‘sporting the stunning new generation of mono design DNA first seen on the BAC mono R, the newcomer epitomizes how form enhances function with reductions in visual mass across the body, less frontal area and a lower height creating a sleeker, more organic overall appearance,’ explains BAC.

fully road legal, the new mono model weighs only 570 kg (1256 lbs) — 10kg less than its first version, and carries an impressive 332 bhp four-cylinder turbocharged engine. with a completely new approach to body engineering, BAC has shifted its focus on an impressive light-weighting technology. the new mono model is fit with a remarkable set of wheels that are 35% lighter than before. the engineers have also incorporated 3D printed parts and graphene-enhanced carbon fibre throughout the body — much lighter and stronger than regular carbon fibre — for improved mechanical and thermal performance.

‘when it comes to speccing your BAC mono, the opportunities are truly infinite,’ BAC continues. ‘every single mono to leave the liverpool factory is a one-of-one vehicle that’s completely tailored to the requirements of the customer – one of a kind in every sense. our customers are offered a bespoke buying experience like no other, as they can customize everything from performance to unique vehicle aesthetics.’
