Bristol Bullet (automobile)

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.

Power is sourced from a naturally aspirated 4.8-litre BMW V8 producing 400 bhp (298 kW; 406 PS), 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.

The Bullet was officially revealed on 26 July 2016; hand-built production was due to start in Chichester in 2017, but Bristol cars was liquidated in 2020 with no cars produced.

[2] However, there are at least 8 completed chassis with BMW V8 running gear clearly visible in an urban explorer's video[3] of the site before the liquidation auction, but which do not appear to have been part of the liquidation auction.
