The BAC Mono, a vehicle designed by Briggs Automotive Company which, as you can see, although for now it is just a 3D design, has been developed following the standards set by the KTM X-Bow and the Ariel Atom.

According to the company, they plan to build 35 units that will reach the market at a price of 78,000 euros. At this point it is worth noting that 10 of the 35 planned units have already been sold.

Leaving aside sales and the like, let us move on to what really matters: we are looking at a car weighing 550 kilos, capable of reaching a top speed of 275 km/h or accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.8 seconds. These figures, combined with a truly spectacular configuration, make this model a true race-ready single-seater that can be registered for the road.

Specifically, according to the manufacturer, this car is essentially a FIA-approved safety cell bodied in plastic and carbon fibre, powered by a 2.3-litre four-cylinder engine sourced from Cosworth capable of producing 280 hp, coupled to a six-speed Hewland gearbox with F3 homologation.

As you can see, it is a very daring configuration that will surely make this vehicle a missile on track, especially when the company tells us about certain details such as its fully adjustable push-rod suspension, a braking system made up of 295 mm ventilated discs, among other things, or tyres developed exclusively for the model and signed by Kumbo Tyres.
