Not a fan of any of this guy's reviews. I dont care for the style or voice.

The car is cool. Kinda odd, I mean is it street legal? I couldn't get through that review.

Yeah, his voice is kinda annoying, but the car is such an amazing piece of engineering I didn't let it stop me. Like the Engineering Explained channel, that's guys voice is also a little bothersome but no one really makes informative technical videos like he does.

I LOVE the Vulcan's interior and LED lighting tech. I hope that stuff becomes more common on production cars.

And the carbon fiber valve covers and intake plenum.....so gorgeous.

The Aston Martin Vulcan Is A Carbon Fiber Clad Orgy Of Power

Any way you slice it, the Vulcan is an outrageous piece of machinery.

Built by the British automaker's finest craftsmen, it is Aston Martin's answer to the track-only Ferrari FXX K and McLaren P1 GTR and will be limited to just 24 units worldwide.

As this clip shows, it's assembled in an impeccably clean warehouse and, beyond being the fastest and most hardcore car the firm has ever produced, it is also one of its most extravagant.

Carfection (formerly known as XCAR) had the opportunity to get a first hand look at the Vulcan being built while also hearing its naturally-aspirated 7.0-liter V12 engine roaring to life. With over 800 hp on tap, the Vulcan's engine is the most powerful naturally-aspirated unit used by a 'production car'. As you'd expect, it also sounds insane even at low revs.

There's an Aston Martin Vulcan for sale. For £2.4million...

America's first Aston Vulcan is for sale. Time to empty your change jar

Quote:

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…

Yeah I agree. However I did enjoy the in depth description of all the Vulcan features which is something you don't normally see in your average car review
