BAC Mono

​It was back in 2011 that Britain's Briggs Automotive Company (BAC) debuted its Mono single-seat street-legal high-performance sports car at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. At this year's event BAC has taken things further, with the "more advanced" Mono R.

In a world of big sedans and SUVs, the light, minimalist BAC Mono is a standout piece of art. As it turns out, it also makes an interesting canvas for a greater art project, with BAC brightening up its roadster with blue, red and yellow stripes to represent airflow along the length of the black body

Lotus and Lamborghini police cars aren't exactly patrolling every city block, but they've become regular enough that they no longer shock. But the latest police supercar has come as a surprise. The world's first Mono police car puts a single officer inside BAC's open-air, track-focused roadster.

When you already have one of the lightest, quickest single-seat roadsters available, you have to take some extreme measures to cut weight even more. Thus is the case with BAC and its new graphene-based Mono.
