Bac Mono is the first car in the world to be made of graphene (a carbon layer material), one of the most exciting and revolutionary materials of this millennium, which has many unexpected physical properties such as great strength (hundred times harder than steel), good electrical conductivity and flexibility. It is also extremely light (noticeably even compared to carbon fiber), environmentally friendly and almost transparent. The British used it in the production of the rear suspension, thus saving 20 percent of the mass of the single-seater beast, and at the expense of its structure and engine, it really has exceptional acceleration.
Bac Mona is extremely powerful a single-seat racing car made of graphene, the material they invented Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov and received for it in 2010 Nobel Prize in Physics.
In addition to the already listed properties of the material, it is worth adding that it can be mixed with other materials, and this is exactly what they did with the brand Briggs Automotive Company, specialized in the production of sporty one-seaters, which prepared the vehicle with another specialist, namely for advanced materials, Haydale Composite Solutions. The use of graphene is known for the economy and performance of the vehicle itself, which has just 305 hp or 227 kW, which is remarkable for such a low mass.

Bac Mona's acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h is tiny 2.8 seconds so no surprise. Also not the terminal speed which is over 260 km/h.
