Bristol
Fighter S
Central
to the Bristol Fighter S is the character created by a 8-litre V 10 engine. By
using a large, basic naturally aspirated engine Bristol have reduced
maintenance requirements and the problems often associated with smaller
capacity engines running on the limit. A 6-speed close ratio manual gearbox is
standard with an automatic transmission optional.
A
front mid-engine layout gives a 52 % rearward weight bias for improved
traction, handling balance and responsiveness.
The
exterior is made from hand beaten aluminium, Mixed with modern carbon fiber
composite panels. The body pf the Fighter S was designed to control the airflow
over every surface. Lift and drag characteristics are optimised using the same
principles as Land Speed Record cars. There are no wings or spoilers. High
speed stability is achieved by the aerodynamic body shape alone.
The
Fighter S has an opulent interior trimmed with Wilton carpet, extra soft
leather and extra thick soundproofing underlays.
