In-game description[]

The Vulcan is a special model of Aston Martin that was revealed at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show. Though Aston Martin had also released a 77 car limited edition 'One-77' in 2009, that was a road-going car. The Vulcan was developed through experience gained in the One-77, and is a special circuit-only model limited to just 24 cars.

The full carbon fibre monocoque and body, in a front midship/rear wheel drive layout, was designed from scratch specifically for this car. The suspension mounted on this is a push rod type, with variable shock dampers. Brakes use carbon ceramic disks and the ABS system can be adjusted by the driver. The traction control system is also variable, and can be set according to the driver's preference and the character of the track. Handling and engine output characteristics are also possible to fine tune.

The engine is Aston Martin's signature V12, increased to 7 litres in displacement and fine tuned to produced 799 BHP normally aspirated. The gearbox is an XTrac 6 speed sequential, mounted in a trans-axle layout.

The torque tube is made of magnesium, the propeller shaft is carbon. Every part of the car has been optimized for light weight and strength, keeping the total weight down to 1,350 kg. This makes the power to weight ratio an incredible 1.68 kg/BHP.

In addition to the incredible performance, owners who acquire this car receives complete technical support from Aston Martin and a dedicated circuit driving program is also provided.

Brand Central (GT7)[]

The Vulcan was developed with the aim of breaking down the barriers between road cars and race-eligible cars. It boasts a full carbon fibre body on par with the highest quality racers. The front-mounted, naturally aspirated 7L V12 engine can produce an astounding 799.8 BHP of horsepower! The rear transaxle-mounted gearbox balances the weight of the engine—ensuring an optimal weight distribution.

Kagurazaka[]

This is originally a machine meant for the track, so it's not street legal. But the design has not been compromised one bit. It conveys an expression of violent performance combined with the classic beauty that defines Aston Martin. Having these attributes simultaneously gives this car a Jekyll-and-Hyde design quality. From a nose that looks like it's about to eat the car ahead to the low skirts and the underside of the rear diffuser... A strange power resonates from the tissues and internal organs that make up this carbon-fibre machine. They speak plainly about the origins and intent of this car. The British-style understatement of the DB series is something that transcends eccentricity. It is the glorious madness that defines today's Aston Martin.

Trivia[]

  • Before GT Sport's launch, it was originally going to be in Gr.X. It was then changed to N800, despite being a non-street legal car (although there is a road-legal conversion for the car in real life).
    • However, it is still listed in Gr.X in the GT Sport car list on Gran Turismo's website, contrary to its in-game listing.
