BAC history

Briggs Automotive Company (BAC) was founded in 2009 by brothers Neill and Ian Briggs, former consultants for prestigious brands such as Mercedes, Porsche, Bentley, and Ford. Their ambition was to create a single-seater supercar delivering exceptional performance on both road and track. In 2011, BAC unveiled the Mono at the Retro Classics Show in Stuttgart, marking the start of its production. The Mono is powered by a Cosworth 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine producing 285 hp, enabling acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.8 seconds and a top speed of 274 km/h. In 2019, BAC launched the Mono R version, lighter and more powerful, with a limited production of 30 units. In 2023, the 150th unit of the Mono was delivered, reflecting the brand's continued success. (bac-mono.com)
