    but there is no niche on FChat for Chinese cars so I filed this tidbit on the Icona Vulcano under Italian. I consider it but a blatant copy of the F12 berlinetta, but hey, it's just a showpiece for Italian design capability, the Italians saying in effect to the Chinese: "You tell us what'cha want, we'll build a prototype." It is supposed to be displayed at Pebble. Best thing about it is the Corvette engine. Kind of reminds me of the original goal of Iso of Bresso, to make Italian cars with Corvette engines (but maybe this time built in China?) Anyhow if anyone knows where the roll-out party is, let us know-- will we have Chinese or Italian food? Or how about Chinese food and Italian wine?

    Well, the engine pic above appears to have a few more cylinders and camshafts than a Corvette.. looks interesting.

    I kind of like how that thing looks.. wow!!!

    Hi,

    Looked these guys up. A group of Italian designers focusing on the Chinese auto industry. Does anyone know if any of their designs have reached mass production (Chinese or otherwise?).

    Regards,

    Ramin
