The world's first graphene car is unveiled in Manchester July 22 2016 - BBC News The world's first car made with graphene in its bodywork has been unveiled in Manchester. The vehicle, with graphene in its panels, was made by Briggs Automotive Company in Speke, Liverpool. The BAC Mono spearheads an exhibition to highlight the future technology of graphene, which is 200 times stronger than steel. It was developed by scientists at the University of Manchester in 2004 who won the Nobel Prize for it. Graphene is made of sheets of carbon just one atom thick. The BAC Mono has been road-tested and is being displayed at the National Graphene Institute in Manchester as part of the Science in the City festival from July 22-29. James Baker, graphene business director at The University of Manchester, said: "The graphene car is an excellent example of how graphene can be incorporated into existing products to improve performance. "It shows that graphene is having a real world impact just 12 years after it was isolated." The Science in the City festival is Europe's biggest science festival. Online source: bbc.com
