new bristol Bullet
Whats your thoughts on this? Uses BMW 4.8 V8 and carbon fibre chassis. Not very pretty - but thats just my thoughts!

Horrendous! Plug ugly (to me anyway).
Less go faster styling - more blunderbuss grunt.
And it looks like it is suffering from extreme bloating - has it got the wind?

It's different!! not just another wind tunnel formed modern same shaped car, not sure I like it though.
You'd have to watch the door mirrors on low bridges!!

It's a bit slabby isn't it? I can't help thinking it would look a bit better with a bit of a waist to it: do those door tops really have to be at driver's neck height?

Do you think with a bit of a "squint" it has the lines of good old Austin Healy 3000- then been butchered!!

It would seem to have the front of the old 403/405, but the waist line is a little high (or are the occupants a bit short)
All in all, not exactly a "looker" but I do admire the optimism in trying to bring back what was a very high quality car, only time will tell.
Here for a good time not a long time!!

Is it a kit car? If not it's a good replica of one.

On further thought, it reminds me of a reworking of the front end of a Cobra.
Unfortunately, the design team forgot to stop squinting (taffy).

I have seen worse cars in the past.
Replace the mirrors and it looks much better.
Waistline very high but the front is ok for me.
I would be interested how they designed the rear side.
