I didn't add this back in the day when I first saw it and figured someone would post it up anyway. I saw it again recently in a magazine and just did a quick search here and nobody posted about it. The 1012hp Veyron killer is here. hould arrive in September this year.

[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]1012 bhp at 5600 rpm[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]1036 lb.ft of torque at 4500 rpm[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Bristol Cars have over a quarter of a century of turbocharging experience, for, in January 1980 they introduced UKs first turbocharged car the Bristol Beaufighter[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Functional exterior styling changes and mechanical alterations to suit the extra performance[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Lightweight sports interior[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]First deliveries of Fighter T expected September 2007[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]During the short time the Bristol Fighter has been on the market we have noted that owners tend to use the cars as everyday transport instead of a conventional car. They also love to use them for recreational or track day purposes.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]In spite of the Fighter and Fighter Ss very high performance, to our surprise we have sometimes been asked for more.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]The Fighter T (which will be an addition to the range) answers these requirements without losing one iota of street level credentials.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]At 3500 rpm the standard Fighter produces an impressive 525 lb.ft of torque. The Fighter T delivers more than 900 lb.ft at the same rpm, and continues to do so all the way up to the rev limit of 6000 rpm[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Drag factor reduced to 0.27 by a new rear wake diffuser.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]A potential maximum speed of more than 270 mph has been electronically limited to a more than sufficient 225 mph at 4500 rpm.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]0 to 60 mph in less than 3.5 seconds.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]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.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Bristol Cars believe that there is no other car with such a remarkable range of abilities

I watched a video on Bristol's arsenal of land rockets. Very impressive stuff. Has a distinctive TVR look.
 
There was a car they were talkin about in the latest episode of Top Gear that supposedly is a quad turbo V10 thats puttin out 1175? hp and capable of 270mph. Can't remember the name though.
 
No, it was more powerful than this. I'll watch it again and get the name of the car.

That thing was a monster. I remember using it in like NFS2 and just thinking to myself, wow.
 
yeah, it was my forst thought. maybe a nice jesture on their part for using the Viper engine in it
 
Corvet front end + Viper rear end + a hint of shelby cobra = Bristol Fighter T

I dont like the look at all, especialy the rear cockpit deal. But I guess you need to sacrifice looks for aerodynamics if you intend on going 225mph.
