Apparently
Aston also claims the Vulcan’s power to weight ratio exceeds those of the GTE
cars which compete in the FIA’s World Endurance Championship. The car features
a carbon fibre monocoque and body, integral limited-slip differential,
magnesium torque tube with carbon fibre propeller shaft and Brembo racing calipers
with 380mm front and 360mm rear carbon ceramic racing disc brakes housed inside
345/30 R19 wheels. Track-derived pushrod suspension with anti-dive geometry with
Dynamic Suspension Spool Valve (DSSV) adjustable dampers and anti-roll bars
front and rear, driver-adjustable anti-lock braking, and variable traction
control, the Vulcan completely complies with all FIA race safety standards.
Aston claims
that the Vulcan’s styling sets the pace for future Aston Martin cars designing
style…we like!
Before a buyer
can take delivery of their cars, owners will be offered the opportunity to take
part in an extensive and detailed intense track driver training programme by Aston
Martin Racing’s Le Mans-winning Darren Turner to develop and increase their
ability through a carefully-constructed series of practical and theoretical
driver training events. There will also be the option of time in the virtual
race car world of Darren Turner’s Base Performance Simulators, where buyers
will have ample opportunity to further refine their driving style in the safety
of the digital race track.
David King
said: “We will be running a series of exclusive track day events commencing in
2016 that will offer the opportunity for these customers to explore their
driving capabilities, and the car’s performance potential, on some of the
world’s most famous and glamorous race circuits.”
Almost
infinitely flexible in terms of colour and trim options, the exclusive new
sports car will be offered to buyers through Aston Martin’s VIP sales programme,
using the expertise and luxury customer service that is now a hallmark of the
brand’s ‘Q by Aston Martin’ bespoke personalisation service.
Further
performance data and technical details about the Vulcan supercar, will be
released closer to its track debut later in 2015.
