2023 BAC Mono R
Presentation
This 2023 BAC Mono R is powered by a Mountune Racing-built 2.5L inline-four linked with a Hewland FTR six-speed sequential gearbox and a Powerflow limited-slip differential. The car features carbon-fiber composite bodywork finished in translucent burgundy paint with an asymmetrical gold livery, along with exposed gloss carbon-fiber accents over a TIG-welded seamless tube steel chassis. It rolls on 17″ OZ Racing carbon-hybrid wheels mounted over carbon-ceramic brakes with AP Racing 5000 R calipers, and additional equipment includes a titanium exhaust manifold, adjustable Öhlins dampers, centrally mounted headlights, a Formula 3-style air intake pod, and a rear spoiler and diffuser. Inside, the single-seat is trimmed in black leather and microsuede complemented by a multifunction steering wheel, an electrical cutoff switch, and a Sabelt racing harness. It was offered by the selling dealer on BaT in April 2025 before being acquired by its current owner later that same year. This Mono R shows 1,700 miles and is offered again by the consigning dealer—a BaT Local Partner—with a Bell/BAC Design helmet, factory extras, a clean Carfax report, and a California title listing the car as a 0000 SPCNS.

The Mono R was introduced at the 2019 Goodwood Festival of Speed and features graphene-enhanced carbon-fiber body panels, a Formula 3-style air intake pod, and a pair of headlights mounted under a plexiglass cover in the nose. The car is 20mm lower and 25mm longer than the standard Mono and has a curb weight of 1,224 pounds, a savings of over 50 pounds compared to the standard model.
The bodywork on this example is finished in translucent burgundy paint with an asymmetrical gold livery, and it is wrapped around a TIG-welded seamless tube steel chassis with a carbon-fiber crash box. Gloss carbon fiber is visible on the fenders, lower nose panels, air intake pod, and tail. Equipment includes front and rear towing eyes, LED running lamps, dual side-view mirrors with red-painted caps, and a rear spoiler and diffuser.
The 17″ OZ Racing carbon-hybrid wheels are finished in gold with exposed carbon-fiber barrels, and they are wrapped in 205/45 front and 255/40 rear Pirelli P Zero Trofeo R tires. The pushrod suspension utilizes billet aluminum uprights, Eibach springs, adjustable Öhlins dampers, and front and rear anti-roll bars. Stopping power is provided by four-piston AP Racing 5000 R calipers over cross-drilled carbon-ceramic discs at all four corners.
The single-seat cockpit is trimmed in black microsuede and leather upholstery with yellow contrast stitching. Equipment includes an electrical cutoff switch, a brake bias adjuster, and a Sabelt safety harness.
The 290mm Mono R-branded carbon-fiber steering wheel features an LCD screen and hand controls, and it is mounted on a quick-release hub. The digital odometer shows 1,700 miles.

"what is the helmet size? It seems make another could be a small chore."
If I am dropping a quarter mil, I don't mind bringing my own helmet.
@Wob GLWA here shortly, I know you are doing three at once. Must be hard to keep track of it all.

Lets walk around this stunning translucent red carbon R!

@ChadGee same reason every Mono has had the tank replaced due to a design flaw, but this tank was not replaced twice. It was replaced in 2/25 not due to failure but rather to pre-emptive replacement for peace of mind. The design flaw is catastrophic failure, just a crack that can cause fuel smell from overly aggressive entries and exits to the car. This has the new tank and now you can jump up and down on the seat like a trampoline if you want. If you win that is...
@t44tq cargo space???
@t44tq cargo space???
Aug 11, 2026 · 16:25
@ChadGee Where did you get this information? I have been the owner of this car for the past year, and that statement is 100 % NOT TRUE!
Aug 11, 2026 · 16:02
This looks incredibly fun. @wob any insight to why the fuel tank has been replaced not once, but twice with just 1,700 miles on the odo?
Aug 11, 2026 · 15:54
A car like this is wildly impractical for road use, so I can see why people might buy one, then realize there's zero cargo space, it's open to the elements, and you basically need a helmet to drive one on the road. For a track day tool, it's pretty much perfect, though.
Aug 11, 2026 · 15:39
@wob I like these cars too, but what I was asking is why the same Monos keep coming up for sale. Seems that they buy and sell them a year later. Is the Mono too extreme and owners get scared to keep them? Just wondering why the turnover as these cars seem like the ultimate in fun and performance.
Aug 11, 2026 · 15:25
After a few years of convincing, I have come to love the Mono, especially this one with the side pod and immaculate paint job. GLWTA

It's nice when a car makes things simple for you. For instance, I know in my 350z that if I see a 35 mph turn sign, I can add 50-60% and enjoy myself on the curve. In a BAC Mono R, you don't have to do all of that math and you can just add a "1" before of the number on the sign. It's easier than tipping at your favorite restaurant!
Aug 11, 2026 · 13:56
Thank you so much for confirming that even if I did have a spare quarter mill lying around, that I could barely get in the machine, let alone get out. Great POV driving video. GLWTA!
Aug 11, 2026 · 13:18
UPS livery? I think these are really neat play cars, and so small that it would be easy to trailer to track! I will end up buying one from you someday, but give me a couple years to get tired of my current toys.

The STUNNING red carbon and gold R is back!! I will reiterate my thoughts!
Red translucent carbon fiber with gold accents? Sweet baby Moses! I love looking at it so much I parked it right beside my desk so I can stare at it all day!
Not to be confused with the pedestrian Non-R, this is the car for those who felt a Formula Atlantic Car with a license plate was the only way to experience life. This is IT – the purest most unbelievable car in which you can buy for street use to day. Truly a high tech open-wheel race car in form and experience, there is literally NOTHING in which to compare it.
Purity is paramount in the experience and so is clarity. I can not say I can recall driving anything on the street in which provides more in the moment exhilaration. There are no super cars, no modded Texas Mile cars – nothing.
With only 30 cars made, this car, #18 features the gorgeous red and gold color scheme and is outrageous to behold. Burgundy carbon in some light, black carbon in others, it reminds me of the very famous Iron Man livery and the gorgeous Burgundy on Gold Regera. And with the matching helmet to boot, its truly a work of art.
Ready for the window sticker? Try $455k. Wow you say? I challenge every member here to find an experience that matches both the build, the drive experience and of course the overwhelming excitement of finding truly peak driving enjoyment. A piece of art that happens to go like h3ll!!!
Best of luck to the bidders, this is one VERY special R!
@300-SL happy to help facilitate!

Dumb question here, but these are street legal correct? Like those 3 wheeled, cannot think of the name, two seaters?
I bet this is crazy fast for the weight and size. And fun.
Awesome specs.
