Maximizing Downforce While Creating a Thrilling Design

Last year, Aston Martin produced just 24 units of the "Vulcan," equipped with a high-power engine delivering 820 horsepower. It was designed to convey the excitement of a Le Mans-winning race car, with performance that surpasses it.

For two years after purchase, Vulcan owners have received special driving lessons at world-class circuits from Aston Martin's professional instructors, including Darren Turner, who has won Le Mans three times.

Meanwhile, "AMR," an acronym for "Aston Martin Racing," is a new brand unveiled this year. The development of the AMR Pro model, in particular, is a special undertaking handled by the Advanced Operations department of the personalization division, "Q by Aston Martin."

The newly announced "Vulcan AMR Pro" is a performance package that enhances the Vulcan's capabilities. Particular focus has been placed on aerodynamics. Louvered panels have been added above the front wheel arches to reduce lift through high air pressure, and larger dive planes on either side of the nose enhance front-end grip.

The rear of the car also features a newly shaped rear wing and other bold modifications, creating a thrilling design while maximizing downforce.

Thanks to these aerodynamic enhancements, downforce has increased from 3,150 Nm on the standard Vulcan to 4,000 Nm on the Vulcan AMR Pro. This figure is significantly greater than the 3,104 Nm of downforce generated by the "Vantage GTE," which won its class at Le Mans this year.

Works driver Darren Turner, who has tested the Vulcan since its prototype stage, commented, "Once you attack a high-speed corner, you'll surely feel the remarkable effect of the aerodynamic enhancements."

Work to install the "Vulcan AMR Pro" upgrade has already begun, with the first cars scheduled for completion in the autumn.
