Why it matters

Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.
History
Aston Martin introduced the Vulcan at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show. It was designed in-house by a team led by Chief Creative Officer Marek Reichman and has an all-carbon-fibre body. A naturally aspirated 7.0-litre V12 is mounted front-mid and drives the rear wheels through a rear-mounted Xtrac six-speed sequential gearbox. Owners could adjust power and dynamic settings in stages, and Aston Martin ran a dedicated ownership programme for the car.
