Icon has revealed its first Chevrolet Suburban restomod.
California's Icon has returned with a 1970 Chevrolet Suburban restomod that packs 1,000 hp and cost its buyer a cool $1.1 million.
The projected started with a donor three-door 1970 Suburban still with its original paint. At the request of the buyer, a fourth door was added. The initials of one of the buyer's relative, who had worked on a Chevrolet production line when the 1970 Suburban was launched, were also added to the driver's door handle as a mark of respect.
For the interior, Icon's designers followed a minimalist theme inspired by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, a pioneer of modern architecture and design and with roots from the Bauhaus design school. As a result, the interior appears simple but many elements are one-off designs crafted just for the vehicle, such as the door handles, knobs, and even the seat design which is a nod to some of Mies' more famous furniture pieces.Power comes from an LS-based 7.
Icon plans to display the vehicle at its innaugural Icons of Design event which will take place on Nov. 19 at Hagerty's Garage + Social car storage facility in Van Nuys, California.
