The Aston Martin Vulcan is a two-door, two-seat, high-performance lightweight track-only car launched in 2015 by British luxury automobile manufacturer Aston Martin at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show.

The Vulcan was designed by Aston Martin's creative officer Marek Reichman, taking inspiration from then-current Aston Martin models such as the Vantage, the DB9 and the One-77.[2] Production totalled 24 cars, one for each hour at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, with each priced at US$2.3 million.[3] One was included with the penthouse of Aston Martin Residences tower in Miami.[4][5]
