The brainchild of Cheshire-born brothers Neill and Ian Briggs present the Mono, which has performance levels actually at par with Formula cars, the BAC Mono is also the perfect track day tool, racing school car and even a one-make series racer.
The rose-jointed, aero profiled pushrod suspension features adjustable Sachs Racing dampers derived from the heat of competition. The braking is by AP Racing, the bespoke HRT alloy wheels by OZ Racing, the purpose-developed, street-legal track tyres by Kumho.
The rear longitudinally mounted naturally-aspirated 2.3-litre Cosworth engine is mated to an electronically-controlled, paddle-shift, six-speed sequential Hewland transmission with limited-slip differential.
While the 280-horsepower the engine makes still sounds rather tame, when you factor in the car’s ultra light 540kg body weight, you’re left with a power-to-weight ratio of 520bhp per tonne, and that’s more than that of a Bugatti Veyron.
Acceleration from zero to 100km/h takes a miniscule 2.8seconds and 160km/h comes up in 6.7seconds. And with a top speed of about 275km/h, performance is something that the BAC Mono comes packed to the brim with.
The meticulous care and detailing, along with the high end components, that go into hand building each of these cars puts the price of the Mono at 79,950 British pounds (58.5-lakh Rupees).
