In addition to the rarest and most luxurious sports car, there is a group of car makers like Caterham and BAC that are taking things the other way and are also focused on weight. Since its founding in 2009 by brothers Neil and Ian Briggs, the high-performance, driver-focused single-seater marks another milestone in the history of the brand. The first Mono hit the market in his 2011.
Towards the end of the year, BAC gifted its 150th Mono unit to a Belgian customer. Julien Begasse of Dhaem, a business executive from Belgium! And this particular unit is his 29th Mono R ever created.

BAC #150 is, as always, a tailored design created to meet the unique requirements of our customers. BAC's design team worked with Julien to create a unique color combination. It provides an excellent level of detail, especially for cars. They adapted this coloring to the client's needs from his science fiction films.
For this reason, they painted the upper part of the BAC Mono R in a shade called Satin Liquid Silver Metallic, combined with carbon fiber along the entire lower part, complementing the other components painted in Highlighter Yellow. Additionally, there is a pair of lightweight carbon hybrid wheels with a bronze finish created in collaboration with Dymag.
The interior features plenty of carbon fiber, silver stitching on the headrests and seats, and a special steering wheel with the R emblem. Additionally, Julien Begasse de Dhaem decided to outline the car's technical specifications on the side of the airbox. Then write the number on the rear wing of the vehicle with a highlighter pen.
In addition to the ultra-lightweight carbon hybrid wheels created by Dymag-BAC, the 29th Mono R has the number R29 elaborately integrated into the main beam light surround mounted centrally in the nose and rear arch. ” is also a feature. I tried to apply the yellow highlight as accurately as possible. According to the company, one of his members of the design staff spent his three days manually painting the car.

BAC Mono R is a very lightweight machine
BACs
One of the most innovative and lightest cars in the automotive industry is the BAC Mono. The atmospheric 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine has a minimum of 305 horsepower! The machine with blocks weighs only 580kg! However, the one in this story is more extreme.
The Mono R is, after all, the 150th vehicle to leave Liverpool's BAC facility. The body underwent surgery and now he weighs 555 kg (1,224 lbs), but the engine he has upgraded to 342 hp. This BAC Mono R's 2.5-liter 4-cylinder intake engine combined with his Formula 3-inspired 6-speed sequential transmission makes him 342 horsepower.
Mechanically, nothing has changed. Considering the Mono R only weighs 555 kg dry, the horsepower doesn't seem anything special at first. With its featherweight weight and incredible chassis agility, the power output should be great. The steering is therefore not only very beautiful, but also quite characteristic.
