The newly launched Aston Martin Vulcan is both extremely powerful and better looking than most supercars out there, but, more importantly, it’s the company’s most exotic project to date. Not only will it grant Aston Martin access to the hypercar market, but it will also place it in a select group of manufacturers that offers exclusive, track-prepped supercars with racing programs. Ferrari and McLaren are the only major automakers to include such initiatives, and that says a lot about what the Vulcan will do for Aston Martin. And since a special supercar demands special attention, the Brits are also readying a tailor-made facility to handle Vulcan production.
According to AutoCar, Aston Martin is setting up a skunkworks facility near Gaydon to build the 24 examples of the Vulcan racer. The small factory is located in Wellesbourne, nearly eight miles from Gaydon, and a small team of carefully selected engineers will start making the limited-edition Vulcan there this summer. The supercar will be assembled from parts provided by both Aston Martin and race-engineering suppliers, the report adds. The Vulcan is due to reach its customers at the end of 2015. Pricing for the British supercar starts from £1.8 million, which converts to nearly $2.7 million as of 03/17/2015.
