles.
I don’t think Kirkham’s has any thing to worry about.
