Exhibited at the Geneva Motor Show in last March, Aston Martin Vulcan is a limited edition supercar which becomes one of the most
expensive and fastest vehicles that have ever been made by this British
company. When the McLaren P1 and Ferrari LaFerrari are categorized as the
consumer vehicles, Vulcan specification makes it can only race on a special
circuit, it's not allowed to enter the street.
Indeed Vulcan looks very pretty. Although it still carries
some characteristic of Aston Martin, but it looks wilder and more futuristic
than its brothers. Vulcan specializes itself in a performance, and Aston Martin
doesn't mind to sacrifice luxury and comfort factors to this variant. Its body
is designed to be aerodynamic, and almost all parts are utilizing carbon fiber
material with chassis structure and integrated body.
In its debut at Goodwood competition - with Darren Turner
behind the wheel, Vulcan was armed with 2 liter V-12 machine, capable of
producing more than 800 horsepower. Vulcan didn't have difficulty to touch
speeds of 100 kilometers per hour in less than three seconds. The engine was
placed on the front to move the rear wheels through six-speed Xtrac gearbox.
Interestingly, the above list is not the final specification
of Aston Martin Vulcan. There is an opportunity for the team to boost its
performance so much better. The development of this car is based on the Aston
Martin GT family, aided by the Canadian corporation, Multimatic. Although
Vulcan focuses on speed, but Vulcan is built on safety standard of Federation
Internationale de l’Automobile.
One unit of Aston Martin Vulcan is priced at US $ 2.3
million before taxes. This price is still comparatively economical when
compared with other vehicles in the same class, for example McLaren P1 GTR
which is offered at US $ 3.3 million.
Another thing that makes the Vulcan deserves to be hunted is
the limited production factor; Aston Martin Vulcan is only produced 24 pieces
for around the world. Darren Turner will lead a team to train and assist you in
dealing with Vulcan.
