Aston Martin’s Vulcan Hypercar Is Crazy
Aston Martin’s new, limited edition supercar is creating a mass of hysteria with it’s insane design and its flames that actually shoot out of its side-exit exhausts.

The most extreme Aston Martin ever made, it boasts a 7.0-liter V12 engine, and an upwards of 800 braking horse power.
The Vulcan is constructed around a two-seated carbon fiber monocoque and body allowing for a greater power-to-weight ratio. Along with the V12 engine mounted front-midship, there’s an Xtrac six-speed sequential gearbox and a magnesium drive shaft.
The Vulcan has a 2.8-meter wheelbase, with the wheels equipped with ceramic racing brake discs measuring 380 mm in diameter at the front and 360 mm at the rear.
Other track handling bits include push rod suspension with adjustable dampers and anti-roll bars at the front and rear, driver-adjustable anti-lock braking, and variable traction control.
This car is so extreme that you cannot even take it to the roads. It is built for “track only” driving, and new owners are offered a free program of “intensive track driver training.” The instructions during this “driving school” are being given by Aston Martin Racing drivers such as Le Mans-winner Darren Turner.
This will be a limited-run model, with just 24 examples being made and it comes with a $2.33 million dollar price tag.
