It packs a 5.0L Mustang V8 with 446bhp

If the new Ford Bronco feels too modern for your taste, Icon has just unleashed a restomod gem from 1975, aptly named the 'New School'. Ironically, it’s anything but old-fashioned, featuring the roaring 5.0-litre 'Coyote' V8 from a Ford Mustang. 

This beast churns out 446bhp and enough torque to rival Iron Man after a few pints, all directed to the four wheels via a five-speed manual transmission. The mechanical toy box doesn’t end there. Brembo brakes ensure it stops on a dime, while ARB locking differentials at both axles and chunky Goodrich K02 all-terrain tyres on 18-inch aluminium alloys ensure it’s ready for anything. The elevated body, wrapped in military green satin with sleek black trims, sits proudly on a robust coilover suspension setup that screams off-road readiness.

Step inside, and you'll find a blend of luxury and ruggedness. The Alcantara headliners and suede leather upholstery provide a plush feel, while carbon fibre accents adorn the dashboard, giving it a modern twist. This meticulous attention to detail extends to every corner of the cabin, ensuring a comfortable and stylish ride, whether you’re cruising city streets or tackling rough trails.

Icon has truly gone all out with this restomod. The attention to detail is evident not just in the powertrain and suspension but also in the overall aesthetic. The military green satin wrap contrasts beautifully with the black trims, creating a visually striking vehicle that's as tough as it looks. The floating centre caps on the 18-inch aluminium alloys draw attention to the height and stance of the vehicle, emphasizing its off-road capabilities.

Pricing for Icon’s New School Bronco starts at £215,000, but expect this to increase significantly depending on how many boxes you tick on the options list. With a starting price like that, it's clear this isn't just a casual weekend cruiser. It’s a statement piece, a nod to classic design infused with modern engineering. The 'New School' Bronco is the perfect mix of vintage charm and contemporary muscle, ready to conquer any terrain you throw at it. 

So, whether you’re a die-hard Bronco fan or just someone who appreciates the blend of old-school cool and new-school tech, this Icon creation is bound to impress. We can't wait to see it in action and experience the thrill of driving this off-road masterpiece. Are you ready to take the wheel?
