The Aston Martin Vulcan will officially make its first appearance in North America at the New York Auto Show next week.
Fronting a new seven-car display led by CEO Dr Andy Palmer, the Vulcan will be joined by examples from the current Aston Martin product range in North America including the new Vanquish Carbon, Rapide S, DB9, V12 Vantage S and the V8 Vantage GT Roadster.
Dubbed as the brand’s "most intense and exhilarating creation to date", the Vulcan has a naturally-aspirated 7.0-liter V12 engine with more than 800 hp, mated to a six-speed sequential transmission. The automaker said the car has a power-to-weight that exceeds GTE race cars that compete in the FIA World Endurance Championship.
Besides the almighty engine, the Vulcan features a bespoke suspension with adjustable dampers and adjustable anti-roll bars. There's also a variable traction control system and a Brembo braking system with racing calipers, carbon ceramic racing discs and a driver-adjustable anti-lock braking system.
Production will be limited to 24 units and buyers will be offered the opportunity to participate in an extensive track training program.
