Bespoke British supercar gets royal seal of approval
20 Oct 2016|819 views
The exemplary work of Liverpool-based Briggs Automotive Company (BAC) has been given the royal seal of approval by their Royal Highnesses, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
At the University of Manchester's National Graphene Institute on Friday, 14th October, BAC founders Neill and Ian Briggs showcased their highly acclaimed Mono supercar to Prince William and his wife Kate Middleton. His Royal Highness Prince William even took to the cockpit of the British-built, single-seater Mono, which is constructed using the innovative and lightweight material graphene.
In fact, it's the first car in the world to use graphene in the production process, with a composite making up the rear wheel arches and providing weight-saving as well as body-strengthening benefits. BAC has enjoyed success all around the world and has exported its Mono supercar to 28 countries across five continents since its launch in 2011. Yet the brand remains proud of its British heritage and strives to use locally sourced parts in its production process.
The Mono is built from 1,250 unique components from 100 suppliers, 95 percent of which are based in BAC's homeland. Naturally, this drew plenty of interest from the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, who were very impressed with the Mono and labelled it 'amazing'.
