The Briggs Automotive Company (BAC) has partnered
with the Isle of Man to create a one-off police car based on the BAC Mono.
Set to become an "active member" of the
police fleet, the car features a minimalist police livery and little else. The
changes aren't very drastic but the Mono is a single seater so its police
capabilities are somewhat limited to begin with.
The car will be shown at a number of local festivals
and officers will use it as a tool to encourage discussions about safe and
responsible driving. Considering the Mono is different from traditional
police cars, it will be driven exclusively by Andy Greaves who is described as
an advanced driver and police motorcyclist.
BAC didn't mention specifications for the police car
but the 2016 Mono has a 2.5-liter Mountune four-cylinder engine which produces 309 PS. It enables the 580 kg car to rocket from 0-60
mph in just 2.8 seconds.
