Before competition starts in 2016, the highly limited Aston Martin Vulcan track car officially debuted at the 2015 Geneva Auto Show.
Only 24 examples of the FIA-certified Vulcans will ever be made, with each one to go for $2.3 million. For that price, one receives a 7-liter naturally aspirated V12 making a minimum of 800 horsepower, which is sent to the Michelins in the back through a six-speed sequential gearbox.
Stopping the beast is done through Brembo race calipers mated to carbon ceramic discs, while cornering is helped by Multimatic’s Dynamic Suspension Spool Valve adjustable dampers, anti-roll bars, and push-rod suspension.
The chosen few to pilot the Vulcan will be invited to improve their skills in an intensive driving course involving a few of Aston’s offerings, including the One-77, V12 Vantage S and Vantage GT4, before competing in a one-make series in 2016.

And will most likely sit in temperature and humidity controlled private garages, unseen by the general public. Which is a very good thing if that prevents the Vulcan from influencing future designs. Lord, what a garish example of wretched excess.
Yeah, it’s pretty terrible. I do like from side profile how the front chops off inward toward the wheels, like the race cars of olde.
We truly are living in a golden era of high performance cars.
I dunno…I think we’ll see a few douchebag owned Vulcans screaming down the streets of downtown London, pissing off the locals and posting the vids on youtube….can’t wait!
Leonard Nimoy would have loved it.
I’d say this vessel could do at least Warp Five.
Normally I love Aston Martin cars but this is way over the top.
Marketed for Comic Con superstars?????????
Fugly
Yesterday we were introduced to a Bentley that looked like an Aston Martin and today to an Aston Martin that looks like a Corvette.
What will be tomorrow? A Corvette that looks like a MX-5?…
