Unlike most supercars with two seats and creature comforts, this ultra rare 2023 BAC Mono R is a single-seater, putting the driver at the literal center of the action, much like an F1 car. The cockpit is minimalist, with a single seat trimmed in black leather and microsuede, a multifunction steering wheel on a quick-release hub, and a Sabelt safety harness—designed for pure driving focus.
The Mono R tips the scales at just 1,224 pounds (555 kg dry), lighter than even the featherweight McLaren P1 (1,395 kg). It’s the first production car to use graphene-enhanced carbon-fiber body panels, which are stronger and lighter than standard carbon fiber, shaving over 50 pounds compared to the standard BAC Mono. Most supercars, even lightweight ones like the Lotus Evora (around 3,000 pounds), can’t match this extreme diet, which translates to razor-sharp handling and acceleration (0-60 mph in about 2.5 seconds).

The Mono R’s 2.5-liter naturally aspirated inline-four, built by Mountune Racing based on a Ford Duratec, pumps out 343 horsepower—modest by supercar standards but massive for its weight. With a billet crankshaft, dry-sump lubrication, and a ram-air intake system, it revs to 8,800 rpm, delivering a screaming, F1-like soundtrack. Power flows through a Hewland FTR six-speed sequential gearbox (straight from Formula 3) and a Powerflow limited-slip differential, offering lightning-fast shifts and precise control.
Only 40 Mono Rs were built, making it rarer than most supercars (e.g., Bugatti Chiron’s 500-unit run). The example in the listing, with its translucent burgundy paint and asymmetrical gold livery, showcases BAC’s bespoke customization, letting owners spec unique liveries or features. It comes with a color-coordinated Bell/BAC Design helmet, adding to the personalized, race-driver experience. Interested? You can bid on it here.
