Bristol's Fighter is a new and exciting type of supercar. Designed entirely according to engineering and aerodynamic principles, it is intended to represent the finest and most exciting way for two people to travel by road.
Driving is quite simply the Fighter's raison d'etre. It is designed to be exceptionally agile and accurate in its responses so as to provide maximum reward for the enthusiastic driver. Bristol's aerospace expertise has created a car that is remarkably light in weight yet sets new standards for structural stiffness and strength. The Lowest attainable centre of gravity is allied to Bristol's trademark front mid-engine design giving a 52% rearward weight bias for improved traction, handling balance and responsiveness.
In a world where cars are styled first and tested for function afterwards the Fighter is again unique. The entire body was designed by engineers from the outset to control the airflow over every surface. Lift and drag characteristics have been optimised using the same principles as successful Land Speed Record cars. There are no wings or venturis, nor are they needed. High-speed stability is absolute while the drag coefficient is a class leading 0.28 to the benefit of performance and fuel economy. In short a new aerodynamic standard has been set.
Bristol's new Fighter is designed without the usual cost constraints and coachbuilt by proud and conscientious artisans. For the experienced and highly discerning motorist there is no better way to travel from A to B however great or small that distance may be.
Компания была основана Сэром Джорджем Вайтом. С 1910 года она занималась производством летательных аппаратов.
После ВОВ «Bristol Aeroplane Co» получила из Германии, в порядке репараций, обширную техническую документацию мюнхенской фирмы BMW по серийным и перспективным авто, в том числе, спортивным BMW 327 и BMW 328. Было решено переоборудовать несколько цехов для производства легковых автомашин.
Сегодня фирма ориентируется на состоятельных покупателей и производит автомобили высшего класса с довольно богатой комплектацией. Компания выпускает около 100 машин в год. Компания «Bristol Cars Ltd» - одна из последних аристократичных автомобильных марок Англии. // Авто@Mail.Ru
