With around 1,400 HP between them, the new Aston Martin DB11 and the Vulcan track-beast were unleashed on the famous hill climb at the 2016 Goodwood Festival of Speed.
Coming straight from the Geneva Motor Show, where it made its world premiere this spring, the most powerful production DB model ever, the DB11, celebrated its local dynamic debut by unlocking the 600 HP and 700 Nm (516 pound-feet) of torque produced by the 5.2-liter twin-turbo V12 engine on the narrow road on Lord March’s estate.
Having the DB11 breathing on its neck, the Aston Martin Vulcan returned to the UK event, one year after it made its world premiere, to prove that its more than 800 HP, delivered from a naturally-aspirated 7.0-liter V12 petrol engine, are still enough to send shivers down your spine.
While the two high-performance vehicles were being demonstrated on the hill climb, at the Supercar Paddock, Aston Martin had the Vantage GT8 on display, while its more powerful twin, the V12 Vantage S, was showcased in the Michelin Supercar Paddock.
