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. 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-10 pick up (it was originally based on the Chrysler LA engine), but modified by Bristol to produce 525 hp
In 2006, Bristol announced the Fighter T, a turbocharged version of the Fighter. This had a modified version of the Chrysler V10 producing 1,012 hp and 1,036 lb·ft of torque at 4,500 rpm. This also makes it the first turbocharged petrol-powered V10 production car. The Fighter T also benefited from an improved drag coefficient of 0.27. Bristol claimed that the car was capable of more than 430 km/h; however it was be electronically limited to a "more than adequate" 362 km/h. When the Fighter T went into production, it was more powerful than Bugatti Veyron, which was advertised as having 987 hp, but still less powerful than the SSC Ultimate Aero TT. The first production cars were delivered in September 2007.
