Arion Bullet V '04
After the 2002 Pisces concept, in 2004, the Arion Bullet was re-incarnated into it’s fifth form. Having similar style to the Pisces and Cetus, with new dramatic design features such as a glass targa roof, and active front and rear aero both hidden into the body work to keep a silky smooth style.

The performance was astounding, with a 0-60 in almost under 4 seconds from it’s RWD, mid longitudinal V16 TwinTurbo mounted to the mostly Carbon Fibre weight of 1446kg. Top speed was hit at Bruntingthorpe Proving Ground of 211mph, not world record breaking but astounding as it stood. The pure speed it could hit made it rather hard to drive, but thankfully all the driver aids helped it be worthwhile on the road as well as it’s rather nice 36.3 MPG average.

The new Bullet V came with a variety of colours and also was purchasable from factory with twin stripes. One such scheme, was the England stripes, which was a limited edition of only 75 over the production run, showing pride in the country and for the company’s 75th anniversary. The England coloured ones had special stitching on the passenger side of the dashboard: “Bullet V - 75th Anniversary”

The active aerodynamics bound to the advanced body and engine made the Bullet V a stand out supercar. It sold extremely well, and gathered many more fans of the brand.
