FIGHTER S RANGE

Twin turbocharged and intercooled 8 litre V10 all aluminium engine.

1012 bhp at 5600 rpm.

Bristol Cars have more than a quarter of a century of turbocharging experience, for, in January 1980 they introduced the UK's first turbocharged car - the Bristol Beaufighter.

Exclusive exterior styling changes and desirable mechanical alterations to suit the extra performance.

Special lightweight sports interior.

Despite it's unrivalled performance the Fighter T is absolutely suitable to be used as every day transport in addition to recreational or track-day purposes.

The Fighter T answers it's owners wish for ultimate performance without losing one iota of street usability.

Kerb weight only 1595 kg. 52% on rear wheels.

At 3500 rpm the standard Fighter produces a remarkable 525 lb.ft of torque. The Fighter T delivers a scarcely believable 900 lb.ft at the same rpm, and remains above that figure all the way up to the rev limit of 6000 rpm.

Drag factor reduced to 0.25 by a new rear wake diffuser.

A potential maximum speed of more than 270 mph has been electronically limited to a more than sufficient 225 mph at only 4500 rpm.

0 to 60 mph takes less than 3.5 seconds.

Responding to the needs of some exacting customers we have created a very special Fighter variant which, as ever, remains a compact and enjoyable car to drive around town or as an exhilarating track car. Yet it takes two people and their luggage in great luxury and ease for trans continental travel.

Bristol cars believe that there is still no other car worldwide with such a remarkable range of abilities.
