06:43 “I don’t want to get too nerdy with you” . No no DO carry on. This is the kind of journalism that elevates carfection beyond the influencers of the automotive world. This insight and understanding is something they can rarely provide. Asking the right questions, making manufacturers impart the right level of knowledge in front of the camera, and making it engaging for the viewers. Keep going because this is awesome content.
it's just amazing isn't it?
Bravo Punit! Well said. And as always, Bravo Carfection.
Thanks, you get exactly what we're trying to do.
Absolutely! Fascinating engineering, and beautiful with it too. This is what it's about. And what a thing. The best I can hope for is hopefully some day I will be able to afford 30 minutes in one of these. Wow!
If this isn't the adience for nerdy details... I don't know what is :)
Mr.Briggs was brilliant here. He was engaging to listen to, knowledgeable, didn't come across as spouting a bunch of BS marketing waffle.
Really good content.
Like a company who's name starts with a Z and rhymes with singer...?
@@zimcam1 was gonna say the same thing. Only with less tact. That dude talks a good game, but I just can't deal with him.
thats what you get when the people in charge are part of the community they cater to
I don’t know... How else would we find out if the BAC Mono is “emotional” enough?
@@spinal_capped now that Iinvoked some emotions!
Notice how those future planned 3D printed wheel spokes are starting to look like bones.
it's the only disappointment. I would have loved to see those wheels made real. out of printed carbon for example...
@@zimcam1 Yes, so many great materials available now for 3D printing. Even PEEK plastic might be an option for wheels.
@@zimcam1 I think that he was probably talking about metal printing which still an aerospace technology in terms of cost, so not suitable for a boutique manufacturer.
@@MuitoDaora look again. Advancements have been made
@@zimcam1 personally, I'd opt for them to be made from bone instead
It was so refreshing and inspiring to hear such honest, humble and straightforward words from a designer. The car is painfully beautiful. Thank you, Carfection for the video.
Agree completely. Incredible car and one of the most captivating and informative interviews I've ever seen with a car designer. No BS hyperbole or marketing nonsense. Everything he said rang true and the evidence was right there in front of you. This presentation is exactly the way to get people to put faith in your brand.
And kudos too to Carfection for the simple yet beautiful presentation and intelligent questions with time allowed for the thoughtful and detailed responses.
"I don't want to get too nerdy with you."
"No! Please do!"
Exactly why I love your reviews
This is a real video about a car, with a great person talking about it. I could listen to Mr. Briggs talking about the Mono for hours.
Absolute polar opposite to the crap from Czinger
gafrers why you think Czinger is crap?
Why do you consider the Czinger to be crap?
While I agree I like this guy better. The Czinger CEO wasn't too bad, and their 3d additive printing was jaw dropping technology. Did you see those wishbones, on the Czinger c12, wow.
As an engineer I can only dream of working on a project like this with such lofty design goals and far reaching technical access
What do you currently develop?
Finally, an interview with someone wearing normal human trousers.
@@creamwobbly Now everybody's looking.
Including Ian...
Ryan Miller
OK Mr Pretends to look like a lumberjack to coverup the fact he cries when he watches romantic comedies with his boyfriend.
@@muntee33 😂😂
With an original design is so gorgeous and timeless, it's hard to improve on it. Also imagine having koenigsegg's freevalve system in this car.
And thumbs up on the video / reporting.
The three cylinder freevalve Konigsegg 600ps engine please!
Very enjoyable 21 some minutes - went very quick. Interviewer and interviewee both talking and presenting themselves naturally. No quips, no jokes, no stunts. Just really great journalism...
WOW. That guy is passionate about his job. Rare treat in life. No sales pitch. Just the engineering facts mix with design. Well done.
Wow. That was brilliant. Another 10 points for the best auto channel on TH-cam. I simply cannot wait for the driving review.
I love British engineering. If just British manufacturing could be on the same level
Yeah it turns out it's the manufacturing that's the hard part. Who would have thought that cost no object engineering could result in cool shit.
well, the manufacturing of this beast is pretty darn impressive too..
@@Real_MisterSir
Well, they aren't trying to build 60 or more an hour
@@mpetersen6 And???? what does that have to do with either OP's or my comment?
It is British manufacturering
With Henry and Mr Briggs, how can this not be an amazing video! Henry, PLEASE in the future make even nerdier vids!
Watching as he explains the manufacturing processes he can use opposed to mass manufacturers, using the newer printing techniques, give you a whole new insight to the BAC Mono. You realise by the time Henry gives you the price that for something so well designed, with so much thought going in to how to produce and save weight, this is something special. That price doesn't seem so high when compared to some of those supercars, for something that is going to give you a proper single seater experience.
The BAC Mono is an insanely focused car but this video, an intelligent interviewer asking good questions, a consummate engineer answering them and an amazing comparison showing how improvements can be made on something that might have already been considered the pinnacle, thanks to engineering and advances in technology, if only every video aimed at the auto enthusiast could be so interesting. Well done.
Fantastic.
Love these in-depth engineer / designer chats.
More please.
