Supercar for Superyachts

Purpose-designed, lightweight, corrosion-proofed Marine Edition 'Mono' supercar

Camper & Nicholsons has partnered with BAC to create a purpose-built supercar for life on board the world’s premier superyachts.

The Mono is a lightweight, ultra high-performance supercar, capable of over 270kmh-plus, 0-100km/h in 2.7 seconds, and is the fastest car on road-legal tyres ever to appear on Top Gear’s Power Lap.

The new Marine Edition Mono will be custom designed for life on board the world’s premier superyachts weighs only 580kg and will be powered by a new Mountune 2.5L engine that produces 305hp, delivered through a Hewland FTR gearbox, found on current F3 race cars.

The Mono’s reduced weight will allow for easy hoisting on and off yachts, using on board cranes.

Kurt Fraser, Director of Marketing at Camper & Nicholsons said: "BAC’s Marine Edition Monaco is the ultimate superyacht toy, aimed at owners interested in combining their love of yachting with their passion for purist driving experiences. Lifted easily on shore, owners have the opportunity to connect with each destination they visit, like never before – in complete freedom and sensational driving style."

The Marine Edition Mono will feature anti-corrosive ultra high-specification components for unparalleled performance and durability, proprietary lifting system for safe and easy hoisting, an Environmental Control Container System for on board storage in a climate-controlled environment, and bespoke interior and exterior design custom suited to yacht styling and owner preference.

BAC’s co-founder and Director of Design, Ian Briggs said, "I started my career in the luxury yacht design field and have always wanted to combine my love of marine and automotive design. We had an opportunity here to bring something unique, functionally pure, exciting and even practical on the level of weight optimisation."

The Marine Edition Mono is said to represents the ultimate arrive-and-drive experience with great purity of purpose and style. As for price, well, if you have to ask it ain't for you. Back to the G&T in the berth at Monaco.
