Briggs Automotive Company (BAC) has started production, and delivery, of the new Mono R – a higher-performance, lighter and more advanced new generation of the iconic Mono supercar. Produced in very limited numbers, the Mono R is one of the most exclusive supercars in the world.
The 25th customer car will soon leave BACs manufacturing centre, which has seen recent investment in staffing, technology and manufacturing capability and sits alongside the recently opened innovation centre. Bespoke creations are at the heart of Mono, with each car built to a unique specification agreed with the BAC team after hours of client consultation, ensuring no two Mono Rs are the same.
The new supercar will be distributed around the world and will be on display at a number of new global dealer partners situated in the USA, Singapore, and Germany.
Mono R includes a number of industry firsts, just one is the inclusion of 44 graphene enhanced carbon composite body panels. Graphene, developed in partnership with Manchester University, is an innovative and lightweight material that brings weight and strength benefits.
Made of sheets of carbon just one atom thick, it is significantly lighter and stronger than standard carbon fibre, bringing weight reductions of around 20% while being 200-times stronger than steel.
Neill Briggs, BAC’s director of product development, said, “Mono is known around the world for its ultra-high-performance and the new Mono R takes that to a new level. A number of technological industry firsts feature within our latest model and that, along with its uncompromised design, means Mono R has become the new reference for supercars.
“We are proud to commence deliveries of Mono R to customers around the globe, and we know every new owner will be hugely impressed by the capabilities offered by our new halo model.”
