Aston Martin Vulcan is a powerful car to behold in Need for Speed Unbound. Released just a couple of days ago, Unbound is the brand-new mainline title of the popular aforementioned arcade racing franchise.

At Unbound, the cars are divided into five performance-based tiers: B, A, A+, S, and S+. Each car needs to be bought through a dealership by spending in-game cash, but there's a catch: different cars have different requirements to unlock.
