Aston Martin revealed today the Vulcan, which is going to be limited to just 24 units. Its price has not been disclosed yet, but some of its technical specifications have been revealed. The Aston Martin Vulcan is powered by a naturally-aspirated 7.0-liter V12 engine that develops more than 800 hp. The Vulcan's top speed and its 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) acceleration time have not been announced either. The engine of the Aston Vulcan is mated to a 6-speed sequential transmission and a rear-wheel-drive system. According to Aston Martin, the Vulcan has a better power-to-weight ratio than the GTE race cars that compete in the FIA World Endurance Championship. The Aston Martin Vulcan features a carbon fiber monocoque chassis and body, a limited-slip differential, and a magnesium torque tube with a carbon propeller shaft.
The Vulcan is also equipped with Brembo racing calipers acting and carbon ceramic discs measuring 380mm at the front and 360mm at the rear.
The equipment list of the Aston Vulcan also includes 19-inch alloys with Michelin racing tires, a pushrod suspension with anti-dive geometry, Multimatic Dynamic Suspension Spool Valve (DSSV) adjustable dampers and anti-roll bars front and rear, driver-adjustable anti-lock braking, and variable traction control.
The world debut of the Aston Martin Vulcan is going to take place at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show. Meanwhile, you can review its specifications here.
