The Aston is also more rare than its counterparts, of which McLaren will build 35 and Ferrari fewer than 40. That's rather rare company indeed, in which the Vulcan looks poised to be the rarest.

The Vulcan is Aston's take on the likes of the Ferrari FXX K and McLaren P1 GTR: a seven-figure supercar designed neither for the road nor for racing, but just for their owners' enjoyment.

Unlike other track-special hypercars from the likes of Ferrari or McLaren, the Vulcan isn’t a hybrid and is powered by a 7.0-liter V12 engine that was developed with Aston Martin Racing.
