THE upwardly mobile company car driver keen to win favour with the company boss could be suggesting the perfect accessory for the corporate yacht – the BAC’s built-to-order luxury BAC Marine Edition Mono.

Mono’s a salty tale!

  • BAC Marine Edition is based on the Mono supercar, powered by 305bhp 2.5-litre Mountune engine;
  • Complete with a carbon-fibre crane arm and lifting points for super-yachts;
  • Made from salt resistant anti-corrosion components
  • Costing £500,000.

Weighing in at a comparatively affordable £500,000, the bespoke single seat racer for the road is perfectly at home aboard any super-yacht. Weighing in at only 580kg, the Mono is ideally suited to life riding the crest of the financial waves where lean mass, performance and design count for than just money.

Based on the Model Year 2016 Mono, the 305bhp 2.5-litre Mountune-powered single-seater car is completely customisable inside and out, and has been created with a focus on luxury marine lifestyle.

It comes complete with a carbon-fibre crane arm designed to transport the Mono on top of any super-yacht; the crane arm can be universally used with all yacht crane systems.

The chassis has been developed with the crane arm in mind too, with custom chassis lifting points for super-yacht crane cradles and mounting to helipads, making sure that the Mono is secure while on board.

To ensure that the Marine Edition is kept protected in the salty climates, BAC has developed an anti-corrosive coating for components. BAC will deliver the car with an Environmental Control Container System to stow the car on board with temperature and humidity controls, guarding the car from the marine environment.

With a new dedicated factory in Liverpool, BAC are able to produce four cars per month to compete with strong demand from customers in the US, Europe, South America and Asia at its current capacity.

BAC co-founder Ian Briggs started his career in yacht design and said: “I started my career designing luxury yachts and I have wanted to combine my love of marine and automotive design ever since. The Marine Edition Mono represents purpose and style for a clientele that knows no compromise.”
