BAC Teases New Single-Seat Supercar For August 17 Debut

BAC (Briggs Automotive Company) has a new single-seat supercar that it will reveal on August 17 during Monterey Car Week. The big unveiling will happen at the House of BAC, a stone’s throw away from The Quail. This is the first time the company is attending the Pebble Beach event in an official capacity, and it’s bringing something new to introduce.

BAC doesn’t offer many details about its new model that’ll sit alongside the Mono R in its portfolio. However, the company says in its press release that it engineered the new car “to deliver a contrasting “behind-the-wheel” experience” compared to its “Mono R sibling.” It’ll “add a new dimension to the company’s current product offering,” too.

Building upon the success of the sold-out Cunningham C-8, the Supercharged Briggs Edition offers even greater speed and power, along with enhanced and updated aerodynamics to fully utilize its increased power. It represents the highest level of performance for the LT2 Corvette.

Antonio Pierce, CEO of Cunningham Automotive, stated that “a new fully flat front aerodynamic undertray significantly improves high-speed stability and the front splitter, which provides three times more stability at high speeds. In addition, the optional deployable Active Wing (Patent Pending) further enhances stability.”

Additional visual features include a patent-pending HTC supercharger viewing window, an optional Whaletail Spoiler with an integrated Active Rear Wing, Cunningham HRE forged aluminum and carbon fiber wheels, and optional Cunningham Competition Race Colors. It’s a fusion of Corvette dominance and Cunningham style.”
