Which Aston Martin Vulcan Version Should You Choose?
The Aston Martin Vulcan catalogue presents an unusually simple choice: the data contains one generation, one Coupe body style, and one version, the 7.0 MT. Produced from 2015 to 2016, it combines an 831 hp, 7,000 cc Gasoline engine with a 6-speed Manual gearbox and RWD.
The Aston Martin Vulcan catalogue presents an unusually simple choice: the data contains one generation, one Coupe body style, and one version, the 7.0 MT. Produced from 2015 to 2016, it combines an 831 hp, 7,000 cc Gasoline engine with a 6-speed Manual gearbox and RWD. There are no alternative engines, transmissions, or generations to compare, so choosing a Vulcan means deciding whether this single specification suits your priorities.
Aston Martin Vulcan generations compared
The Vulcan has 1 generation in the catalogue. The 1 generation ran from 2015 to 2016 and was offered as a Coupe with 1 version, the 7.0 MT.
Because the catalogue lists no other generation or restyling, there is no earlier or later Vulcan specification against which to calculate changes in horsepower, torque, acceleration, weight, or engine size. The 2015 and 2016 cars belong to the same generation and share the same listed version data. A buyer therefore cannot select one model year for a different engine, gearbox, or drivetrain on the basis of this dataset.
Aston Martin Vulcan specs and engine
| Version | Power | Torque | Displacement | Fuel | Cylinders | Cylinder layout | Boost | Gearbox | Drive |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 7.0 MT | 831 hp (611 kW) at 7,750 rpm | 780 Nm; torque rpm not measured | 7,000 cc | Gasoline; 98 fuel | 12 | V-shaped | No | 6-speed Manual | RWD |
The 7.0 MT uses a centrally placed, naturally aspirated engine: its engine placement is Central, and boost is No. The engine develops 831 hp, equivalent to 611 kW, at 7,750 rpm, while listed maximum torque is 780 Nm. The rpm at which that torque is produced is not measured.
Calculated from the supplied figures, the 7.0 MT produces approximately 118.7 hp per litre and 87.3 kW per litre. Torque output is approximately 111.4 Nm per litre. These ratios do not rank one Vulcan version against another because no second version is listed, but they make the sole powertrain specification easier to assess.
Questions about the engine bore and stroke, compression ratio, fuel-supply system, valves per cylinder, engine name, or engine manufacturer cannot be answered from this catalogue entry: each of those details is not measured. The data also provides no separate engine-bay specification or engine-for-sale information.
Aston Martin Vulcan performance and mpg
| Version | 0–100 km/h | Top speed | City consumption | Highway consumption | Combined consumption | CO₂ | Emissions class |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 7.0 MT | 2.9 seconds | 335 km/h | not measured | not measured | not measured | not measured | not measured |
The 7.0 MT accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.9 seconds and has a listed top speed of 335 km/h. As the catalogue contains only this version, there is no slower, faster, or more economy-focused Vulcan alternative.
Aston Martin Vulcan mpg cannot be calculated from the supplied data. City, highway, and combined fuel-consumption figures are all not measured. Tank capacity is also not measured, so driving range cannot be derived. CO₂ output and emissions class are likewise not measured.
Aston Martin Vulcan dimensions and weight
| Version | Kerb weight | Gross weight | Ground clearance | Tank capacity | Wheel sizes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 7.0 MT | 1,350 kg | not measured | not measured | not measured | not measured |
The 7.0 MT has a kerb weight of 1,350 kg. With 831 hp, that gives a calculated power-to-weight ratio of approximately 615.6 hp per tonne. Viewed the other way, each horsepower corresponds to approximately 1.62 kg of kerb weight. Using the listed 611 kW, the result is approximately 452.6 kW per tonne.
Gross weight is not measured, so payload cannot be calculated. Overall length, width, height, and wheelbase are not measured, which means the Aston Martin Vulcan’s dimensions and overall size cannot be compared numerically here. Ground clearance, tank capacity, wheel sizes, tire sizes, and weight distribution are also not measured.
The 7.0 MT has Independent, spring suspension at both the front and rear. Its front and rear brakes are Ceramic ventilated. Because there is only one listed configuration, there is no alternative Vulcan suspension or brake specification to choose.
Which Aston Martin Vulcan version should you buy?
Choose the 7.0 MT if the catalogue specification you want is an 831 hp, 780 Nm, centrally engined Coupe with a 7,000 cc Gasoline engine, 6-speed Manual gearbox, and RWD. Its measurable performance case is clear: 2.9 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h, a 335 km/h top speed, 1,350 kg kerb weight, approximately 118.7 hp per litre, and approximately 615.6 hp per tonne.
There is no lower-powered version to trade performance for fuel economy, no Automatic alternative to the 6-speed Manual, and no AWD derivative in the supplied data. There is also no second generation that changes the body, engine, gearbox, or drive layout. Consequently, model-year and version comparisons do not reveal a numerical advantage: the catalogue’s 2015–2016 1 generation contains only the 7.0 MT.
The data does not include prices, so it cannot establish what extra money buys or identify a better-value model year. It also contains no Vulcan AMR Pro version, meaning claims about AMR Pro horsepower, weight, or differences from the 7.0 MT would go beyond the available facts. Road legality, availability for sale, reliability, problems, and comparisons with other Aston Martin models are not covered by the dataset either.
For a catalogue-based purchase decision, the conclusion is therefore direct: the 7.0 MT is both the only listed Vulcan and the only version that can be recommended. The deciding factors are not differences between variants, but whether its specific combination of 831 hp, 780 Nm, 1,350 kg, Manual transmission, and RWD matches what the buyer wants.
