Although it looks like a car taken out of an old wardrobe, this wonderful creature has never actually existed. But the man behind it wants to transform it into something real, with some help from Elon Musk, the chief of Tesla Motors.

The icon is an American company that made a beautiful habit out of modernizing, underneath, very old cars. In other words, the design from a few decades ago remains unchanged, while all the technical part is modernized with new engines, new suspensions, new brakes (well, you must have gotten the idea).

This time, Jonathan Ward, Icon's founder, wants to make a big step towards creating his own car, from zero, which he calls Helios, after the Greek god of the sun. And because the company's philosophy must not change whatsoever, Ward intends to use the full traction system on the future Tesla Model X, according to Jalopnik.

In other words, you will have a nice smooth exterior with a lion inside it. The inspired design from the fight airplanes from the First World War will be completed with a 100% electric propulsion system.

For now, Icon Helios is only in the draft stage, but according to Ward, 'this is a concept that will make me move mountains in order to figure out how to build it'.
