From what I understand, it worked by measuring manifold vacuum.

Aston Martin Vulcan


Full info

Aston Martin | Vulcan - Coming Soon

PREPARE FOR TAKE-OFF

David King said: “We will be running a series of exclusive track day events commencing in 2016 that will offer the opportunity for these customers to explore their driving capabilities, and the car’s performance potential, on some of the world’s most famous and glamorous race circuits.”

Introducing the Aston Martin Vulcan – a track-only supercar and our most intense and exhilarating creation to date.

http://www.astonmartin.com/en/live/news/2015/02/24/on-track-for-glory-aston-martin-vulcan-prepares-for-take-off

Performance data, together with further technical details about the ultra-exclusive track-only supercar, will be released closer to its track debut later this year.

The Aston Martin Vulcan will make its world debut on the brand’s new stand at the 85th Geneva International Motor Show (Hall 5 Stand 5253) at 10.15am on Tuesday March 3.

Looks a lot like the Port of LA right now. Dockworkers union caused a shutdown - and you can't believe the benefits those guys get.
Today's paper said the container ships at anchor, because they can't unload, would reach 731 miles if placed end to end. Amazing.

From the mountains a week or two ago...

And as a result the airfreight industry is seeing a sharp increase in volume. Things got so bad last week at O'Hare that the cops put a halt to trucks entering the cargo facilities. Can't tell if things are tapering off because of the agreement they reached or Chinese New Year.
