‘good design is at the heart of mono and is paramount in everything we do at BAC. having worked with autodesk for many years, it is a pleasure to create something as beautiful as this art car,’ comments briggs automotive company’s co-founder and design director, ian briggs. ‘not only is it one of the most striking and intricate mono color schemes we have ever created, it also shows the intelligent design of mono and how we use autodesk software to help create the perfect car. mono fans will be able to see the car at the goodwood festival of speed and we can’t wait to show people how good the car looks.’
