We investigate here gravitational collapse of a perfect fluid with a linear isentropic equation of state p = k ρ. A class of collapse models is given which is a family of solutions to Einstein equations and the final fate of collapse is analyzed in terms of the formation of black holes and naked singularities. The collapse evolves from a regular initial data and the positivity of energy conditions and other physical regularity conditions are satisfied. As we provided here an explicit class, this gives useful insights into the endstates of collapse with a physically reasonable and relevant equation of state and for the cosmic censorship hypothesis.
