Aston Martin Vulcan AMR pro makes Goodwood debut

Aston Martin has exposed a new upgrade bundle for the hardcore, track-only Vulcan, releasing under the banner of the firm’s new AMR pro performance brand. 
Making its debut at the Goodwood celebration of Speed, the Vulcan AMR pro bundle will be made offered to all 24 present Vulcan owners, introducing an comprehensive aerodynamic bundle as well as a re-tuned gearbox.

It’s difficult to miss the new aero work. The modifications begin at the front end with new louvers above the wheel arches, while a quartet of dive planes has been added at the nose – two on either side of the car. Underneath, turning vanes have been added below the front splitter to aid steering response, while a new engine cover panel is 5kg lighter than the basic one.

At the back, a new rear wing is found. It’s larger, featuring a second airplane plus a 20mm Gurney flap. The rear wing endplates now function new slots with 15mm Gurney flaps of their own. The result is a surge in maximum downforce, conveniently topping that of this year’s Le Mans class winning Vantage GTE. Aerodynamic balance has been improved too, shifting the centre of pressure better to the middle of the car.

Under the bonnet sits the exact same 800bhp+ naturally aspirated 7.0-litre V12 engine, however somewhere else Aston has modified a few of the mechanicals – the gearbox has been modified with shorter ratios, for punchier acceleration. 
The AMR pro upgrade bundle is fitted by Aston’s ‘Q’ special operations division, as well as the very first of the Vulcan’s 24 owners have already taken the plunge. They’ll get to experience their upgraded track Astons in the autumn, while guests at this year’s Goodwood celebration of speed will get to see the Vulcan AMR pro in action on the Goodwood hillclimb.
