The Aston Martin Vulcan is then transferred during the year 2016 and is the exclusive customer hands McLaren or Ferrari GTR P1 fxxk defy.
A " track-only supercar " with design view
The design of the Vulcan was written by the team of Aston Martin Chief Designer Marek Reichman. The design of the new GT race car will give an outlook on future design elements of street-legal sports cars of the brand.
