Aston Martin's 2016 Vulcan race car is a sleek, lightning-fast race car that the auto company will ship 24 units of worldwide. Only three of the 200-mph supercars will be sent to the United States, and one exported to Cleveland last fall is now officially on sale with a $3.4 million price tag that is about $1 million higher than the British automaker's sticker price.

The Vulcan arrived in the Ohio city last November. Cleveland Motorsports listed the car for sale in the DuPont Registry advertising publication, according to Business Insider.

Aston Martin's luxury car is seen in the listing with Fiamma Red paint. It also includes two black Recaro racing seats.  

The Vulcan first appeared at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show, according to TopSpeed. Nearly every feature of the vehicle is innovative, including its design, engine, and being built for the race track.

Aston Martin's Vulcan supercar features a huge 7.0-liter V-12 engine. It produces more than 800 horsepower, which is a little more than the One-77.

In fact, the Vulcan even has a racing program that is very similar to the one for the Ferrari FXX.

TopSpeed points out that the Vulcan is built to be a race car. The instructor of its race track driving program is Le Mans-winner Darren turner (2007 and 2008).

Aston Martin's program helps Vulcan owners to boost their experience and develop track skills by driving other models manufactured by the automaker. They include the Vantage GR4 and V12 Vantage S.

When the Vulcan owners have reached a certain skill level, they can get behind the wheel of the extremely rare One-77. After they have mastered that model they can start practicing their skills on Aston Martin's 2016 Vulcan supercar.

Another Aston Martin vehicle is also making headline news. DB10 is the newest James Bond car and was featured in the 24th Bond movie "Spectre."

The DVD release of Agent 007's newest movie will be celebrated with a charity auction that feature 24 pieces of Bond film collectables. It will include the Aston Martin DB10. The car that includes a plaque with the signature of actor Daniel Craig is expected to earn around $2 million.
