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.
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.
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!
06:43 _"I don't want to get too nerdy with you"_ Always precedes the most interesting part of the video. Personally I find all that fascinating. The generative design process is really impressive and the final iteration reminds me of the sort of flower you'd see on a lily pad. I also love how Pirelli managed a work-around for rolling resistance, combined with Ian and the team's work relocating the main beams it just goes to show how important understanding the rule book is. Really enjoy these in-depth videos, and look forward to the upcoming review. P.S I do hope the new Mono makes it to Forza.
@@LorenzoClara97 just because he's into automotive engineering doesn't mean he HAS to stop playing forza. Forza is an amazing game, it's fun, aerodynamic DO effect cars, there is chassis flex if you know how to make t happen, and honestly depending on the game its either free roam and do whatever the hell you want, or race oriented where you HAVE to keep cars stock or in the same class. And it's a great gateway into racing games. Don't criticise based off of games, I love automotive engineering, I play forza, I don't like asseto or gran turismo, I can handle project cars, but the game doesn't effect my love and want to learn about automotive engineering, it's personal preference. And I respect that you don't like forza but you can't just go and tell someone to stop playing games, it's like telling a plane enthusiast to stop playing Ace Combat and play Microsoft Flight Simulator or Xplane. It's not cool at all. If they like Ace Combat and love planes, let them be. If they like forza and like cars, let them be. Be more accepting. That's what this world needs right now. Kindness, respect, accepting people.
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.
@@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.
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
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.
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...
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 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.
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.
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.
This is an incredible video. I'm studying to be a software engineer and what the BAC Mono guy said on understanding your system design priorities (i.e. low profile, keep things in-line with the driver, optimising towards that goal), really spoke to me. It feels super applicable as a mindset I can take to designing systems in my field. Great work!
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 original was gorgeous, the new one is on a whole other level. I never wanted a car so much in my life. I always wanted a single seater, but up until now now have wowed me.
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.
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 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 !
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
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.
Truly. "This piece here costs a fortune, but damn if it doesn't make you go really fast!". -Someone who knows the true value of their work and isn't afraid of showing it. High class
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....
I feel like BAC would make a really good single seater, sporty GT car. One with a roof, less hardcore, but gives you just as much theater when driving. The mono is good, but it's obvious that it belongs on the track, more so than on the road. Maybe even a lite version of the mono.
@kashimacoated like I said; a lite version of the mono. More road friendly. Only need room for 1 overnight bag, AC, and minimal sound dampening. People will buy it nonetheless, because if they keep it a single seater, there's literally nothing like it on the road. Of course you'll lose performance, but a GT car isn't all about performance. It's about enjoying the drive, and these guys seem to nail that aspect on the mono.
Orange Potato Your Logic is flawed. “A light version of the mono for the road” - Hello making it lighter would be directing it toward the track more than it already is.
Fabulous video and insight. No question for me that Henry's content is head and shoulders above anyone else's on TH-cam. Absolutely LOVE the Mono too. Think I may soon have to auction some body parts!
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.
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.
@@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.
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.
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!
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!
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.
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
My old town of Liverpool.....now living in Scottsdale, AZ for 38 years. Driving a racing yellow 991 here in Scottsdale, but I wish I could import all the people from Liverpool... excellent video and very detailed on how this car was custom made .
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!
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 fantastic film, well done. Fascinating car, fascinating discussion, I was completely absorbed. The depth of discussion was perfect, and Brigg's explanation of the engineering challenges and opportunities was so interesting. Refreshing to hear the way he talked about partner companies, big and small, giving credit to people in specialist companies as part of the overall team. When do you drive it Henry?
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.
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.
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.
Cracking content for the true car enthusiast Henry! Way more interesting than the silly roof-less cars recently shown by the usual Supercar brands. Cheers.
But its the same problem. They are using a Ford lump with a bunch of bolts sound. Beautiful car but aimed at the wrong path. F3 has to use a block from their own car. These guys have any engine configuration and they go for the worst sound. They could use the Ford Ecotec V6 or the Coyote V8 if they are blue oval boys.
@@fraserwright9482 huh? Isnt this vehicle primarily about performance and aerodynamics (as the gentleman pointed out numerous times)? Of course there are better sounding engines, but this car you're going to be wearing a full helmet anyways and so an inline, longitudinal, compact engine is congruent with the overall ethos. And given they have the relationship with Mountune, it's a nobrainer what engine they went with.
Fraser Wright You lost all credibility when you mentioned putting a Coyote V8 in a Mono, this isn’t “monsters garage” the car is small and meant to to be balanced in regards to power to weight ratio, if you put the V8 in it not only would you need to create a whole new chassis so it would fit but you’d also add a lot of weight and kill the balance of the entire vehicle.
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?

Of course there are better sounding engines, but this car you're going to be wearing a full helmet anyways and so an inline, longitudinal, compact engine is congruent with the overall ethos. And given they have the relationship with Mountune, it's a nobrainer what engine they went with.
Fraser Wright You lost all credibility when you mentioned putting a Coyote V8 in a Mono, this isn’t “monsters garage” the car is small and meant to to be balanced in regards to power to weight ratio, if you put the V8 in it not only would you need to create a whole new chassis so it would fit but you’d also add a lot of weight and kill the balance of the entire vehicle.
Carfection> anything else
So fascinating. Very cool. I'm more a manual man myself but can definitely appreciate the pus for cutting weight out everywhere and simplify
That thing looks sick!
If only I could drive it like it was meant to be......just a brilliant car.
I really enjoyed that. How refreshing to talk to someone about their product who isn’t spouting corporate bs.
Now thats a proper GoCart for the big boys.
Keep at it
