Only 30 examples of the BAC Mono R will ever be built, and despite the fact you"ve only known about the BAC Mono R for the last seven seconds, you can"t have one. All 30 are sold out. Unlucky. People who bought the last Mono had a bit of a head-start on you, y"see. And when you see the spec of the latest one-seat rocket from Briggs Automotive Company, well, it"s not surprising that all were snapped up faster than warm confectionary. First, power. The 2.5-litre Ford engine has been boosted by a healthy 35bhp, so it now produces 340bhp. Now, 340bhp is enough to make a very serious hot hatch, but in a car than now weighs a little over a half a tonne, is truly biblical power. Oh, and the redline"s up from zingy 7,800rpm to a screaming 8,800rpm. Currently, 136bhp per litre is a world record for a road-legal car, says BAC.
