Cars hey, for many of us they take us from A to B and then we get on with our lives.

For the petrolhead the car is something different, which is why there’s quite the commotion around the release of the new Aston Martin Vulcan. Just the $10 million to land one of these, although with only 24 having been built money alone won’t guarantee you a new ride.

The peeps over at SlashGear managed to climb inside one and start the engines, having this to say about the Vulcan:

The Vulcan’s F1-style, Beru-sourced steering wheel costs $20,000 alone, and before new owners can get behind it, they are trained on how to properly pilot the dragon, in stages. They start off in an Aston Martin V12 Vantage S—a veritable upper-echelon sports car in its own right—getting acquainted with that level of performance, first. Fraser Dunn, head of Aston’s Special Projects team says the next step is to get behind the wheel of a One-77, before finishing off the pre-Vulcan training in a GT4 car.

Once cleared for the Vulcan, there are three different power settings, starting off with a nice-to-meet-you 550 hp, a secondary level—the envy of most supercars—bumps things up to 675 horses, while full angry-dragon-mode goes down at 820 ponies. The power settings can be easily selected via a switch to the right of the steering wheel.

I hope that did something to your nether bits car lovers.
