The core chassis of the VULCAN weighs only 180kg and took 100 hours for a 9-man team to produce.
The naturally aspirated 7.0 litre V12 engine was designed and developed in conjunction with Aston Martin Racing drawing on their wealth of knowledge gained from over 10 years of GT racing.
The Vulcan’s steering wheel is the result of collaborations between Aston Martin Design, Beru F1, and Aston Martins GTE driver, Darren Turner.
The exhaust system is crafted entirely out of Inconel and Titanium.
Extensive CFD development and testing went into the Vulcans prominent front splitter, rear diffuser, and adjustable rear wing delivering GT3-racing levels of aerodynamic performance. Generating 324kg of downforce at 100mph. 1362kg at Vmax, the Vulcan is generating near its own body weight of downforce.
Car 16 was rapidly built by yet another dedicated team over a period of 10-14 days. Time-lapse footage of this build captures the process uniquely juxtaposing the scale of the Vulcan development, compressing the story down to 2min 29second.
