Aston Martin Vulcan (Track-Only Hypercar)

The Aston Martin Vulcan is a wildly exotic, track-only British supercar built as a no-compromise celebration of raw mechanical performance. Limited to just 24 examples, it pairs Aston Martin’s sculpted grand touring elegance with a full carbon-fiber racing chassis and an atmospheric V12 tuned for serious circuit work.

  • Powertrain: 7.0L naturally aspirated 60° V12, mid-mounted and longitudinal

  • Total Output: ~820 hp (611 kW)

  • Redline: ~7,800 rpm

  • Transmission: 7-speed sequential with paddle shift

  • Weight: 1,350 kg

  • Dimensions: ~5,080 mm long × 2,080 mm wide × 1,200 mm tall | Wheelbase ~2,970 mm

In the Simulator Feel

The Vulcan is an old-school, high-downforce weapon that feels brutally fast in the right hands but still demands respect from the driver. It combines huge aerodynamic grip, a stiff race-derived chassis, and a thunderous V12 soundtrack, making it one of the most dramatic track cars to drive in sim racing. Unlike a modern GT or prototype, the Vulcan is all about commitment — it rewards confidence on entry and precision on throttle, with enough power to punish sloppy exits.

Engine & Sound: The naturally aspirated V12 is the star of the show, delivering a spine-tingling, metallic howl that builds cleanly all the way to redline. There’s no turbo lag, no hybrid assistance, just instant throttle response and a rising crescendo that makes every downshift feel like a special event.

Handling Characteristics:

  • Cornering: Enormous front-end bite and strong aero grip at speed. Slow corners can feel more demanding than high-speed turns, where the car comes alive.

  • Traction: Serious mechanical grip, but the rear axle still needs respect under hard acceleration. Traction is excellent once the tires are warm.

  • Braking: Massive stopping power with race-car pedal feel and strong modulation.

  • Top Speed: Very quick on straights, though its real advantage is in fast, flowing corners where downforce pays off.

Driving Style Tip: Drive it like a lightweight endurance racer with a big V12 heart. Keep your inputs smooth, stay committed through medium- and high-speed sections, and use clean trail braking to settle the platform before rolling onto the throttle.

Livery & Aesthetics: The Vulcan is pure theater — aggressive aero, huge rear wing, exposed carbon, and Aston Martin’s signature elegance stretched across an unmistakably race-bred silhouette. It looks every bit as expensive and extreme as it feels, with a cockpit that screams bespoke motorsport craftsmanship.

Whether you’re chasing hot laps or just want to hear one of the best-sounding engines ever fitted to a track car, the Aston Martin Vulcan delivers a savage, unforgettable sim racing experience.
