Neat site... but what's up with the quote.....

"The eight litre V-10 engine and transmission have been specially developed to suit Bristol's requirements whilst the chassis is an all new design."


Did DC re-develop the Viper engine for Bristol?

Seems silly to develop a car based on an engine that is now out of production. Looks like the Bristol will be the Modern "Tiger" (Ford V-8 stuffed in British car)

I've read else where the engine will be slightly tweaked and will be producing
an extra 80-100bhp

Bristol says 525BHP/525TQ on their website. Looks like they are using the whole Viper drivetrain. With a warmed up viper engine in front and 285/40's on the back, it's going to be hard getting traction.
