The internationally reputed UK-based car maker Bristol has gone ahead and launched a truly gorgeous new product, the Bullet car, that is designed to celebrate the brand's reappearance in public only five years after it very narrowly evaded bankruptcy.

The Bullet car features a body that features very liberal use of carbon fiber composite materials, something which allows it to maintain a high degree of strength without having a very high weight. The vehicle's materials and design are clearly inspired by aviation heritage as well as vintage luxury vehicles.

This is a beautifully designed vehicle that manages to offer a perfect marriage between vintage-inspired designs and modern use of materials, such as carbon fiber composites.
