A Glimpse of the 2016 Aston Martin Vulcan Amplifies Your Pulse

The UK luxury auto name, Aston Martin, has thrown its gauntlet into the high-stakes world of track-only supercars with their bracing creation: The 2016 Aston Martin Vulcan. Akin to the mammoth energy its namesake suggests, this machine is a force to be reckoned with.

Embodying Raw Power and Precision Engineering

Birthed from a deep wellspring of motorsport experience coupled with Aston’s trademark flair for design, the all-carbon fiber constructed Vulcan promises extreme performance like never before witnessed in an Aston model. Housing over 800 bhp within its sleek frame, it offers owners an exclusive opportunity of tailoring their racing escapades via detailed power and dynamic adjustments that place them squarely at the helm.

Influenced by Motorsport Heritage

This automotive delight is solely styled by the in-house team led by Chief Creative Officer Marek Reichman. Its robust engine—a naturally-aspirated beast clocking in at seven liters—speaks volumes about what lies under the hood. The unmistakable heft and vigor are due largely to collaboration with Aston Martin Racing which spawned this front mid-engined, rear-wheel drive sports car. Drawing heavily on GT race involvement it surpasses even those esteemed machines regarding power-to-weight ratio.

To say nothing would quite do justice to its cutting-edge features; carbon fibre monocoque bodywork assembled jointly with Multimatic, integral limited-slip differential, magnesium torque tube with carbon-fiber propeller shaft, Brembo racing callipers operating on mighty carbon ceramic discs (front measuring 380mm and back coming in close at 360mm), channelled drive to fat Michelin race tires through Xtrac's six-speed sequential shift gearbox, and an anti-dive geometry suspension supported by Multimatic's DSSV adjustable dampers amongst others.

Nurturing Speed Aficionados

Purchasers of the 2016 Aston Martin Vulcan are not left to their devices. They're offered extensive track driver training programs before they take receipt of their stunning machines. These practical and theoretical exercises—ranging from high-performance Aston Martins including the V12 Vantage S and One-77 road cars and the Vantage GT4 race car—are facilitated by seasoned racers who ensure buyers will harness the explosive power capabilities of their Vulcans on world-renowned circuits in no time at all.

Moreover, under Darren Turner’s Base Performance Simulators’ wings, owners can refine their skills further without setting foot outside digital tracks—weaving through heart-stopping bends, perfecting gear shifts as well as lap times—in safety away from real-world risks.

No Shortage of Customisation

For a truly bespoke specimen of engineering prowess such as this 800-plus bhp beast unrivaled even within its class, customization does go hand in hand with ownership; be it fine-tuning driving experience or aesthetic features like color or trim options available via ‘Q by Aston Martin’ VIP sales program—a benchmark for luxury customer service.

Leaving An Indelible Trail

The allure is undeniable. The excitement palpable. With only two dozens produced globally, each one promises legacy status—an amalgamation of unmistakable Power, Beauty, and Soul unique to Astons enhanced by unmatched ownership offerings that secure its immortality within automotive history annals. Detailed specs about the ultra-exclusive 2016 track-only Aston Martin Vulcan supercar are eagerly awaited (and speculated upon) ahead of its debut later in the year.
