Background

The Bristol Bullet is a two-seat, open-top sports car produced by Bristol Cars. Originally announced under the working title of "Project Pinnacle" in 2015, it was first shown to the public under camouflage at the 2016 Goodwood Festival of Speed. The Bullet commemorates Bristol's 70th anniversary, and is the company's first all-new car since the Bristol Fighter, which was produced between 2004 and 2011, as well as the first Bristol car to utilize a carbon fibre body and a Morgan Plus 8 chassis. Power is sourced from a naturally aspirated 4.8-litre BMW V8 producing 400 bhp, but will be the last Bristol to do so before switching to forced induction engines. The retro design was a homage of the Bristol 405 Drophead coupé.
