The Aston Martin Vulcan is on track for glory

The Aston Martin Vulcan is a track-only supercar and the British luxury brand's most intense and exhilarating creation to date. Born out of extensive motorsport experience - and using the brand's acknowledged flair for design and engineering ingenuity - the 800-plus bhp, all-carbon fibre Aston Martin Vulcan promises truly extreme performance.

Uniquely for Aston Martin, the new supercar - limited to just 24 examples worldwide - will allow owners the opportunity to precisely tailor their track day experience through a graduating scale of detailed power and dynamic performance adjustments.

Styled entirely in-house by the Aston Martin design team led by Chief Creative Officer Marek Reichman, and with a design language hinting at the next generation of Aston Martin sports cars, this supercar is powered by the most potent iteration yet of the company's naturally aspirated 7.0-litre V12 petrol engine.

Comprising cutting-edge engineering including that sourced from the brand's successful GT racing campaign, the car features a carbon fibre monocoque and body constructed by Aston Martin's long-term specialist body engineering and manufacturing partner Multimatic, integral limited-slip differential, magnesium torque tube with carbon fibre propeller shaft and Brembo racing calipers acting on carbon ceramic racing disc brakes which measure 380mm in diameter at the front and 360mm at the rear.

Drive is channelled to the 19-inch 345/30 rear wheels and Michelin race specification tyres through a race-bred rear mid-mounted Xtrac six-speed sequential shift gearbox. Track-derived pushrod suspension with anti-dive geometry is complemented by Multimatic's Dynamic Suspension Spool Valve (DSSV) adjustable dampers and anti-roll bars front and rear, driver-adjustable anti-lock braking, and variable traction control. The new track car will comply with all relevant FIA race safety requirements.

Performance data, together with further technical details about the ultra-exclusive track-only supercar, will be released closer to its track debut later this year. The Aston Martin Vulcan will make its world debut on the brand's new stand at the 85^th Geneva International Motor Show.
