Liverpool-based Briggs Automotive Company (BAC) has developed the BAC Mono – the world’s first car to feature lightweight panels made with graphene composites. BAC worked with Haydale Composite Solutions Ltd on the trial of the car, which will incorporate graphene-enhanced carbon fiber in the Mono’s rear wheel arches.
The BAC Mono is a single-seater formula style car designed and manufactured using the latest racing technology. In addition to its new groundbreaking graphene application, it is also the world’s only road legal single-seater supercar. First launched in 2011, the BAC Mono made its official debut in Hong Kong in November 2015 in Hong Kong.
For the Mono, BAC and Haydale decided to focus on the rear wheel arches first in order because of their size and complexity, which allowed them to thoroughly test the graphene composites.
