One of the most important automotive events in the United Kingdom, the Salon Prive, will host the public debut for the all-new Bristol Bullet Speedster.

Set to open its gates on September 1, the show will allow visitors to take a closer look at the latest British roadster.

The fresh design is a visual clue to the brand’s roots as an aeroplane manufacturer, but since Bristol adopts a modern approach, bespoke carbon fiber composites are part of its construction insuring high strength and rigidity with low weight.

Step inside and you will be greeted by the “hand-trimmed in the finest British hides” sport seats, developed for comfort over long driving distances and by the dashboard paneling offered in classic wood, modern herringbone carbon fiber weave or hand-laid unidirectional carbon fiber weave.

A multi-touch screen is embedded into the dashboard, providing access to WiFi, Bluetooth, smartphone connectivity and digital radio, and it also supports screen mirroring for compatible devices.

The Bristol Bullet Speedster is hand-made in Chichester, powered by a 4.8-liter V8 engine sourced from BMW and engineered in-house to develop 370 HP. Nicknamed Hercules, the mill propels the light roadster from naught to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 3.8 seconds and up to a top speed of 155 mph (250 km/h).
