Bristol confirms powertrain for Project Pinnacle

By Rosie Ogden

Iconic British carmaker Bristol Cars this week announced its first new car in more than a decade, codenamed Project Pinnacle.

Project Pinnacle, which is set for launch later this year, will be a 70th anniversary celebration model referencing Bristol Cars’ rich heritage and executed as a modern take on the best of British craftsmanship, “engineered to excite and satisfy” as a high performance Bristol car.

The machinery underpinning this high performance new vehicle will be a BMW powerplant. The result, they promise, will be “a sublime British sports car with characteristics cultured uniquely for the first new Bristol since 2004”.

Bristol Cars was bought in 2011 and millions of pounds are being invested in the business by the newly-formed Bristol Automotive Group, with new products, strategic partnerships and technologies, a specialist new Parts, Service and Restoration facility in Brentford, West London, and an additional showroom on Kensington High Street.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
