Sector111 LLC, a California based company that specializes in aftermarket performance parts and service for the Lotus Elise and Exige and the Ariel Atom, has been named the exclusive U.S. importer of the Limited edition BAC Mono single-seater race car
The BAC Mono is a brutal single-seater race car designed to bring formula racing levels of handling and performance to the street and is powered by a mid-mounted naturally aspirated 2.3-liter Cosworth engine pushing out 280-horsepower to the rear wheels through a six-speed sequential transmission and a limited-slip differential. The single-seater model weighs in at just 540 kg (1,190 lbs)courtesy of its carbon-fiber body and the minimalistic engineering approach. The Mono’s power to weight ratio stands at 520 hp/tonne
According to the British company, the Mono passes the 0 to 60mph [96km/h] yardstick just 2.8 seconds after takeoff, and the 100 mph (160km/h) mark after 6.7 seconds, while its top speed is 170 mph (274 km/h).
The car’s aerodynamics were optimized in partnership with the Stuttgart University and all of the mechanical components come from established motorsport companies.
The Briggs Automotive Company (BAC) said it will build 50 to 100 cars a year, and only just just 12 units will be offered in U.S.
