Briggs Automotive Company (BAC) has
officially launched the Mono One final edition, marking the end of the chapter
for the iconic single-seater supercar. Only three examples will be made, each
finished as per the automaker’s corporate colours: Iconic White, Carbon Black,
and Neon Red. They carry a flat price of £ 158,950, should you be
interested.
All three get visible carbon-fibre lower
bodies, special edition carbon-hybrid alloys finished in unique colour schemes,
new and unique logos around the car, commemorative plaque, and customised seat
and steering wheel. There’s also a Bjork robot-inspired logo (a nod to Bjork’s
1999 ‘All Is Full Of Love’ music video, said to inspire the Mono’s primary
aesthetic) that’s featured on the wing and the headrest.
The Iconic White variant is finished in
gloss white, which is the colour of the first-ever Mono launched in 2011. It’s
also the most popular paint option for the Mono in the past 10 years. The
Carbon Black, on the other hand, features exposed CF bodywork with contrasting
red logos, stitching, and wheel decals. The Neon Red comes with white body
decals and red accents. All three variants come with a one-off helmet with
Bjork robot-inspired livery.
BAC will be introducing the
next-generation Mono at the Geneva International Motor Show next month, with
production set to take place in 2021. To recap, the outgoing Mono is powered by
a longitudinally-mounted 2.5 litre four-cylinder engine developed by Mountune,
which makes 309 PS and 308 Nm of torque.
The engine is paired with a F3-spec
six-speed sequential gearbox from Hewland. It sprints from 0-97 km/h in 2.7 seconds before maxing out at 274 km/h, and weighs just 580 kg dry. The
BAC Mono R is even more potent with 345 PS from the same engine, and does the
0-97 km/h sprint in 2.5 seconds. The Mono has since found homes in over 40
different countries around the world.
