The first turbocharged Bristol was actually a 412, the Beaufighter, which debuted in 1980. The 603 wasn't turbocharged until 1982, in the Brigand.

The Beaufighter ia very close, though.

Spot on!

It was a bit of a trick question: the first turbocharged V8 was in fact the first production turbo ever, the Oldsmobile Jetfire. It debuted only a few weeks before the turbocharged '62 Chevrolet Corvair.

The Bristol Beaufighter was the third turbocharged V8, as far as I know, released shortly after the Pontiac Turbo Trans Am.
