The Anibal Icon is a new Canadian supercar built by a company most known for tuning Porsches. That know-how was obviously put into the Icon, which has a Porsche-sourced flat-six engine making 920 horsepower. The engine is a twin-turbo and mid-mounted, with power sent to all four wheels.
The makers of the Anibal Icon say it will do 0-60 mph in 2.4 seconds. If that's not enough to turn heads then the car's design certainly will. The body is made of carbon fiber and weighs in at just 3,400 pounds. It has a brash and bold design that's also functional with several active aero elements adorning the exterior. Only 50 models are set to be made and pricing has not been revealed yet.
