The owner of the newly finished Hampton Downs Motorsports racetrack, Tony Quinn, has added another exotic car to his collection of cars.
The Vulcan is a road legal car, but spec'd to a full GT3 standard.
The interesting note though, is that for a price tag of 4.3 million NZD dollars, this car is so low to the ground, that it would actually bottom out on the open road.
