Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use British English Шаблон:Infobox automobile The Bristol Fighter is a sports car produced by Bristol Cars in small numbers from 2004 until the company suspended manufacturing in 2011. It is generally classed as a supercar.[1][2]

The coupé body, which features gullwing doors, was designed by former Brabham Formula One engineer Max Boxstrom[3] and gives the car a Cd of 0.28.[4]

The car uses a front-mounted Шаблон:Convert V10 engine, based on the engine in 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 Шаблон:Convert at 5,600 rpm and Шаблон:Convert 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 produce 628 hp (660 hp at high speed using the ram air effect). The car's weight is Шаблон:Convert.[5]

The car has a six-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission, and is rear-wheel drive. It can achieve the Шаблон:Convert sprint in 4.0 seconds (claimed), and enjoys a power-to-weight ratio of Шаблон:Convert. The car has a claimed top speed of Шаблон:Convert and the driver can be Шаблон:Convert tall at maximum.

Although sketches and models had been publicized some time before, a complete car was first shown to the press in May 2003. The first drive by a car magazine appears to be that in the April 2005 issue of Evo magazine.

It is not known exactly how many Bristol Fighters were manufactured, but the number is between 9 and 14.

Fighter T

In 2006, Bristol announced the Fighter T, a turbocharged version of the Fighter. This was planned to have a modified version of the Chrysler V10 producing Шаблон:Convert and Шаблон:Convert of torque at 4,500 rpm. This also would have made it the first turbocharged petrol-powered V10 production car. The Fighter T was designed to have an improved drag coefficient of 0.27. Bristol claimed that the car would be capable of more than Шаблон:Convert; however it would have been electronically limited to a "more than adequate" Шаблон:Convert.

The Bristol Cars website now states that in fact, no Bristol Fighter T's were ever produced "... (the planned turbo version with 1050bhp never did make it to production)... " [1]
