The Aston Martin Vulcan is a two-door, two-seater, high-performance lightweight track-only car launched in 2015 by Aston Martin at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show. The Vulcan was designed by Aston Martin's creative officer Marek Reichman, taking inspirations from the then Aston Martin current models, such as the Vantage, the DB9 and the One-77. The Vulcan is a limited edition model and only 24 cars were produced with each car priced at US$2.3 million.
A FOR ASTON MARTIN
Aston Martin Lagonda Global Holdings plc is a British independent manufacturer of luxury sports cars and grand tourers. It was founded in 1913 by Lionel Martin and Robert Bamford. Steered from 1947 by David Brown, it became associated with expensive grand touring cars in the 1950s and 1960s, and with the fictional character James Bond following his use of a DB5 model in the 1964 film Goldfinger.
Their sports cars are regarded as a British cultural icon. Aston Martin has held a Royal Warrant as purveyor of motorcars to the Prince of Wales since 1982. It has over 150 car dealerships in over 50 countries on six continents, making them a global automobile brand. The company is traded at the London Stock Exchange and is a constituent of the FTSE 250 Index.
Headquarters and main production site are in Gaydon, Warwickshire, England, alongside one of Jaguar Land Rover's development centres on the site of a former RAF V Bomber airbase. One of Aston Martin's recent cars was named after the 1950s Avro Vulcan bomber. Aston Martin has announced plans to turn itself into a global luxury brand, and is increasingly branching out into projects including speed boats, bicycles, clothing and real estate development, even submarines and aircraft, mostly on a licensing basis
MOST AWESOME CAR
The Aston Martin Vulcan
Specifications
Its engine, a 7.0-litre naturally-aspirated V12, mounted in an aluminium alloy chassis with a carbon fibre body, delivers 820 hp (611 kW; 831 PS) at 7,750 rpm and 590 lb⋅ft (800 N⋅m) at 6,500 rpm. The Vulcan is fitted with carbon ceramic brakes, magnesium torque tube with a carbon fibre propeller shaft, limited-slip differential and Xtrac 6-speed sequential transmission. The car has a dry kerb weight of 1,350 kg (2,980 lb). The Vulcan uses Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires. Stopping power is aided courtesy of carbon-ceramic brakes, which measure 380 mm (15 in) at the front, 360 mm (14 in) at the rear.
Engine power is selectable using a selector knob in the car, with the first option setting the power to 500 hp (373 kW; 507 PS), the second option setting the power to 675 hp (503 kW; 684 PS), and the third and final option giving the full 820 hp (611 kW; 831 PS). The car has a race-derived pushrod suspension with anti-dive geometry and is complemented by Multimatic’s Dynamic Suspension Spool Valve (DSSV) adjustable dampers and anti-roll bars, front and rear driver-adjustable anti-lock braking, and variable traction control.
Like the Ferrari FXX, Ferrari 599XX, FXX-K, and the McLaren P1 GTR, the Vulcan must be approved to drive on track day events by the factory. However, unlike those cars, customers can keep the car on their own. A personal favourite of mine from this iconic brand and as always have a chilled day from the viking
