The Bristol 450 was a successful sports car racing prototype model, designed in 1953 by Bristol Cars and based on the abortive ERA G-type Formula Two car of 1952. Although most sources state that only three 450s were built, photographic evidence suggests that at least four were in existence at one point in time. The cars were constructed specifically to contest the prestigious 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance race, at which they won both their class and the team prize in both 1954 and 1955. In addition to its race victories, the Bristol 450 also took a number of outright speed records for the 2-litre class during trials at the Montlhéry circuit in 1953. Following the 1955 Le Mans disaster, which killed Pierre Levegh and 83 spectators, Bristol withdrew from direct involvement in motorsport and

  • La Bristol 450 est une automobile de compétition conçue et engagée par le département compétition de Bristol au début des années 1950. Elle fut engagée en classe 1501 à 2 000 cm3 en endurance, principalement aux 24 Heures du Mans et aux 12 Heures de Reims. Elle connut une carrière sportive de 3 ans (de 1953 à 1955). La voiture fut construite sur un châssis conçu par Robert von Eberan Eberhorst et David Hodkin pour ERA (English Racing Automobiles), selon certaines sources, quatre châssis : trois exemplaires destinés à la course et un mulet (voiture d’essais) auraient été construits.

  • La 450 è un'autovettura da competizione prodotta dalla Bristol dal 1953 al 1955. La 450 era basata sulla G-type della English Racing Automobiles, che corse in Formula 2 nel 1952. Sebbene molte fonti riportano che della 450 fossero stati prodotti tre esemplari, alcune prove fotografiche suggeriscono che in realtà vennero assemblate quattro autovetture. Le 450 furono costruite essenzialmente per partecipare alla 24 Ore di Le Mans, dove si imposero, nella loro categoria, nel 1954 e nel 1955. Oltre a queste vittorie, le 450 stabilirono diversi record di velocità nel 1953 sul circuito di Montlhéry. Poco dopo la tragedia di Le Mans del 1955, dove morirono Pierre Levegh e 83 spettatori, la Bristol si ritirò dalle competizioni e gli esemplari della 450, tranne uno, vennero smantellati. (it)
