'It is one of the most hi-tech cars ever created - and you'll need to go on a course to learn how to drive it, even if you can afford the $2.3m pricetag.
Aston Martin Vulcan showed off its track only 'hypercar' at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.
It features a hi-tech dashboard and smart steering wheel from which almost everything can be controlled.'

My new Mercedes also has a smart steering wheel from which I can access all the menus and it cost about $40K ....

Ah, but can it do 0-60 in 3 seconds at a top speed of 200+? lol

You got me!
The Mercedes is actually pretty decent for a 2.0 liter car -specs say 6.1 seconds 0-60 and top end of 133 (governed to prevent faster). It's a (low end Mercedes) CLA 250 and also rated at 38 mpg highway - I doubt the 800 pony Aston can match that.

Wake up on a typical Chicago winter day over the past couple of years and you’ll hope it doubles as a snow plow.

Yup. It would not do well in Houston.

A lot of competition in this segment including McLaren P1–GTR and Ferrari FxxK. Personally my preference would be the road legal Koenigsegg One:1. 0-300-0 kph world record.

Don’t know about you with your new Merc but I got my wife a BMW a couple months ago, to date we are still scared to death to park it in a shopping center or restaurant parking lot. If I come out and it’s got a ding I think I’ll just jump out in front of a speeding truck! lol

I was thinking a rough set of railroad tracks would have destroyed the front air dam, or even a steep driveway at a Walmart.
