===Performance===
<tabber>v6.4 - Onwards=
The buff of the Vulcan made it similar to the Tushek TS 900 Racer Pro and TRION NEMESIS, having above average acceleration, good handling, sharp drifting, and a mediocre nitro duration. Compared to the 2, the Vulcan doesn't have the raw speed to compete with the Trion in drifting orientated tracks such as Munich Subway. Against the Tushek, the Vulcan remains close, only being a bit inferior in drifting radius. 
With its overall well-rounded stats, the Vulcan is a solid choice for TLEs, being able to cope with nearly any track. It also has use in Gauntlet, though it shouldn't be used on long, nitro scarce tracks such as Azure Coast or Iceland.
Overall, the Vulcan is on par with other balanced 1860 vehicles, such as the Lamborghini Sián FKP 37, Lamborghini Centenario LP 770-4, and Bugatti Bolide. It can be summed up as a Centenario with worse nitro efficiency. 
|-|v4.7-6.3=
With the constant addition of 1860 ranked vehicles, such as the Koenigsegg Regera, Koenigsegg Jesko, and Ferrari FXX K, the Vulcan sees no use in TLEs, being outclassed by all 1860 vehicles. 
Due to its close ranking to the 1860s, being only 40 off, the Vulcan ends up matching with them in multiplayer, being unable to compete. Additionally, in Gauntlet, the Vulcan lacks the top speed to maintain a lead or catch another 1860 car. 
Overall, the Vulcan is a mediocre car with no use anywhere.
|-|v2.8 - v4.7=
The Aston Martin Vulcan has very good performance in all aspects, making it capable of handling any track.
Within Class S, the Vulcan faces some rivalry from the Ferrari 488 Pista, Arrinera Hussarya GT, Lamborghini Aventador LP 750-4 SV, and McLaren MP4-31 on all tracks, but it is otherwise superior to most other vehicles. The Vulcan is inferior to the Devel Sixteen Prototype in Tokyo and occasionally to the McLaren MP4-31 in Dubai and some versions of Tenerife. The Vulcan is the fourth-fastest car in Class S (not counting the supercharged speed of the Kawasaki Ninja H2R), behind the Devel Sixteen (which has otherwise poor performance in all other aspects), the two-way tie between the Apollo Intensa Emozione and 2018 McLaren X2 (the latter two are superior against the Vulcan on all tracks), and the Lamborghini Centenario LP 770-4 (which is also superior against the Vulcan on all tracks).
Within the entire game (including Class A), the Vulcan can also be inferior to the Mercedes-Benz SLK 55 AMG Special Edition Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport, Lightning LS-218, and possibly even the BMW 3.0 CSL Hommage in some situations (especially in Tokyo). However, these cars can only compete with the Vulcan on long and simple tracks due to their inferior acceleration, handling, drifting, and, in the case of the SLK SE and BMW Hommage, nitro efficiency.
The McLaren Mercedes MP4-25 and Rezvani Beast Alpha are also rivals to the Vulcan, Hussarya GT, and MP4-31 on short tracks, being only slightly inferior to those vehicles. Within the entire game, the Vulcan has the seventh-highest total speed (if not counting motorcycles), at 507.3 km/h - 315.0 mph.
===Official review===
This is the official review of the Aston Martin Vulcan on the Asphalt YouTube channel, made by TheHawtDawg1 and published on January 20, 2017:
Time to reach end of Tokyo straight: 7.028s
Perfect nitro duration: 10.560s
Triple nitro duration: 7.425s
French Guiana lap time: 53.856s
Final verdict: "The Aston Martin Vulcan is a truly amazing machine. Almost every statistic is perfect and the car can make insane times on all tracks. It is without a doubt the best car in Asphalt 8."
The Vulcan can actually be tuned for low-rank Multiplayer matches due to its low starting rank. On the other hand, a Multiplayer-tuned Vulcan below 1400 is mostly inferior to other low-rank Multiplayer favorites like the Range Rover Evoque Coupe HSE Dynamic, McLaren MP4/8, and TVR Sagaris. Because of this, the player is generally better off by tuning the Vulcan to 1562 or higher (0500 5050 tuning, which achieves maximum raw top speed), and if possible, getting it MAX+PRO, at which the Vulcan will show off its full potential.
The following are some of the better non-MAX+PRO multiplayer tunes for the Vulcan:
*Max 0400 Pro 5050 = rank 1498 = 456.6 km/h (283.7 mph)
*Max 0500 Pro 5050 = rank 1562 = 477 km/h (296 mph)
*Max 0502 Pro 5050 = rank 1586 = 482 km/h (300 mph)
*Max 1502 Pro 5052 = rank 1597 = 485 km/h (301 mph)
*Max 5501 Pro 5555 = rank 1660 = 491 km/h (305 mph)
*Max 2504 Pro 5054 = rank 1657 = 495 km/h (307.6 mph)
*Max 5504 Pro 5055 = rank 1679 = 496.6 km/h (308.6 mph)
**This is one of the most balanced tunings, with generally good matchmaking.
*Max 5505 Pro 5555 = rank 1747 = 507.3 km/h (315.0 mph
**This is the best tuning for the Vulcan following the introduction of the Apollo Intensa Emozione.
At lower ranks, it also faces competition against the and Porsche Carrera GT, but is otherwise superior to them above rank 1586.
As of the Holiday Update, the Apollo IE, Lamborghini Centenario, Lightning LS-218 and McLaren X2 have surpassed the Vulcan in all respects. The Apollo IE and Centenario are upgraded versions of the Vulcan with more focus on raw speed, the LS-218 is the second-fastest vehicle in the game with slightly better acceleration and handling than the Vulcan, and the McLaren X2 is an upgraded McLaren MP4-31 with even higher instability. Despite this, the restrictive availability of the Apollo IE, Centenario and X2, as well as their higher upgrade costs and Pro Kit requirements and, in the case of the Centenario, its -only upgrades, as well as the inherent instability of all motorbikes like the LS-218, make the Vulcan considerably easier to obtain, upgrade and drive. The Vulcan is the third-best Aston Martin vehicle, after the Aston Martin Valhalla (S1859) and the Aston Martin Valkyrie (S1860).
