Bristol to complete assembly of five Fighter supercars with an 8.0-liter V10
British company Bristol Cars plans to complete the assembly of five Fighter supercars in 2026, using original unfinished chassis, components and engineering drawings. One completed car has already been unveiled at the Salon Privé exhibition at Blenheim Palace, where Bristol marked the 80th anniversary of its history, Motor1 reports.
Five cars on original chassis
The company confirmed that it has five unused original Fighter chassis, along with related parts and drawings. One chassis was used for the car shown at Salon Privé, while the other four cars are planned to be completed over the coming months.
Each Bristol Fighter will be hand-built in the United Kingdom in cooperation with a partner specializing in low-volume production. Future owners will be able to customize the car individually and choose a right- or left-hand-drive version. Prices will be provided upon request.

Naturally aspirated V10
The Bristol Fighter was first introduced in the early 2000s. It was the brand's last car before production ceased in 2011. The two-seat supercar stood out for its low body that tapered toward the rear and vertically opening doors.
The new examples will retain the naturally aspirated 8.0-liter V10 engine. In the standard version, it produces 525 hp, while a 600-hp modification will also be available. The claimed top speed is up to 210 mph, or approximately 338 km/h. The project is intended to combine supercar performance with the qualities of a grand tourer for long-distance journeys.
The revival of Bristol Cars is being led by the company's owner and director, Paul King, and Bristol Cars chairman Richard Hackett. According to Motor1, Hackett was previously close to Tony Crook, who played an important role in the history of the previous Fighter production run.
