The Bristol Fighter is a British sports car, manufactured by Bristol Cars in small numbers from 2004 until the cessation of manufacturing by Bristol Cars in 2011. It is generally classed as a supercar.[2][3]
The coupé body, which has gullwing doors, was designed by former Brabham Formula One engineer Max Boxstrom and gives the car a Cd of 0.28.
The car uses a front-mounted V10 engine of 7,996 cc (487.9 ci) based on that of the Dodge Viper and the Dodge Ram SRT-10pick up (it was originally based on the Chrysler LA engine), but modified by Bristol to produce 525 bhp (391 kW; 532 PS) at 5,600 rpm and 515 lb·ft (698 N·m) of torque at 4,200 rpm. This is in keeping with Bristol's use of Chrysler engines since 1961. In the more powerful Fighter S the engine is tuned to give 628 hp (660 hp at high speed using the ram air effect). The car's weight is 1,600 kg (3,527 lb).[1]
The car has a six-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission, and is rear-wheel drive. It can achieve the 0–60 mph (0–97 km/h) sprint in 4.0 seconds (claimed), and enjoys a power-to-weight ratio of 267.8 kW/ton (362 bhp/ton). The car has a claimed top speed of 210 mph (340 km/h)
It is claimed that only 13 Bristol Fighters were manufactured, making it one of the rarest cars in existence.
The Fighter is a low volume supercar built in Bristol, England. It is powered by a 525 bhp 8 litre Viper engine, which allows it to reach a top speed of 210 mph,
and hit 60 mph in 4 seconds. The Fighter S is tuned to 670 bhp and is capable of 225 mph, and the top of the range model, the Fighter T, is turbocharged to 1,012 bhp, giving it a projected top speed of 270 mph, although it is speed limited to 225.
Only around 13 Fighters were made before the Bristol company succumbed to financial issues in recent years, but the Fighter would make a fast and quirky addition to GT's supercar lineup...
