Bristol Fighter 8.0 V10 532

The Bristol Fighter 8.0 V10 532 reaches 60 mph in 3.78 s (100 km/h in 3.94 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 11.97 s, tripping the lights at 120.3 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 1.98 s and the eighth mile in 7.81 s, reaching 100 mph in 8.31 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the Fighter 8.0 V10 532

The 2002 Bristol Fighter 8.0 V10 532 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated car of 1,540 kg with 524 bhp, which works out at 340 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 340 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 1.98 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 876th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest tenth, and the 5th quickest of the 21 Bristols here. Its 120.3 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Bristol Fighter 8.0 V10 532 0-60 time?
The Bristol Fighter 8.0 V10 532 reaches 60 mph in 3.78 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 876th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Bristol Fighter 8.0 V10 532 quarter mile time?
11.97 s at 120.3 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 7.81 s and clears the first 60 ft in 1.98 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Bristol Fighter 8.0 V10 532 have?
524 bhp and 1,540 kg, which is 340 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 338 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Bristol Fighter 8.0 V10 532?
Closest here on pace: Ruf RGT (2006) (3.77 s), Alfa Romeo Giulia QV (3.65 s), Audi R8 4.2 FSI Quattro Mk I facelift (3.78 s). Each one can be raced against the Bristol Fighter 8.0 V10 532 in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Bristol Fighter 8.0 V10 532 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 2 of its 2 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
