America's first Aston Vulcan is for sale. Time to empty your change jar
We trust you know the Aston Martin Vulcan. An 800bhp trackday special, it will set you back around £1.8million.
Or rather it used to. One has just appeared for sale in America, and it’s listed at $3.4million. At current exchange rates, that’s £2.4million. Or a 33 per cent mark-up…
On sale at Cleveland Motorsports in Ohio, it’s one of a mere 24 Vulcans, and the first to have arrived on US shores. It’s finished in a lovely burnt orange colour - Fiamma Red, on the Aston order sheet - and has been professionally detailed, so you needn’t worry about any detrimental effects of its journey across the Atlantic.
It’s track-only, of course (though you can make them road legal, apparently), but its monster 7.0-litre V12 engine should make up for it, once you’re confident enough to open the taps on circuit. Something that comes via a proper, in-depth training programme that includes the 750bhp One-77 supercar as a stepping stone. Naturally.
The Vulcan, meanwhile? “Wild enough to make a battle scene in Game Of Thrones sound like a round of University Challenge,” according to TG’s Jason Barlow.
Exciting enough to cost two LaFerraris, though? Thoughts below, please…
