The acceleration of Aston Martin’s 200mph Vulcan supercar stuns BBC reporter (Video)

Ben Kenyon

‘Unflappable’ is a word that springs to mind when thinking of the BBC’s top news reporters.

 

Nothing phases their cool and methodical approach to journalism…until you stick them in a 200mph supercar.

But not just any run-of-the-mill racer – this is Aston Martin’s brand new £1.5m Vulcan.

It looks evil and it sounds evil.

It’s so fast they won’t let it anywhere near a public road and so exclusive that only 24 of the machines are being built.

Reporter Emma Simpson was the first passenger in this weapon of a car and as soon as it roared off all that BBC equanimity went straight out the window.

“Whoa! It’s a rocket on wheels,” she screams. “The acceleration is just incredible.”

Just have a look at the pant-s**ting speed of the thing…
