Tråd: Bristol at afsløre hybrid supercar

Britiske luksus bil marque Bristol er at afsløre en helt ny hybrid elektrisk model år. Bristol biler, berømt for 67 år af gentleman GTs, er tæt på afsløringen en helt ny hybrid superbil, måske snarest Julys Goodwood Festival of Speed.
Den nye bil vil bruge en range-udvidet powertrain udtænkt af Bristols associeret selskab Frazer-Nash, Surrey-baserede forskning firma drives af indiske tech iværksætter Kamal Siddiqi, der også ejer rettighederne til Wankel roterende motor.
Bristol menes at sende permanent elektriske drev til alle fire hjul, med en benzinmotor — sandsynligvis en kompakt roterende — kraftoverførsel en generator for at fodre en bank af lithium-ion-batterier. Frazer-Nash kilder er hemmelighedsfuld om biler præcis layout og udseende, men sige en ekstern konsulent vil style bilen.
I 2009 i samarbejde med Turin-baseret design hus Italdesign, Frazer-Nash viste Torun range-udvidet superbil koncept, som brugte sin egen design system af særskilte motorer for hvert hjul, plus hvad Fraser-Nash ingeniører kalder digital forskelle for at implementere drejningsmoment intelligent. Bilen havde en 813cc Wankel motor driver en generator til at oplade lithium ion batterier monteret i ryggen på chassiset.
Frazer-Nash har givet nogen indikation, når det har planer om at sætte Bristol produktion, men taler om sit ansvar som vogtere af mærket, og har bekræftet sin hensigt at bygge bilen.

British luxury car marque Bristol is to reveal an all-new hybrid electric model this year. Bristol Cars, famous for 67 years of gentlemans GTs, is close to unveiling an all-new hybrid supercar, perhaps as soon as Julys Goodwood Festival of Speed.
The new car will use a range-extended powertrain devised by Bristols associate company Frazer-Nash, the Surrey-based research firm run by Indian tech entrepreneur Kamal Siddiqi, who also owns the rights to the Wankel rotary engine.
The Bristol is believed to send permanent electric drive to all four wheels, with a petrol engine — probably a compact rotary — powering a generator to feed a bank of lithium ion batteries. Frazer-Nash sources are secretive about the cars precise layout and looks, but say an outside consultant will style the car.
In 2009, in co-operation with Turin-based design house Italdesign, Frazer-Nash showed the Namir range-extended supercar concept, which used its own-design system of separate motors for each wheel, plus what Fraser-Nash engineers call digital differentials to deploy torque intelligently. The car had an 813cc Wankel engine driving a generator to charge lithium ion batteries mounted in the spine of the chassis.
Frazer-Nash has given no indication when it plans to put the Bristol into production, but talks of its responsibility as custodians of the brand, and has confirmed its firm intention to build the car.
