- I went along to see the Vulcan move for the first time on Wednesday. Here's a teaser for what people will see when it runs up the hill at the Goodwood Festival of Speed 2015.
Some say it's still spinning its tires
Bloods2JZGTE Legend says the vulcan spins tires even past 400 mph.
Bloods2JZGTE I read it with Jeremy Clarkson voice in mind.
You are not the only one :)
Totally
It didn't actually move, the planet just started spinning faster!
dat sound is absolutely phenomenal
I already set this sound as my alarm. I can listen to this all day
whoop whoop whoop -Zoidberg
Brianwashere92 Hahaha exactly!!
Brianwashere92 Good News Everyone!
Brianwashere92 and i'm sitting here during my futurama marathon...
givemeajackson and now i've finished the last episode once more, and once more i'm sad...
But you still have Zoidbireg...
Beautiful! Sounds really high revs, amazing.
"Well, the rev-limiter works!"
Ya but the traction control needs a little tweaking! Lol
Met Chris for a v quick chat at Goodwood FOS this weekend , fab day , mega cars, looking forward to extended vid, thanks Chris!
Live long and prosper, Chris.
God, that V12 buzz is so smooth it gives me chills.
Can't wait to hear you bang gears on the top end, and hard downshift when braking!!!
There is no article about Chris Harris on Wikipedia. Shame on you mankind !
Make one.
Not all great men need a Wikipedia
Aleks N'Drangheta I remember not finding one about Harry Metcalfe either!!
Aleks N'Drangheta en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Harris
Kaisuke971 This* Chris Harris.
I did LOL though :)
Looking forward to you eventually reviewing this Chris. Amazing machine on paper. And that name....
Good to see Aston Martin still making cars with a soul
Just one word..
Epic.
Sound = Beautiful!
Really like that sound with the rpm limiter
Chris you're an inspiration. I will own cars like this... I love cars and I want to drive half as good as you someday (not in my sim racer but real life). You make it look so easy, because you're concentrated on driving and have a true connection with it but also just have a fuckload of talent. I was thinking of you as a celebrity using the akimator app and it guessed you!!!!
Captain to engineering, damnit Scotty I need more traction!
God bless all NA V12!
Dem straight cut gear sounds!!
The initial spool up of a V12 on start is pure jizz :3
That starter before the engine turns sounds fuckin awesome. And then there's that launch. Goddamn this car is sexy af
best 8 second video ever
jeez that sounds fantastic
Can I get this as a ringtone?
Ellis_D I can make that happen.
AllegedlySpiffy Put it on Zadge And call it Aston Martin Vulcan whoop whoop whoop
AllegedlySpiffy Really?
What a sound!
Naturally aspirated 800hp, sounds supercharged in that video.
ellieisfit15 agreed
gearset.
ellieisfit15 Sounds like straight cut gears to me.
MadMarv4Life exactly
ellieisfit15 or limited slip differential
Chris you Ass! How dare you tease us like that. hahaha Wow what a car!
Lone Puma Although I like the rumble of an american v8, nothing beats the balanced and smooth roar if a v12. Maybe a BRM v16.
Lone Puma They might be faster, but I prefer the muscle car's deep throaty rumble over the high revving annoying crotch rocket sounding cars.
Lone Puma Because it's a race car.... durrr
Love me some V8 rumble tho!
DAGATHire to be fair, so is a Stockcar.
Lone Puma how old are you?
The British gentleman with more anger than ever
Finally ("The Rock's voice") Aston-Martin is back!!!!!!
Thats just mental!
Sounds like a pikes peak motor! Awesome
Good lord that sounds unreal
u tha man Chris..
Such a tease.
needs more flames
awesome, would love to see a review!!!!
On Uber soon.
nice Chrysler Crossfire you got there.
Ohh jesus that sounds good..
Was I the only one hoping for the video to be longer? D:
Yes, literally everyone else thought it was too long!? : /
Oockeshoek I had plenty of time to climax.
***** You must struggle in bed.
Ayman B. Getting the cars into my bedroom is the biggest struggle.
Nope. I would listen to that for ages!
Well, I just watched that 4 times...
Sweetness
This is internet gold.
Even my Freelander 1 can start off the line like that.
Lovely
My body is ready.
It caught fire on the 9th second.
it sounds futuristic though ....the first sound after the start.....
Yes.
Sounds like a video game!
For a $2.3m track only car I'm puzzled why it's 1350 kg/2976 lb :/ That's 250 kg/551 lbs more than a Mclaren F1 or Zonda R. I'm sure it's amazing but just weirdly 'heavy' lol.
Redswipe It's still lighter than the P1 and 918
James Franklin but underpowered as well
Plus this is front engined too, the rest mentioned here are all mid engined, so smaller
ellieisfit15 I will eat a truck full of cow shit if this car doesn't positively annihilate the ferrari mclaren porsche trio around a track. all the aero trickery on this thing will make it an absolute bullet around corners
Frank F I'll have that cow shit delivered to your house! You should have read the fine print in the You Tube disclaimer "All verbal agreements posted in the You Tube comment section are legally binding, if you do not comply to your agreement you will be taunted a second time."
What a tease..
What ever happen to lonch control love it thought
Chris. You little tease!
Add that to the bloody intro reel!!
Still there, still there, still there...
Hell Yeah!!!!
A new RC-Car by matchbox. :)
Oh...my....GOD!!!
I know there's more footage than that... Where is it!?!
Epic
NA ftw, forever.
When are hyper-cars getting 4 rear wheels to deal with traction?
cool i dont think the rear tyres are big enough for the power it has what size are they?
I dont like car videos where a car gets started and redlines immeadeately.
Even when its warm. And it does fit dramaturgical.
