Video: on track in the Aston Martin Vulcan

An 820bhp, £1.8m limited-edition Aston Martin. The Yas Marina circuit at midnight. Some fire. Yes, in the new issue of Top Gear magazine, we get to grips with Aston Martin's astonishing Vulcan.

On sale today, TG magazine gets a world exclusive first drive of the track-only supercar, tested to its extremes at Abu Dhabi's Formula One circuit. 

That's not all. We also take the new BMW M2 - one of the most anticipated performance cars of 2016, and indeed one of the most anticipated BMW M cars - out on track to see how it stacks up.

Elsewhere, we've got a world exclusive first set of interviews with the brand new presenters of Top Gear telly, who talk to us about their driving experiences, dream guests for the show, favourite cars and much, much more.

Oh, and there's the small matter of a first drive in Pagani's hardcore, limited edition 789bhp Huayra 'BC'; a car named after Mr Pagani's first customer and mentor. A huge honour then, for a huge car. 

The issue's also packed with more first drives too: the new 911, a twin-test between the Lexus GS-F and BMW M5, Kia Sportage, Volkswagen Tiguan and Ford F350, to name a few.
