BAC has tweaked the single-seater Mono supercar for 2023
How can you improve on the ‘singular’ Mono? Bit more power, bit more ‘suspension’
The Briggs Automotive Company – commonly known as BAC – has revealed the latest iteration of its Mono supercar, and the headline is… it’ll still probably be quite brilliant.
Because at first glance, BAC hasn’t messed with the core proposition, that being a single-seater, lightweight supercar that offers quite literally ‘singular’ driving thrills. BAC tells us the new Mono will form “the nucleus of the brand’s core product offering”. Which we think means – this is the ‘standard’ car.
As such, the 2.5-litre naturally-aspirated Ford engine is carried over from the old BAC Mono, here treated to forged connecting rods and pistons, better performance-focused cams and uprated valve springs, a better induction setup and – of great importance – individual throttle bodies. There’s a new carbon airbox too, so noise shouldn’t be an issue.
As such, power rises by a whopping 6bhp to 311bhp, with torque sitting at 231lb ft. Doesn’t sound like much, until you remember the BAC Mono weighs as much as a fancy sports shoe. Or in technical terms, 570kg, which is 10kg lighter than the outgoing car. Powering the rear wheels via a six-speed sequential gearbox, the new Mono records 0-62mph in 2.7 seconds, which is a tenth up on the previous version.
