BAC e-Mono Concept With Hydrogen Fuel Cells Is Faster Than The ICE Mono R | Carscoops carscoops
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 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.
The e-Mono is using the chassis of the regular Mono, with a clever fitment of the fuel cell, hydrogen tang, and battery pack. The latter is a structural component of the chassis, placed low under the seat. The fuel cell is placed above the battery, and the compressor is hidden in the air intake pod.
The combined power output from the FCEV powertrain is 371 hp , with 264 hp of those coming from the battery and 107 hp from the fuel cell. At the same time, a set of electric motors mounted on the front wheels are offering all-wheel-drive capability, further improving performance. According to the official data, the BAC e-Mono accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 2.2 seconds and has a top speed of 266 km/h . In digital simulation tests, the e-Mono achieved a lap time of 2.04.
As noted by Neil Briggs, BAC Co-Founder and Director of Product Development, the company is now actively looking for suitable funding in order to bring the e-Mono closer to production, moving on to the proof of concept stage.
