F Ikon: The supercar from UAE with a Chevrolet Corvette powertrain

FLKON is a supercar brand made in the Emirates, engineered for true purists who live for the joy of driving. It is a road-legal machine designed to engage every sense, delivering an exhilarating connection between driver and car through precision engineering and uncompromising intent. Rooted in the ambition and craftsmanship of the UAE, FLKON exists to celebrate driving in its purest form.

The 5.5-liter Chevrolet V8 LT6 engine installed in the Corvette Z06 could soon appear in another exotic supercar. Its development was recently announced by the startup F lkon Cars. According to the project's creators, the car called F lkon will become the first national supercar of the United Arab Emirates.

Planned as a competitor to Ferrari and Koenigsegg models, F lkon does not even exist as a prototype yet - all photos and videos of the Arab supercar were generated using neural networks. To produce real F lkon cars, the startup from the UAE needs 88 million dirhams, or almost 20.5 million euros. F Ikon Cars plans to raise this amount by attracting investors.

The Corvette Z06's 5.5-liter Chevrolet V8 LT6 engine, with dual overhead camshafts in each head of the aluminum block, a flat crankshaft and a dry sump lubrication system, could soon appear in another exotic supercar. Its development was recently announced by the startup F lkon Cars. According to the project's creators, the car, called F lkon, will become the first national supercar of the United Arab Emirates.

Planned as a competitor to Ferrari and Koenigsegg, F lkon does not even exist as a prototype yet - all photos and videos of the Arab supercar were generated using neural networks. To produce real F lkon cars, the UAE startup needs 88 million dirhams, or almost 40 million marks. F Ikon Cars plans to raise this amount by attracting investors, who are promised a net annual income of 30 to 130 million dirhams (from 13.5 to 58.8 million KM).

If the money is raised, production of the supercar will begin in the Jebel Ali Free Zone in the UAE. According to the published marketing materials, the F Ikon will be a rear-wheel drive, mid-engine supercar, which is the best concept for true sports car enthusiasts. The F Ikon will be built on a carbon fiber monocoque, complemented by aerodynamic carbon fiber body panels with an aggressive design.

To transfer the high power of the Chevrolet V8 5.5 liter LT6 engine, buyers will be able to choose between a 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission. 

A number of customization options are also available, including gold-anodized suspension links. The exact timeframe for the start-up of the F Ikon supercar has not been announced. It will likely depend on the startup's financing. Currently, the Arab entrepreneurs have raised 65 percent of the required amount.
