Bristol T Fighter

[T7RY B]

The most powerful production car in the world has been launched by a luxury British manufacturer.

The Bristol Fighter T is set to hit the UK's roads next year and boasts a massive 1,012 horsepower.

The engine produces more power than the 252mph Bugatti Veyron, currently the most powerful production car, which has 1,001 horsepower and costs £810,000.

The £350,000 Fighter T will be hand built at the firm's plant in Filton, Bristol.

Its eight-litre V10 engine will propel the car from 0-60mph in less than 3.5 seconds and on to a theoretical top speed of 270mph, although Bristol will limit the speed of production cars to 225mph.

Only around 20 Fighters will be built every year, not all of them the range-topping T version, so owners will belong to an exclusive group.

Bristol Cars managing director Tony Crook said: "It has more power than the Bugatti but the end product is a very usable car which owners will be able to drive every day.

"We have been producing the Fighter and the Fighter S since 2004, but a lot of people said 'I want even more power' so that's what we've done."

The first Bristol Fighter T is expected to be completed in September 2007.

Looks like the 70s Marcos

[Rillo]

I really like the fact that for safety reasons they have limited the top speed to "only" 225 mph :D

[BigJon]

225mph in a Marcos look alike, not for me.

Will it stay on the ground, do you think?

It doesn't look much like a supercar does it?

[el_gencer]
