This new firm promising a potent supercar is instead based in Montreal, Canada. Dubbed Anibal Automotive, the company has just
previewed its very first model, dubbed the Icon. Like many before it, it’s
making big claims.
Unlike many supercar startups which look to build
their cars from the ground up, the Anibal Icon is based around the Porsche 911
Turbo S and therefore uses the same chassis and twin-turbo six-cylinder engine
as the German sports car. But, whereas the Turbo S has 552 hp, Anibal claims
the icon will deliver a phenomenal 920 hp.
Visually, the Icon bares absolutely no resemblance
to the 911, except for its use of similar taillights. The front includes large
wheel arches that protrude out of the bodywork, a hood that narrows as it joins
to the bumper and a pair of large air intakes to inevitably cool the front
brakes and help with airflow.
Anibal hopes to build 50 examples of the Icon but
has yet to disclose pricing.
