Taking a lap in a £1.5m Aston Martin

Luxury carmaker Aston Martin is hoping its new Vulcan supercar will generate some much needed excitement and interest in the brand.

In recent years, the company has been losing money and is now undergoing a huge shake up.

And with a price tag of £1.5m the Vulcan is one of the most expensive cars built in the UK.

The BBC's Emma Simpson was the first passenger to be taken on a lap in Aston Martin's new supercar.
