You know a car that rare will have some impressive hardware, and the Vulca – named for the Etruscan sculptor – does not disappoint. According to F&M, the Vulca gets a 5.8-liter V10 producing 630 horsepower. F&M doesn’t say who’s making the engine, but BMW and Lamborghini make a ten-cylinder, though both displace less than 5.8 liters and so would have to be modified. Dodge makes one for the Viper, but it’s a massive 8.4 liters. Motor Authority says the Vulca also could come with a V12 producing between 445 and 630 horsepower, depending upon how big an engine the customer orders.
F&M doesn’t say anything more about the drivetrain, but the car rides on OZ Racing wheels and the interior is covered by a few acres of diamond-tufted leather. Carbon fiber and Alcantara is an option if you want a racier look. We don’t see any gauges behind the steering wheel, so all the vital data must be displayed on one of the two LCD screens in the center of the dashboard – unless that’s a heads-up display just to the left of the gargantuan hump in the middle of the dash. The Tuscan coachbuilder was founded by race car driver Antonio Faralli, who was later joined by Rosello Mazzanti. The two men have been joined by their sons, and the firm handcrafts every car. And by that we mean they’re using hammers, wrenches and scissors to build these aluminum cars. This is true old-world craftsmanship.
