The BAC Mono is a street legal single-seater developed by BAC (Briggs Automotive Company) founded by brothers Neill and Ian Briggs from Chesire in the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n<p>The BAC Mono (as in monoposto, or single seat) was designed to bring formula race car levels of handling, performance and thrill to the public road, but it&#8217;s also the perfect trackday toy. At 520bhp\/ton, its power to weight ratio surpasses that of the Bugatti Veyron and it can accelerate to 60mph in just 2.8 seconds, 100mph in 6.7 seconds and on to a top speed of 170mph. Only weeks prior to the Monaco Grand Prix we had a chance to see what it is like on the normal streets and the soon to be Monte Carlo circuit. <\/p>\n<p><a

single-seater it looks racy and almost F1 like. Its only for the indicators and the license plate that you can see it is not  a race car but a street legal car. Its aerodynamics were optimised using CFD in partnership with Stuttgart University. The vehicle is constructed in carbon fiber with a tubular steel driver safety cell, complete with FIA-compliant roll over protection system \u2013 similar in concept to a DTM race car.<\/p>\n<p>Power comes from a 280bhp, normally-aspirated 2.3 liter Cosworth unit mounted longitudinally and mated to an electronically-controlled, paddle-shift, six-speed sequential Hewland transmission with limited-slip differential. The rose-jointed, aero profiled pushrod suspension features adjustable Sachs Racing dampers derived from the heat of competition.<\/p>\n<p><a