Kalimerakis Dude, i bet you real life money they had already warmed up the whole car before this. The startup is for dramatic effects.
I know, thats exactly what I said.
Kalimerakis I know how you're thinking! But that car is probably a test/demo car which wont get sold to a customer.
Do you people not know how to read?
***** The oil still needs to circulate through the engine, I mean, it does take time to circulate through to both cylinder banks
I'm down, let me have a go.
So Chris, you want people to subscribe to your channel? Hm??
THATS how you get people to subscribe!
Well did it work? Lol
RS8715 Like a charm!
Where is the 24hrs Nordschleife video?!?!?!
Was the oil pressure ready for that
Chris Harris on Cars Doesn't seem like it's getting its power down right.
Sorry,
an 8 !!! sec video to get use "warmed"
that just freezes me up
even (or just because) its about a car that's iconic even before official release
Iris C wut
Iris C I completely agree......
After careful examination and comparing it to alien languages, I think he/she is trying to say that a teaser video does not warm he/she up for the proper video, instead it "freezes" them, meaning he/she loses interest. He/she/it also mentions that it might be because it's such a unique vehicle that teasers spoil it's unveiling.
RhysJ03 actualy, that teaser is to get ppl to pay for DRIVE+
so they can see the whole video
but such a short teaser makes me even more unwilling to pay for DRIVE+ 8)
Iris C Chris Harris isn't part of Drive anymore.
So the launch control on this one envolves buying shares of Pirelli?
Top Gear test track?
Yea
Thats BBC quality filming :>
You TEASE!
Understood.
It sounds like one of the three stooges. When one of them makes that woop woop woop sound.
Starting the engine and immediately hitting the rev limiter for several seconds with no oil pressure built up before? Isn't that bad for the engine? :X
Someone should race this with the actual Vulcan bomber!
+Daniel May Latest edition to the V-Bomber family, dropping the sonic f-bomb everywhere it goes xD
Is the 7 liter V12 in this thing essentially th same engine that powered the last Pagani Zonda's? It would make sense since Aston has it's partnership with AMG to use this motor rather than spending millions of pounds developing one for such a limited vehicle.
maybe just maybe its taken from the one77...
South4153 the One-77 used a 7.3 Litre V12, so while it is possible that they took that engine and de-stroked it, it doesn't seem like a logical thing to do.
OT but please do a video on Kermit. I know you want it too!
Sounds a bit like the Pagani Zonda R!
such a shame this is not a full review
Bad ass
Just messed my pants in 9 seconds flat!
very nice sound. however i've never really liked the current aston martin shape (that hasn't changed for a couple decades). i'm never wowed by any of their new designs.
Enhance. Enhance. Enhance.
Is it supercharged? I was expecting more noise
Drive it please!!!!!
Dear Chris and Neil, you can't just give us 9 seconds. Surely you'll be running like a little kid to this one Chris ?!
Wow
OMFG!
Short but so sweet lol
delicious
Not mad it's 9 seconds just mad I could not make that noise my ringtone
is there any reason why they keep making their cars RWD? with 800+ hp on their cars wouldn't they benefit 0-250 from a good AWD system? whenever i see a race on youtube vs one of the 'big 3' hypercars they seem to really struggle to put their power to the road
***** Being fast is amazing. But the difference in how you feel like you're going fast is something not everyone can understand. Going very very fast in an AWD is fun, but going just fast in a rear wheel drive car is equally fun. For the real world, the RWD car can give you more fun whilst not really blowing the speed limit. Have a nice day :)
Rwd only has traction problems when u accelerate from very low speed so the 3 hybrid hypercars lose the drag races but they are really awesome on track and on a track they are never under 50mph usually so there are no traction problems and rwd feels much better
***** The 918 (I assume by 'big 3' you mean LaFerrari, P1 & 918) actually is AWD and might be the fastest of the lot despite a power disadvantage and being heavier. It's very difficult to know, but motortrend and Evo (UK) both found the 918 to be faster round the same track on the same day. The P1 only beat the 918 in the Evo test with special 'trofeo' tyres and McLaren have not released the 'ring time. Ferrari don't seem keen in putting their car up against either of the others but it seems to me the 918 is helped by it's AWD.
***** I think you are getting confused with Koenigsegg, the F70 and P1 at Vmax took off like they were 4 wheel drive every single time
***** The reason they keep making their cars RWD is because AWD has a lower performance limit than RWD does in handling, top end speeds, and in accelerations past 60mph.
To be really honest, putting slicks on an AWD car doesn't do anything to improve performance like a RWD car because of the AWD mechanics and design. It offers very little traction improvements vs a RWD car (especially high powered ones) because you have both front and rear wheels moving, therefore you're using all 4 tires to brake and accelerate, and even steer too if you count the R-32-34 GT-Rs and the 918 for their exclusive four wheel steering systems.
Then there is the already mentioned added weight and power loss. It takes more power to run 2 drive axles than 1, and then that adds more weight too. If they dropped the front drive axle on the 918, it would easily lose 300+ lbs from itand then it would 3400+ curb. Less weight grants you more performance, and helps with acceleration, braking, and with proper suspension tuning and tires, allows for better cornering. There's a reason every FIA F1, GT1, GT2, and GT3 car as well as the 24h Le Mans, and LMP cars are all RWD. You get the most for the lowest compromises with RWD.
It's an engineering thing, and 4WD only has a real advantage in rally racing and in poorer racing conditions
A roadcar with straightcut gears? Or is this not supposed to be roadlegal?
Kristoffer Lilja It's a track car only, so, not remotely road legal as far as I know.
Have you applied for top gear?
damn sound like my vacuum
***** Don't look for his brain though