These guys really understand design. A small story, my early car had an off the shelf fire extinguisher bracket that had fractured so I ordered a replacement. It came few days later and I was amazed to see a bespoke beautifully milled piece of aluminium complete with weight saving cutouts in the shape of the BAC logo.
Remember this is a part few owners will ever see.
That’s the kind of attention to detail you get from a really passionate designer.
The beauty in the MONO goes all the way through it, amazing car.
As a preteen this is what I thought My go cart looked like. Now in year 70 I lust for this new ride.
I would absolutely love to have a new Mono with the incredible AI design. It's so organic, and new, and it's just ahead of the curve.
Also, the calliper looks so sinewy and muscular !
same, i would also take the ai rim it looks amazing
Very proud this is a produced to such high standard in Liverpool. Such a unique and beautiful design
Paging Koenigsegg for his "Tiny Friendly Giant" engine!
Haha..I said a similar thing. Especially the free valve system.
It really IS a thing of beauty. When you watch an interview like this, you can appreciate the thought invested in balancing power, weight, packaging and aerodynamics. These guys are smart, dedicated and passionate people.
I think it would be so cool to have a formula 1 style racing series where everyone starts with a mono and can develop the car with it having to be street legal as the regulations. I can dream at least.
the problem will be that they can do mutch, its probably that good and that close to the edge from the start.
@@SoYFooD2 I disagree. Competition has the ability to make massive improvements to anything.
@@sgsheff The problem is Briggs Automotive don't like people doing things on their cars.
@@SoYFooD2 never underestimate the minds of people who want to beat someone else in a competitive field. F1 keeps adding improvements every year, and it's for a reason. We constantly learn and develop new methods and approaches to vehicle components, aerodynamics, engine designs, etc. It's a field that will never die. The only thing I would add, would be a max price point for the vehicle cost, so that large manufacturers can't just pour billions into R&D and overrule any small volume manufacturers.
The enthusiasm on Mr Briggs and the engagement on Henry when they're talking about this car is amazing !
Great video. I love that Henry asks relevant questions and then most importantly allows the guest to speak. Rather the the presenter trying to get their opinions or impressions across.
When tuned to X class, this car is ferocious in Forza. That's the only context I have for it.
A Rolling Cheat Code
@@TheyCallMeMidnight It's a beast against most cars. Understeer is a problem but apart from that, insane.
The carbon fiber-filled plastic used for the mirror arms. Not only does the material cut down on weight, they made them hollow to reduce drag & even more weight than if they were solid bc they knew the material was durable & strong. The attention paid is amazing
Love Henry's 'on road videos' as much as the next, but oddly enough this style is where he's at his best. He gets people talking about cars better than anyone else. Very interesting
"I don't want to get too nerdy with you" I enjoy this better than most movies, so please do more! :)
Getting nerdy is the best part, and what keeps me and others coming back time and again. Thank you for the in-depth look and total escapism, for me, in strange times. Be safe guys!!
I like how even though the overall shape of the BAC Mono is the same, even though the changes externally, no matter how significant it is from a functional standpoint, still looks the same, because the shape's really nice.
As a car designer I can usually read through alot of bullshit when my peers are interviewed. Glad to see the chief designer kept it to a minimum and did a hell of a job also on the mono. Very nice!
Fascinating and tantalizing. Now Henry absolutely has to drive it.
Change is easy, improvement is far more difficult - Some German
Once again Henry Catchpole and Camera crew have achieved! My utmost thanks to them and Mr Briggs.
I kinda like the older one more. The array of lights just look stunning.
An amazing and innovative company. Stunning product, beautifully engineered. Well done BAC and to all your partners for the team effort. Best wishes for the future.
I adore the focused nature of this car. Compared with hyper cars which despite the name are ultimately compromised in several ways, this thing is absolutely pure and beautiful.
Those wheels are gorgeous
perfect machine for social distancing!
@TJ Thunder LOL these are not just social distancing vehicles... these are end of the world vehicles! Just missing a top mounted .50 cal!
Amazing work by BAC. And this guy is rare... And industrial/product designer who can talk like an engineer. Great stuff.
BAC was founded by brothers Neill and Ian Briggs in 2009.
The first Mono car was produced in 2011 and made its inaugural public appearance at the VIP launch of the Retro Classics show in Stuttgart, Germany.
currently making some sketches for an electric monoseater based on a classic Mini, this was very inspiring and helpful, thanks Henry!
The car is even prettier in the flesh. Superb design and build quality.
Wow, what a great guy. Far better able to present his car up to some other larger British Sports car manufacturers lately. Love BAC and Love Liverpool. Fantastic stuff. Great video Henry.
Brilliant video, brilliant company. Thanks both.
I don't know why the Brits are more obsessed than anyone else about building lightweight cars, but I'm glad they are.
I didn't think it was possible to make it more beautiful than the original version, but I think they have. I don't think there's a more exciting car design (from an ascetic standpoint) out there right now. As a former school boy kart racer, and current owner of a Lotus Elise, this is the type of vehicle that appeals to me in terms of the engineering, dynamics and performance, but as a piece of art, the Mono takes my breath away.
