Geneva 2015: Aston Martin Vulcan Bows

by Cameron Aubernon

Published: March 3rd, 2015

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.

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?...

SaulTigh In the mid-90's I worked with a guy that drove a mid-80's T-Bird with the Essex V6. Paint was peeling and it literally didn't have an interior any longer (headliner and door panels were flat GONE, with just a crank and handle sticking out). Guy commuted about 30 miles a day and the thing would not die.He then got a much newer Pontiac and parked that T-bird under a tree. A year later, the Pontiac got totaled and he went out and put the jumper cables on that T-bird and it fired right up. Drove it another 2 years before sending it to the crusher. Impressive roach-osity for a domestic ride from that era.
Tassos Jong-iL I have many bad days, and wish my car would deal with my enemies for me. So yes please "gm" deliver this technology to One Korea.

VoGhost Interesting. The maga anti-America crowd is so used to being brainwashed into hating Tesla, they didn't realize that it's actually the foreign automakers that use slave labor.
