BAC to the future
IN THE ROAD-GOING WORLD, THERE ISN’T A MORE FOCUSED driver’s car than the BAC Mono. It looks like a single-seat racing car wearing lights and number plates and drives like one too, holding many production car lap records. Since its launch a decade ago, just shy of 150 Monos have been shipped to more than 40 countries and it has been carefully, methodically evolved. Today’s Mono R is even more aerodynamic, more powerful and lighter than the original.
It’s a pure driver’s car with minimal frills – ‘a car designed to go from A to A’. So what kind of Mono does BAC plan to build for the upcoming ban on the sale of new petrol-and diesel-engined cars, from 2030 in the UK and recently confirmed in the EU from 2035? Caterham and Morgan are looking at making battery electric vehicle (BEV) sports cars while Ariel is on the verge of launching its ‘Hipercar’, a BEV supercar (see issues 297, 299 and 298 respectively). BAC has a different plan.
