CONTINUOUS INNOVATION
The overall brief as a BAC engineer is to make Mono drive as well as it looks – a show-stopping image has to be backed up with phenomenal performance. Everything is shaped around the car being fully focused on driving and providing the very best experience for the person behind the wheel.
It all starts from the unique single-seater set-up: drivers of Mono are sat as low as possible, at the perfect angle and in the middle of the car – the centre point of all four wheels – to optimise balance. Only in Formula racing do you see such a zero-compromise approach, creating unparalleled synergy between man and machine.
This total focus on driving purity continues by bringing all elements as low and close to the centre line of the car as possible, making for a near-perfect weight distribution and an exemplary centre of gravity.
A wishbone suspension set-up on all four corners creates ideal kinematics, with geometry being optimised to reduce pitch under braking. Enhanced anti-dive at the front and anti-squat at the rear combine to maximise traction.
Leaving no stone unturned in the enhancement of vehicle dynamics helps overall to produce faster lap times – the ultimate measure of performance. With reduced braking distances and weight transfer, sharper turn-in, better rotation at the apex and better traction out of corners, Mono is the most formidable force on the track.
“As BAC engineers, it’s our job to make sure the performance of Mono matches its impeccable design – and we leave no stone unturned when it comes to delivering the purest driving experience.
We consider lap times the ultimate performance indicator and are immensely proud to boast so many lap records around the globe”
Super lightweight components and astonishing power levels from the bespoke engine complete the formula for success, but Mono’s DNA is all about not only being a world-beater on the track, but totally usable on the road.
All of Mono’s incredible performance records around the world have been achieved with the car on road-legal tyres. It’s the only car made with a clear focus of providing pure driving thrills on the road that can be taken all the way to the circuit, before demolishing every record in sight and being driven back home at the end of the day.
