This is a unique racing car that attracts attention because it is designed for only one person to sit inside to control the car.
The BAC Mono is powered by a 2.3-litre Ford Duratec 4-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol engine, upgraded by Cosworth to produce 280bhp. Weighing just 540kg, the car can accelerate from 0–100km/h in 2.8 seconds and has a top speed of 274km/h.
The BAC Mono features a sturdy carbon fiber construction, a steel frame for driver safety, an FIA-certified clutch protection system, and adjustable suspension. The suspension incorporates dampers that can be changed to suit driving needs on the street or track.
Although it is a race car, the BAC Mono is street legal, but riders must wear a helmet and adhere to strict driving license regulations, which vary by country. Not all countries license the vehicle, and in many places, owning and operating the BAC Mono requires a special license.
In Vietnam, the BAC Mono has appeared in Hai Phong, when a businessman owned this unique car. This has made many people wonder about the vehicle's ability to circulate in Vietnam, because the regulations on street racing cars may encounter legal barriers.
The appearance of BAC Mono in Hai Phong is not only a remarkable event for racing enthusiasts, but also opens up an interesting debate about traffic regulations and laws for racing cars in Vietnam.
