NEWS: The next-generation BAC Mono will use a specially tuned 2.3-litre Ford Ecoboost engine, allowing it to be sold in the US and other key markets.
The Mono F is expected to use the same motorsport-derived six-speed Hewland sequential gearbox as the current Mono, and much of the same enriched suspension and running gear as the limited-series Mono R . It will also adopt the same graphene-enriched bodywork as the Mono R to reap similar weight-saving gains.
The Mono F will also blood a new BAC lightweight chassis frame made out of a Niobium-steel alloy. The company has yet to give details on exactly how much lighter and stiffer the alloy has made its chassis, but overall the Mono F is expected to weight 570kg dry: only 20kg heavier than the Mono R allowing for its more complicated turbocharged engine, and not allowing for the influence of the carbon-ceramic brakes of the special series model.
Prices on the Mono have risen significantly since the car was originally launched more than a decade ago at less than £80,000. Most examples of the limited-series Mono R sold for well above £200,000, according to company sources, while secondhand values on regular Monos have appreciated in line with customer demand. Prices on the 2023 Mono F have yet to be announced, but sources suggest they’re likely to sit between £150,000 and £175,000.
