The Bristol Bullet[1] is a two-seat, open-top sports car produced by Bristol Cars. Originally announced under the working title of "Project Pinnacle" in 2015, it was first shown to the public under camouflage at the 2016 Goodwood Festival of Speed. The Bullet commemorates Bristol's 70th anniversary, and is the company's first all-new car since the Bristol Fighter, which was produced between 2004 and 2011, as well as the first Bristol car to utilize a carbon fibre body and a Morgan Plus 8 chassis. Power is sourced from a naturally aspirated 4.8-litre BMW V8 producing 400 bhp (298 kW; 406 PS), but will be the last Bristol to do so before switching to forced induction engines. The retro design was a homage of the Bristol 405 Drophead coupé.

This article is about the sports car. For the 1920s racing biplane, see Bristol Bullet.

The Bullet was officially revealed on 26 July 2016; hand-built production was due to start in Chichester in 2017, but Bristol cars was liquidated in 2020 with no cars produced.[2] However, there are at least 8 completed chassis with BMW V8 running gear clearly visible in an urban explorer's video[3] of the site before the liquidation auction, but which do not appear to have been part of the liquidation auction.[4]

Der Bristol Bullet ist ein offener zweisitziger Sportwagen des britischen Automobilherstellers Bristol Cars, der im Juli 2016 vorgestellt wurde. Der im Retro-Design gestaltete Roadster war das einzige Fahrzeug, das der traditionsreiche Hersteller nach der Insolvenz 2011 und der anschließenden Übernahme durch einen neuen Investor vorstellte. Mit ihm wollte Bristol die vor 70 Jahren begründete Beziehung zu BMW neu beleben. Der Bullet zitiert stilistisch einige Vorgaben klassischer Bristol-Modelle, hat aber technisch keine Verwandtschaft mit ihnen. Eine Serienproduktion kam nicht zustande. Bristol Cars ist seit Ende 2019 erneut insolvent.
