As a response to Aston Martin’s DB AR1 (previously launched by their British rivals), Bristol announced the introduction of a new fast luxury roadster, the Blenheim Speedster.
Borrowing Blenheim Speedster prototype’s classic design and based on the modern 2-door Blenheim, the new model was allegedly clocked within 5 seconds on the 0-60 mph sprint and topped around 160 mph. Originally assembled to commemorate the company’s 1950 prototype, the Blenheim Speedster was only produced in about 15 units and benefited from a 5.9L V8 engine delivering up to 390 lb-ft of torque.
