The 800-plus bhp, all carbon fibre, Aston Martin Vulcan delivered on its promise of truly extreme performance with a series of spine-tingling sprints up the famous hill climb with Aston Martin Racing works' driver Darren Turner at the wheel.

Powered by the most potent iteration yet of the company's naturally aspirated, 7.0-litre V12 petrol engine, the Aston Martin Vulcan is predicted to be capable of sprinting from rest to 100km/h in less than three seconds, and achieving a top speed of more than 321km/h. 

The new car's 800-plus bhp powerplant has been developed in conjunction with Aston Martin Racing and the front mid-engined, rear-wheel drive sports car draws extensively on the brand's rich GT motorsport experience. 

Comprising cutting edge engineering 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.

The new supercar is limited to just 24 examples worldwide and has been designed to  allow owners the opportunity to precisely tailor their track day experience through a graduating scale of detailed power and dynamic performance adjustments.
