Bristol

England’s Most Eccentric Sports-Car 

Maker Launches the Bullet

It’s been two years since we first told you about the plans of Bristol, arguably Britain’s most eccentric low-volume sports-car maker, to build a new model. Back then, we were told that the company was planning its relaunch for 2015, and that the new car would have a hybrid powertrain.

.

Neither of those things has happened, and although development of the gasoline-electric version is said to still be underway, the Bristol Bullet will be powered by a BMW-sourced V-8. We’re also told that production is expected to begin in early 2017, although it’s fair to say that we’re not holding our breath on that.

Bristol Cars is excited to unveil the first new Bristol car since 2003 in the shape of an all-new 70th Anniversary model - the Bristol BULLET. 
The BULLET is a reference to Bristol Cars’ rich and exciting heritage, executed as a modern example of the best of British craftsmanship and engineered to excite as a high performance Bristol car.

Underpinning the BULLET is a BMW V8 powerplant. The result is a sublime British sports car with characteristics uniquely cultured for the first new Bristol in thirteen years.
Bristol BULLET signifies the re-birth of the brand with a design and character respecting the company’s rich British heritage – in aviation, commercial and luxury automotive – delivered with a contemporary approach to performance and comfort.
