The Icona Nucleus Is An Autonomous Moving Lounge That Is Our Likely Future
Icona Nucleus shows the future of transportation
The Icona Nucleus concept car has been unveiled on the Geneva Motor Show. It is a rather large vehicle with enough space for six passengers. None of which has to drive because the Nucleus is fully Level 5 autonomous.
It is not unpretty for the kind of car it represents. The company calls the Nucleus a “moving lounge”. There are sofa’s, a flat floor, a sliding door, and, I assume, a fridge full with booze. Interestingly, it has windows only on the right side. The Nucleus is 5250 mm long and 2120 mm wide.
Icona is a Italian-owned design company founded and based in Shanghai, with offices in Turin and Los Angeles. They are best known for the one-off Vulcano Titanium supercar which was offered for a staggering 9.57 million USD. The Vulcano had a body made out of titanium, hence the name, and it was powered by a Corvette ZR-1 engine with 670 hp.
The Nucleus is an electric but Icona hasn’t disclosed any information about the powertrain.
This is the front. This is the future.
