Yes, BAC has made a new Mono. Even though it doesn’t look like it has changed much since it was first created, it has grown, changed, and improved over time. This one is brand new and just as good as the last one because only minor changes were made. The new Mono, which weighs only 1,257 pounds and has a 2.5-liter inline-four engine with 320 horsepower and is naturally aspirated, takes a lot of ideas from the extreme Mono R. With 546 horsepower per ton, the Mono continues to meet its primary goal of having a high ratio of power to weight. Even though all of the parts inside the engine are new, it is still a Ford Duratec. Some are new connecting rods and pistons made from forged steel, improved camshafts and valve springs, and new throttle bodies. Six-speed sequential transmissions are still used. The engine is housed in a lightweight tubular frame made of carbon fiber sheets infused with graphene. BAC chose a weight distribution of 41% front and 59% back on purpose so that the car would handle it best. Since the engine is in the middle of the vehicle, the weight is spread evenly throughout the car. It can go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 2.7 seconds because it has a light grip. BAC has made steering better in a few small ways. When you drive fast, the front has 50% more anti-dive, and the back has 50% more anti-squat to control the total pitch movements. The push-rod rockers on the flexible dual wishbone suspension still have needle bearings to keep them from rubbing against each other. Racing dampers that can be adjusted in two ways finish off the suspension system. Finally, BAC and Pirelli created the Trofeo R, one of the most durable tires. ever made, and slicks and tires for wet conditions. Even though the BAC Mono may not look like it has changed much, it has been updated and improved in many ways. Even though it has more power, it is still the lightest and most motorsport-inspired king.
