BAC cemented its status as a unique British brand in the top tier of the luxury market with appearances at the most exclusive motoring events in the world - the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance and The Quail in  - US.

Both events were part of the Monterey Car Week, which ran from August 10 to 16 in California, US.

As a sponsor of the three-day Quail Rally, The Quail, a Motorsports Gathering, and the Pebble Beach concours, BAC proudly sat with some of the most recognised luxury brands in the world.

Having introduced the 2016 Model Year Mono at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in the UK last month – where it unofficially broke the course record – BAC showcased the Mono on the Concept Lawn at the Pebble Beach concours.

BAC’s appearances at the Montrey Car Week was an indication of the worldwide growth the company has seen in the last couple of years, rising from British track car manufacturer to global luxury player. 

At its new factory in Liverpool in the UK, BAC builds one car per month, with strong demand from customers in the US, Europe, South America and Asia.

Andrew Whitney, Director of Strategy and Corporate Development, said: "The Mono is much more than a track car – it’s a scrupulously engineered luxury product that uses the best materials and the best minds to create something that truly stands in a league all of its own ... We want driving enthusiasts around the world to experience the unique thrill of the Mono, and these events are quite simply the best places we can do that."

Andrew also welcomed Andy Palmer to the BAC stand at Pebble Beach.

"We were delighted to have Andy Palmer, CEO of Aston Martin, visit us at The Quail. Aston Martin is a great British company and he was hugely supportive of our product and plans,” he said.

The BAC 2016  Mono features an all-new 2.5-litre Mountune four-cylinder engine producing 305 bhp – that’s up 25 bhp on the previous 2.3-litre Cosworth engine. 

The revised car weighs in at just 580 kg giving an incredible 526 bhp per tonne. The new Mono also includes a drive-by-wire throttle as well as a bespoke driver fitment culminating in a custom steering wheel and seat tailor-made for the owner. 

Held each August at Pebble Beach Golf Links, the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance is an annual gathering of rare and antique automobiles, international automotive luminaries and motorcar enthusiasts from around the globe. An Isotta Fraschini Tipo 8A Cabriolet that once turned heads and garnered top prizes in the classic era glided to victory at this year’s edition, which drew 219 cars from 16 countries and 29 states. It also raised over $1.8 million to help people in need.
