The BAC Mono’s been around for a while now, yet Jay Leno had not had the chance to try one out. Now he has and reports it’s an incredible driving experience.
With only a 2.3-liter four-cylinder for motivation, the Mono hits sixty in under three seconds, and that’s obviously possible thanks to its super low weight.
We struggle to think of many road-legal cars that promises to offer a more race car-like thrill on the road – the Mono is also unique in having the one central seat, this being an integral part of the experience.
It does seem a bit loud, jerky (it has straight-cut gears) and uncomfortable, but if you find a smooth road with no potholes, you can enjoy it on the street too – you’ll see and hear how it takes going over the exposed cable in the yard of Jay’s garage, when he brings it back towards the end of the video; it really shudders.
