BAC introduced the 2016 Model Year Mono to the world at this year's Goodwood Festival of Speed, with an unofficial road car record-breaking run on the famous hillclimb. With a series of runs comfortably within sub 50-seconds, and a fastest time of 47.9 seconds, the Mono is able to compete with many dedicated racing cars.

The blistering runs capped off a successful Festival of Speed for BAC, where they met countless enthusiasts on the manufacturer lawn and entertained current and potential customers at the BAC bespoke customer experience zone, featuring several cars, a cutaway chassis, technical exhibits and an owners' lounge. 

With BAC test driver Oliver Webb at the wheel, the Goodwood hillclimb time was set in BAC's 2016 Model Year Mono, featuring an all new 2.5-litre Mountune four-cylinder engine producing 305bhp, 25bhp more than the previous 2.3-litre Cosworth engine. The revised car weighs in at just 580kg, giving an incredible 526bhp per tonne. The new 2016 Model Year Mono also includes a drive-by-wire throttle as well as a bespoke driver fitment culminating in a custom steering wheel and seat tailor-made for the owner. 

BAC is working towards a coherent strategy and this has enabled them to focus on cutting-edge product development and commercialisation via key export markets in the U.S.A, South America, Japan and Asia. As the company grows rapidly, it is developing partnerships with complementary luxury companies, and BAC is becoming increasingly known as a unique British brand in the top tier of the global luxury market.
