Bristol Fighter T

Bugatti Veyron? wimpy. Bristol announce the 1012BHP 272MPH Bristol Fighter T...

British engineering at its most silly/awesome.

That's actually not too bad for a Bristol; a bit of Taimar and Marcos up top rear. Are they now the biggest UK manufacturer or do Morgan win by a nose?

Bristol, sad really that a car manufacturer named after beautiful pert breasts has continually created the ugliest cars on the planet

What a hideous website.

I'd like to see a real photo of one, too!

Kudos for trying to nail something together like that, mind! Apparently the final one looks quite different...heavily modified safety cell and some more bodywork.

got to be a viper in that and if it is it's pretty quick for a truck engine

strange company. Got the press release on this car last week. So much power from the modified Viper engine. Too much power maybe? Love to try and keep one under control with Bristol's lack of TC (they don't believe in it)

[DavePoth]

I reckon it'll be a bit more economical than the Veyron too(engine's half the size), and only a snip at £350k. As to the power, I reckon the power/weight ratio is probably worse than ALG1K, and we all know how much fun that is to keep in a straight line...

Sad that this monster is not packed in the typical understatement body of a Bristol. Otherwise it would be the logical next step for my daily 911 killer

As I always say, I'm not too bothered what my car looks like, as long as it looks good from the inside.

And to be honest, considering, at least in a straight line, it's a match for the veyron, it really does look fairly unassuming.
