BAC will pull the wraps off a new version of its scintillating Mono single-seater later this month -
, and could incorporate BAC’s latest generation carbonfibre manufacturing techniques. The firm’s latest models use graphene elements within their carbon body panels to reduce weight, with the R tipping the scales at 555kg without fluids.
If this new model is indeed more road-biased, it may swap the R’s Hewland FTR sequential gearbox in favour of something more user friendly – the current Formula 3-derived unit requires use of the clutch at low speed, with flat shift capability on the move. A new tyre could be part of the Mono’s latest developments, too. The R is equipped with Pirelli Trofeo Rs as standard, and while they’re very grippy in the dry, they haven’t been optimised for a car as light as the Mono . We’ll find out exactly what form the new Mono will take on August 17, and given the engineering brilliance that the BAC has established thus far, we’re deeply excited for what’s next.
