Aston Martin made headlines in 2016 with the introduction of the breathtaking V12 Vulcan, a track-focused supercar. This high-performance vehicle boasts an impressive 820 horsepower 7.0-liter engine and a price tag in the millions. Production was limited to just 24 units, with only three making their way to the United States. Now, one of these rare machines is back on the market, still capturing attention even after a year of being offered for sale.
This striking purple Vulcan is being auctioned by Mecum, a renowned auction service, and includes everything a buyer could need. It has only been driven a mere 100 miles, effectively making it a brand-new vehicle that has been cherished by its previous owner.
Adding to its exclusivity, the car features Mokume Carbon Accents on both the dashboard and the body sides. It is one of only four Vulcans in the world equipped with these unique elements, complemented by its distinctive paint job.
The Vulcan comes with all the original factory amenities, showcasing even more technology than Aston Martin’s Vantage GT3 race car. With its massive rear wing and advanced aerodynamics, it generates over 3,000 pounds of downforce—an indication of its track-ready capabilities. However, it’s important to note that this vehicle is not street-legal, which means thrilling drives along the Pacific Coast Highway are off the table for prospective buyers.
The auction will take place during the upcoming Monterey Car Week, where the Vulcan is projected to sell for significantly less than its original price. Previously, this particular model fetched an astonishing $3.4 million, but Mecum anticipates a minimum bid of $2.3 million this time around—still a considerable investment.
The event is scheduled for August 15-21, during which additional updates and developments will be shared..
