When we see the cars that race around the tracks on a regular basis, we are completely in awe of what these vehicles can do as they race around in circles and use the full complement of power that’s provided. We love the idea of taking our road cars out on the track in order to have some fun and experience the drive offered in this setting, but once the track time is over, we can drive our street car home and never have to put it on the back of a flatbed truck to be taken home.
This isn’t the case with the race cars that we admire. While most racing teams wouldn’t want to have their track cars on the roads, there are some people who want to have a car that’s been built for the track out on the roads to show it off. When a car costs a large amount of money, you want to have the ability to show it off whenever and wherever you can, but one car that has limited itself to being a track car is the Aston Martin Vulcan. It appears that one group has chosen to make this a car that can be shown off on the roads as well.
Limited Numbers but not Limited Driving
You might think the idea of taking a car that’s powered by a 7.0-liter V12 engine with 800 horsepower and a large rear with that makes other cars have wing envy would ever be one that was to head out on the road, but the team at RML Group has found a way to make it happen. It seems, there are several customers that have reached out to this tuning company in the UK to see if they would be willing to make the alterations needed to put this car on the road.
The project was announced by RML Group in April of 2016 and they finally have completed the job to make the Vulcan a car that can drive off the track and head out to the road so that you could arrive at an event in this amazing supercar. The changes that took place to make this possible includes adding headlights from the DB11, change the suspension to be appropriate for the road, and adding a lift that amounts to a 30mm rise in the ride height of the vehicle.
The team also upgraded the engine cooling and made changes to the six-speed sequential gearbox. These changes were necessary to make sure the car could be driven in the stop and go traffic that’s found on the road and be able to handle some of the road abrasions that can be seen as well. The fact that a few customers do want these changes to be made is a positive step forward for the Vulcan which could have been relegated to making turns at the track or simply being a museum show piece in someone’s collection. With these road items added, maybe we’ll see some of the owners arrive at their events in this gorgeous supercar that has been altered and improved to be ready to drive on the road.
