A Canadian company named Anibal Automotive was previously known as an automotive tuner company who was very familiar with Porsche engines.

These Anibal Icon R 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. Whereas the Turbo S has 552 hp, Anibal claims their car will deliver a phenomenal power of 920 hp.

Visually, the car has a wild and unique design to cut the air, and the semi-open front makes the car has an open-wheeler racing car style. Large openings on each side of the pointed nose highlight the active elements to set the aerodynamic factors while drive it on the streets.
Reportedly, these Canadian startup company intends to build only 50 units of the Icon R, plus 5 units of Icon RR edition which looks more extreme. But they has yet to disclose the car pricing until today. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | ANIBALICON | MOTOR1 | CARSCOOPS]
