2016 BAC Mono Dimensions, Size & Specs

The BAC Mono has an extremely light curb weight of just 580 kg (1,279 lbs). This very low weight contributes significantly to its agility, acceleration, and handling, making it exceptionally responsive. The lightweight construction allows the car to deliver race car-like performance while maintaining road legality.

The BAC Mono has a ground clearance of 100 mm (3.94 inches). This low ride height is ideal for high-speed stability and handling on smooth roads or racetracks but requires careful driving over uneven surfaces, speed bumps, or steep driveways to avoid scraping the undercarriage.

The BAC Mono is equipped with front tires sized 205/40 R17 and rear tires sized 245/40 R17. Corresponding rims are 7.5J x 17 for the front and 8.5J x 17 for the rear. These wide, low-profile tires contribute to exceptional grip and cornering precision essential for its performance-focused design.

The BAC Mono’s dimensions make it relatively easy to park in a standard residential garage, which typically offers a width of approximately 2440 mm (96 inches) and a length around 4877 mm (192 inches). With a width of 1836 mm (72.3 inches) and length of 3952 mm (155.6 inches), the BAC Mono fits comfortably within these parameters, though its low height (1110 mm/43.7 inches) means it easily clears most garage doors. However, due to its low ground clearance, care should be taken when entering or exiting sloped garage floors.

Since the BAC Mono (2016-2020) was the debut generation of this model and brand, there was no predecessor BAC Mono generation. The vehicle was introduced as a purpose-built, ultra-light single-seater roadster from launch. Any early prototypes were very similar in form and dimensions to the production model, focusing on uncompromised performance with minimal weight and compact size.

Compared to similar track-focused ultra-light sports cars like the Ariel Atom or KTM X-Bow, the BAC Mono is slightly longer (3952 mm / 155.6 inches) and wider (1836 mm / 72.3 inches), but notably lower with a height of 1110 mm (43.7 inches). The curb weight of 580 kg (1,279 lbs) makes it competitive with these rivals. Its single-seat configuration and precise dimensions emphasize a balance between aerodynamic efficiency, driver comfort, and aggressive handling.

The BAC Mono has a ride height of just 100 mm (3.94 inches), which is extremely low and ideal for race track performance offering superior aerodynamics and stability. However, this limited ground clearance means it is less suited to everyday roads with potholes, speed bumps, or rough surfaces. Drivers must be cautious on uneven terrain to prevent damage to the underside.

The BAC Mono differentiates itself by being a single-seater, ultra-lightweight roadster designed explicitly for track-level performance rather than practical daily driving. Its compact dimensions, extremely low weight (580 kg/1,279 lbs), and minimalistic approach combine to create a unique driving experience. Unlike typical two-seater roadsters, the Mono's size and setup prioritize speed, agility, and a pure connection between driver and car.

The BAC Mono’s relatively small footprint—3952 mm length, 1836 mm width, and only 1110 mm height—combined with its low ride height of 100 mm, contribute to highly efficient aerodynamics. The low height reduces frontal area, decreasing air resistance and increasing stability at high speeds. Its slender width and sculpted body panels help channel airflow, optimizing downforce without excessive drag, thus enhancing handling precision and acceleration on the track.
