The Ryback Vulcan is one of three supercars that is featured in the "High Octane" pack released on August 31, 2010.

## Description

Being Ryback's prototype in the supercar class, the Vulcan seems to take the appearance of a Pagani Huayra, although it isn't known what the rear is based on. It boasts a curvy appearance, while maintaining that aggressive styling.

In the front, The grille is split into three sections. The middle has three while the outer has 4. On the outer sections, there are two fog lights, with a tow hook just below the left one. The middle section of the front bumper is slightly raised, and the same goes for the front splitter. The splitter wraps around the entirety of the front bumper and connects towards the first few inches of the front wheel well.

The hood on the Vulcan is mostly flat with a very slight arch to it. Like the design of the front fascia, the middle section of the hood is indented. This is to add space for the small hood scoop seen near the car's greenhouse like windshield. The car begins to curve outwards are it creates the appearance of the large wheel wells. The headlights are stretched at such an angle where the top portion of the lights connect with the front bumper.

The wheel wells are well profiled, it leads down to the base of the side skirts but also leaving a small opening for an air duct. The car slightly narrows down for the doors. The doors deeply cave in after reaching the middle before it inverts and connect with the side skirt. The body line then caves downwards towards the bottom of the car, stopping a few inches short of the rear wheel well. There is another vent situated behind the door and the groove the body line creates within the rear wheel well.

The Vulcan has a distinctive greenhouse like windshield when viewed from the side, so much that it has no A-Pillar, It extends up towards the side roof lining, as well as parts of the bodywork just below the window. The car's width increases as it reaches the rear fascia, similar to the Iridium. The roof is sleek, featuring a single vortex generator. Just behind it is the rear compartment to the engine. It has a piece of glass in the middle, and surrounding it is a series of carbon fiber louvers. It then continues down and rounds off. The extra space at the bottom is where the retractable spoiler rests.

At the rear, the taillights and the mesh grating create the illusion of it being combined as one. However there is a thin line of body work that separates the two. The taillights include multiple small LED blubs that are lined near the edge of the light housings. Just after the mesh sections is a small vent with three thin slats within them. The rear bumper has curved vents with mesh gratings on the inside. The left vent has a tow hook. The middle angles upwards to make space for the dual exhausts, which are angled as well. It comes with a carbon fiber diffuser.

The Vulcan sports unique rims not seen on any other vehicle in the game, It sports 6-spoke black rims and the spokes curves up towards the outer rim. It also has blue center locks and "*Split/Second*" written on the tire wall. The car's design is merely a black and white stripe that wraps around the edges of the rear, the deep section of the doors, the far sections of the roof and the hood. The rest of the car can be painted by the player's choosing.

The Vulcan has **7** colors:

* **Dark Slate Grey/Aquamarine**
* **Grey**
* **White**
* **Blue**
* **Dark Blue**
* **Yellow**
* **Orange**

## Performance

### *Split/Second*

The Vulcan is one of the more agile cars in Split/Second. Off the line, the car comes with great acceleration, as it takes little to no effort to reach medium to high speeds. When it comes to the corners, it has more grip than it's close rival, the Severus. This makes taking turns all the more easy, but caution is needed when accelerating at the beginning of a turn, as the car will slightly fish tail.

Since the Vulcan focuses mainly in grip, it's tradeoff is drifting. When initiating a drift, the car will slow down greatly but not enough to be detrimental, as coming out of a heavy drift will accelerate the car within a section to get back to medium speeds. The player would have to not drift during cornering or drift halfway whilst applying throttle control.

Against powerplays is what you would expect from any other supercar in Class A, it is greatly affected by most shockwaves that could send the car into a drift, though the Vulcan can be recovered fairly quickly.

The Vulcan not only can be dominate in grip, but can be dominate in overall speed, as it is a notch higher than the Severus. There are circumstances where the Vulcan can thrive but with the Severus' higher acceleration, it makes both cars very competitive in the hands of good drivers.

## Trivia

* The Vulcan is one of three cars that have their own unique engine sound. The other being the Brawler and Katana.
