When you get the aero working through a fast corner, it really is an unbelievable feeling. I can\u2019t wait to see the customers\u2019 faces when they experience it for themselves.\u201dInstallation of the Aston Martin Vulcan AMR Pro upgrade package is being handled by Q by Aston Martin Advanced Operations and work is already underway on the first upgrades, with the first customer cars expected to be completed in the autumn."},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Latest News","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/latest-news\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"The Vulcan AMR Pro is the wildest Aston Martin ever\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/latest-news\/the-vulcan-amr-pro-is-the-wildest-aston-martin-ever\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
