A few months after BAC announced the FCEV variant of the Mono in collaboration with Viritech, we have the first official specifications of the single-seater that retains its lightweight nature and mind-blistering performance credentials in zero-emission guise.

The BAC e-Mono is not a production vehicle but a concept feasibility study exploring the transition of the track-focused sportscar to the electric era. A battery-electric (BEV) Mono would be 50 percent heavier because of the batteries, thus the FCEV solution was chosen in order to retain the driver-focused characteristics of the single-seater.
