Prototype previews 2017 production model of performance car; has a 4.8-litre BMW V8 engine

 

Had no idea Bristol was still around. I thought they folded in 2010.

 

They still exist under new management.
I pass by they showroom in Kensington every day.
Bristol has kept restauring, servicing and upgrading customers cars.
It must be the only car manufacturer that retrofit new technology on existing cars.
The new owner intended to relaunch the make with an hybrid car.
The Pinacle should be released later this year, as a very confidential car; only for the tiny group of Bristol followers.
