BAC Mono: all the photos and official data

After the anticipation of a few days ago, we return to take care of the BAC Mono, "tool" that promises to transfer to a weblog model the dynamic qualities of a single-seater formula. The ambitious project comes from the desire of two brothers (British, of course ...), Ian and Neil Briggs, who also named their company (BAC stands for Briggs Automotive Company, ed.) The Mono, so named for its single-seat cockpit, is driven by an energetic 2.3 aspirated Cosworth capable of delivering 285 hp.

Mounted longitudinally, the engine is mated to a Hewland sequential six-speed transmission made by and marked by very sporty characteristics. Indispensable icing on the cake, the limited slip differential. The suspension, following a push-rod cover and fully adjustable shock absorbers are made by Sachs Racing, the brakes are supplied by AP Racing, OZ wheels are signed and Kumho tires.

Impressive performance of lethal weapon: 0 to 60 miles (96 km / h) BAC Mono snaps in just 2.8 seconds. From zero to 160 per hour, the time is 6.7 seconds. BAC Mono The numbers cited are made possible by the ridiculous weight of Mono, which stops the balance of the value of only 520 kg. The power to weight ratio, it stands on the incredible value of 530 bhp / tonne.

Seat belts are Willans six-point. The trunk? A hole just got to do where a helmet and detachable steering wheel. Goduria. "The Mono is the achievement of a 12-year dream for us: the car that we always wanted to drive, but no one has ever produced," said Neil Briggs proudly. BAC expects to produce 50 to 100 Mono year.

In Britain, the model will be offered to 79,950 pounds, the equivalent of 92,000 €.