When I saw the original one in the flesh when Sector111 brought one to Mountain View, California, it didn't disappoint. Now I have to work out how to see (and sit in again) the new model.
Fantastic insight. Need more auto journalism like this, relaxed but detailed. I think anyone that knows what BAC is would be interested in the engineering behind it.
9:05 Half life 3 confirmed
Praise Lord Gaben
Alyx is out
Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! Now we just need a road and track test? :-D And see Henry's smile speak volumes... Great interview and well done building this amazing machine! Living the dream....
Oh hell yes, I love these things. Got to check one out in the metal a while back and the craftsmanship and attention to detail is absolutely stunning
Also to add, it's so refreshing to see an interview with someone who really knows and cares about the dynamics behind a car. Seems like a lot of manufacturers throw out marketing or pr people, rather than the real expertd
@@helplmchoking Agreed. This made for an engaging conversation and you could see Henry enjoyed it as well.
@@helplmchoking I tend to think the Carfection subscribers really benefit from Henry's technical understanding of these conversations and being able to relate to Ian Briggs so well. As Design Director he obviously has his fingers in just about everything but he's also very capable of clearly communicating with Henry. This is one of the one or two best videos of this type I've yet watched. I have a great spot in my garage for one of these but unfortunately not for the bruising to my bank account!!
@@MrGaryGG48 absolutely, big ups to BAC for getting someone genuinely technical and nerdy out there, and to Henry for being willing to get geeky, dive in deep and give us a proper look at a car. Showing the motoring world how journalism is done once again!
This guy (not Henry) is very engaging and passionate about his work. How wonderful! A pleasure to witness.
Fascinating and a brilliantly smart evolution.
Stunning designer and the quality screams out. Congratulations
The video could have been 3x longer. Mr. Briggs was a joy to listen to!!
Didn't know about the tire regulations, damn law makers are bound and determined to strip the fun out of driving
I love it when the brand rep is super engaging and knowledgable! So much interesting information about the car's development packed into this 20min video!
Honestly, it’s as expensively manufactured as possible...and I love it
if you actually watched it, it is not.
Woah look at all those ITB's!
Briggs is literally the 1st scouser I could listen to for longer than 3 seconds before having to switch off! I reached the end with no problem!
When he lifted that wheel with one hand, i was like 'WOWSER!'
If only I could drive it like it was meant to be......just a brilliant car.
Amazing video guys. I think I’m not alone in saying we would love to see more content like this on many other new and old cars. Whether other guests could pull it off with such knowledge and passion as Mr Briggs is another question. Well done to all involved!
I have always loved BAC and this new Mono is no exception. Such an incredible car.
When it comes to these kind of cars, the Mono is the most beautiful of them all. What a flowing, curvy, organic design. Beautiful!
Love this car!!!!!! Great video!!!!!
Not a criticism, but would a loved to have seen inside the engine bay at the engineering, as always brilliant from Henry and carfection, thanks guy's as always.
When viewing the first photos of the new Mono, I was a little disappointed but now seeing them side by side, it’s as stunning as ever. One day, one day...
What a wonderful machine it is
Deeply impressive car. Their passion for excellence is there for all to see. Superb overview. Thanks.
Some of new manufacturing techniques are going to change the whole car world. Like you see in the new czinger 21C
the bac designer, what a bloke!!
Now thats a proper GoCart for the big boys.
Just the most fantastic video guys, thank you!
The end is not far away for this!
I loved the details given
That was bloody brilliant
It's a rich boys toy, a fun day at the track, drive there and drive it home. It is totally impractical, no wind or weather protection, it's just a fun car. It's in the same sort of class as boys on bikes.
I`m now having a cup of tea developed with our partners Tetley
Gordon Murray levels of engineering.
Really excited to see the driving footage/ engagement with the vehicle.
An honest man ,no marketing bullshit ..just to the point
I really enjoyed that. How refreshing to talk to someone about their product who isn’t spouting corporate bs.
Ultimate one person drive machine!
I think a motorcycle is much better because you can overtake at any time without much looking for traffic.
I thought the old Mono was cool, but compared to the new one it looks like a prototype. Can't wait to see what BAC has in store for the future of the Mono
In a weird way this reminds me what Porsche did with the 911....keep on optimising a design and achieve perfection
ooooh id love to drive that ive had a picture of the original on my wall for years ♥️
Fusion 360 is amazing. If you have any interest in 3D modeling, but felt it was unintuitive, try Fusion 360. Things just work like you expect them to in Fusion 360, for me, your mileage may vary.
Those calipers got my attention.
I have always dreaded going grey. Not so concerned looking at how well this guy pulls it off.
I adore your video reviews
They should make 2 seats version, where passenger seat is behind the driver and call it BAC Duo.
It is 20/03/2020 today. Cannot wait for 20/20/20
This car is my dream car. One day I'll own one and make it my blue bird day driver!
I'm pretty sure I would enjoy watching Henry review anything from a tea mug to a prius
this is a great video. thanks.
This is a fascinating discussion.
Slick. I would love to see a powerhybrid version. Would sound like a Le Mans hybrids.
Didn't know mono are based in Liverpool, Great for the city.
