Bristol Cars announces relaunch with Fighter supercar

Bristol Cars is relaunching its production by completing the Bristol Fighter, a supercar project that was originally halted when the company ceased manufacturing in 2011. The brand unveiled a completed model at the Salon Privé at Blenheim Palace to celebrate its 80th anniversary.

Rather than developing a new prototype, the company is utilizing five original, unused chassis from the initial Fighter program. The project is being supervised by owner and director Paul King, using the original blueprints, components, and specifications.

The Bristol Fighter is a two-seater supercar featuring vertical doors and an 8.0-liter V10 engine. The standard configuration produces 525 CV, while a high-performance version offers 600 CV, capable of reaching top speeds of up to 338 km/h. One chassis has been completed, leaving four available for client commissions.
