Twenty-four examples of the track-only Aston Martin Vulcan were built.
Aston Martin presented the Vulcan at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show as an extreme, circuit-focused machine rather than a road-legal production sports car. Its name references the Avro Vulcan, the British Cold War bomber, fitting the car’s dramatic character and aviation-inspired identity.
The Vulcan used an all-carbon-fibre body and a naturally aspirated 7.0-litre V12 producing more than 800 bhp. Each car was designed for private track use, with adjustable power, traction control and braking settings to help drivers progress from gentler modes to full performance.
The number 24 was deliberate: it represented the 24 hours of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The figure is sometimes confused with the car’s horsepower claims, AMR Pro upgrades or later road-conversion projects, but those do not change the original production total.
