Unless TopGear.com has comically misunderstood the missive released by Briggs Automotive Company (BAC), one of our very favourite niche supercars is getting a hydrogen powertrain.

That, or BAC is working on an excellent device to make your voice squeaky. On balance, it’s probably the former.

Yes folks, news has reached us today that BAC is joining up with Viritech to develop a new hydrogen powertrain for the Mono. Well, it’s a ‘feasibility study’ to assess hydrogen for ‘niche vehicle applications’, and you don’t get more niche than a single-seat supercar with no roof or windscreen.

We’re promised the incoming Mono ‘FCEV’ will still be mind-bendingly excellent to drive, with BAC’s “principles of uncompromising performance and driver experience”. Alongside experimenting with lightweight materials like Graphene and Niobium, BAC says the hydrogen FCEV will “preserve the delicate balance that weight plays in a vehicle’s driving dynamics”.

BAC founder and product development director Neill Briggs said: “Alternative fuels, along with lightweight construction methods, reduces vehicle emissions considerably without compromising driver engagement, something we are committed to preserving at BAC.”

Before we get to the hydrogen version, here’s TopGear.com’s verdict on the 2.5-litre Mono. Considering the supercar's power-to-weight ratio and near-perfect status, one could argue BAC has already built a squeaky voice device.
