The $2.3 million Aston Martin Vulcan hypercar is way more insane than we imagined

First we heard the Aston Martin Vulcan scream down a racetrack. Then we saw it spit fire out of its side exhausts. Now we finally have our first glimpse of Aston's newest hypercar - and it's every bit as intense as we expected.

Aston has confirmed that the Vulcan will be a track-only special edition and will be limited to just 24 cars.

"Aston Martin Vulcan is, by its very nature, a rare and thrilling supercar," Aston Martin CEO Andy Palmer said.

"Designed and engineered to deliver a genuinely bespoke driving experience that draws on our rich heritage, this car tailors its power and handling to both the capabilities of the driver and the characteristics of the track."

The price for this "bespoke" hypercar is as intimidating as a Saville Row suit cut from shimmering superhero carbon fiber: $2.3 million.
