ULTIMATE LIGHTWEIGHTING AND POWER
The Mono CUP achieves extraordinary performance gains through an obsessive focus on lightweighting:
Radical Weight Reduction: Weighing in at an astonishing 540kg (dry), the Mono CUP is a remarkable 40kg lighter than the MY25 Mono. This reduction is achieved through the strategic removal of elements necessary only for road registration, and the incorporation of an FIA-conforming bag fuel tank which further reduces mass and enhances safety.
Revolutionary Carbon Fibre Wheels: A cornerstone of the Mono CUP’s lightweighting is its new super-lightweight all-carbon fibre disc wheels with centre-fix hubs. Weighing just 3.9kg (front) and 4.1kg (rear), this significantly reduced rotating mass dramatically improves both acceleration and braking, while the lighter unsprung weight further enhances handling and grip.
“The Mono CUP car represents BAC’s unwavering commitment to the ultimate track driving experience. We’ve meticulously engineered every component – from the 40kg weight reduction to the carbon ceramic brakes and four-way adjustable Öhlins dampers with their new rates – to deliver uncompromised performance and a raw, visceral connection to the circuit.”
Elevated Power: The naturally-aspirated 2.5-litre, four-cylinder engine is re-tuned to produce an exhilarating 335bhp and 330Nm of torque.
Unrivalled Power-to-Weight: The combination of extreme lightweighting and increased power results in a staggering 620bhp-per-tonne power-to-weight ratio. This translates directly into significantly quicker lap times – even surpassing the acclaimed Mono R – alongside improved acceleration.
Track-Optimised Exhaust: A new Cup-specific, lighter stainless-steel race exhaust system further contributes to weight reduction and delivers an even more aggressive soundtrack.
