In 2006, Bristol announced the Fighter T, a turbocharged version of the Fighter with a modified Chrysler V10 producing 1,012 bhp (755 kW; 1,026 PS) and 1,036 lb·ft (1,405 N·m) of torque at 4,500 rpm. This also marking the first turbocharged petrol powered V10 production car. The Fighter T will also benefit from a drag coefficient of Cd 0.27 (improved from Cd 0.28 on the standard model). Bristol claim that the car is capable of more than 270 mph (430 km/h); however it will be electronically limited to a "more than adequate" 225 mph (362 km/h). When the Fighter T went into production, it was more powerful than Bugatti Veyron, which has advertised 1,001 PS (736 kW; 987 bhp), but still less powerful than the 2007 Shelby Super Cars (SSC) Ultimate Aero TT. The first production cars were delivered in September 2007.

Famous quotes containing the word fighter:
“A pleasant smell of frying sausages
Attacks the sense, along with an old, mostly invisible
Photograph of what seems to be girls lounging around
An old fighter bomber, circa 1942 vintage.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
