Le moteur de l’Aston Martin Vulcan
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.
La Vulcan ne pourra être utilisée que sur les circuits. Seulement 24 exemplaires seront produits au cours des mois à venir. Dans les entrailles, un moteur V12 7.0 litres, implanté en position centrale avant. La puissance est envoyée aux roues arrière. Aston Martin affirme 800 ch ! La boîte de vitesses est une séquentielle à 6 rapports.
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.
La Vulcan, qui reprend la base de la One-77, possède une carrosserie en fibre de carbone, un immense aileron, le freinage confié à Brembo avec disques en carbone-céramique, 380 mm de diamètre à l’avant et 360 mm à l’arrière. La Vulcan est montée sur jantes 19 pouces chaussées de pneus Michelin.
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.

La Vulcan donnerait des indications sur les lignes des futures Aston Martin. On peut observer les fines optiques de la Vulcan et sa calandre au ras du sol.
‘Taking the extensive learning from our various successful racing programmes and applying it to this exceptional track car for customers has been an exciting and sometimes challenging task for the team here at Gaydon.’
‘Our deep and broad motorsport experience, allied to our renowned road car expertise, has allowed us to make the Aston Martin Vulcan the absolutely compelling proposition it is today.’
- David King, Aston Martin Director of Special Projects and Motorsport

‘A sports car for true sports car lovers, I believe the Aston Martin Vulcan – and the unique ownership programme that sits behind it – sets a whole new standard in the ultra-high luxury supercar class.’
- Dr Andy Palmer, CEO of Aston Martin
