Following recent news of its resurrection, Bristol Cars has announced it will unveil its debut model to the public at the start of September.

Blenheim Palace’s Salon Privé event, which runs from 1-3 September, will provide the setting for the Bristol Bullet to make its public bow. Bristol’s comeback model will be launched on the 70th anniversary of the British marque’s founding. Constructed from bespoke carbon fibre composites, the 4.8-litre powered Bullet will be capable of 155mph. The British speedster will be available with a six-speed manual gearbox or automatic transmission.

The Bullet may set you back a cool quarter of a million of our english pounds, but Bristols are built to last, 70% of all the cars that Bristol have made since 1947 are still on the road.

Julian Ramshaw, General Manager of Bristol Cars Ltd, said: ‘’The Bullet celebrates 70 years of design and innovation at Bristol Cars. This unique speedster sets the tone for the future of Bristol Cars – with a focus on luxury, performance and elegance it really is the ultimate driver’s car. We are delighted that the first public showing of the Bristol Bullet will be at Salon Privé.’’
