Vintage looks with a modern heart. Prepare to expand your dream garage...

The result is a flat roar, unsubtle and glorious, accompanied by levelled arcs of sand spewing horizontally backwards from all four wheels. The rear squats hard, the back wheels tuck right up into the arches until the tops of the tyres disappear, and the Bronco launches forwards and up the dune like a peculiar type of noisy desert goat. Back off near the top (or on the road, for that matter), and the Icon mutes slightly, gobbles like a two-tonne turkey and then backfires through the ceramic-coated exhaust like a close-quarters gunshot. The first time it happens, you'll jump. After that, you'll just laugh.
