Design
The Aston Martin Vulcan is a stunningly beautiful car. It has a long, low profile with a wide stance. The front end is dominated by a large grille and aggressive headlights. The side profile is highlighted by pronounced wheel arches and a sharp crease that runs from the front to the rear of the car. The rear end is dominated by a large diffuser and a pair of round taillights.
The Vulcan is made from lightweight carbon fiber, which helps to keep its weight down and improve its performance. The car also has a number of aerodynamic features, such as a front splitter, a rear diffuser, and a large rear wing. These features help to generate downforce and keep the car planted on the track.
