This crazy looking thing is the new Aston Martin Vulcan. Top name! It’s a track-only limited edition (just 24 will be made) and is powered by a 7.0 litre V12 engine.
“Aston Martin Vulcan is, by its very nature, a rare and thrilling supercar,” declared CEO, Dr Andy Palmer. “Designed and engineered to deliver a genuinely bespoke driving experience that draws on our rich heritage, this car tailors its power and handling to both the capabilities of the driver and the characteristics of the track.
“A sports car for true sports car lovers, I believe the Aston Martin Vulcan—and the unique ownership programme that sits behind it—sets a whole new standard in the ultra-high luxury supercar class.”
The preparatory driver training program will commence in 2016 and features Aston Martin’s factory racing driver Darren Turner. Customers will start with lesser models such as the V12 Vantage S and One-77 road cars and the Vantage GT4 race car. And then, of course, they will finally graduate to the mighty Vulcan!
The Vulcan will be on public display at the Geneva Motor Show this week.
