Bullet, the car that Bristol will launch on the coming 26th of July

Bristol is a brand of sports and luxury cars based in the town of Filton, very close to the one that gives the company its name. The philosophy of this brand is to deal directly with customers, so they have no dealerships or any other type of distributor. They send the finished cars directly to them. Although it had been five years since it last released a new model, it has just announced that on 26 July it will have a new car on the market.

The Bullet, which is the name we know this model will carry, was seen at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in prototype form, under the name Pinnacle. Attendees at this spectacular British event had the chance to see it, although only in an approximate form. The final result may be very different from what was seen there, but we will have to wait a few more days to find out.

This model arrives to celebrate the brand’s 70th anniversary, which is being marked throughout this year and which represents the first model since the Fighter, which was unveiled in 2011. Initially it was expected that this exclusive car would use hybrid propulsion, although it has been confirmed that it will only be available with a 4.7-litre V8 engine and naturally aspirated, sourced from the BMW plants.

Carbon fibre will feature heavily in the construction of this car, which will use this material to achieve a lightweight build. This will allow the engine specifications, although not yet known in detail, to deliver the best possible performance. If it keeps the shapes of the Pinnacle, we expect a car with a long bonnet and round headlights of very simple design, a styling that will be repeated in the fog lights and indicators.

If it keeps its sporting design, it will feature two roll hoops that will protect the drivers from any mishap. The mystery will continue until 26 June, when we will see whether the expectations placed on this car from one of the most exclusive companies in the world are met.
