Default BAC Mono - Single seat sportscar

At the LA autoshow and was chatting to BAC, they make the Mono a lighweight single seat car - effectively a racecar for the road, under 600 Kg with a. 305 HP Ford engine.

They are. In discussions with a Toronto dealership about bringing them into Canada - not sure if they would be street legal but look like a lot of fun.

Oh and these cars were customer cars - the one I'm next to is owned by DeadMaus if the logo didn't give it away - I don't think the public will get this close but the show hadn't officially opened yet :-)

It will be interesting to see if they can make it road legal and keep the price out of the stratosphere.

And would it fall under the category as the new 3 wheelers that require you to wear a seat belt and helmet.

225 USD with options extra, according to the guys here 260 is a typical retail with options.

wow what a rip

I'd go for the KTM X-Bow, way cheaper though still too expensive in my opinion.

Pass. Can get a bespoke Caterham 7 for less than $100k.

Marketing vs Reality (http://monoforum.com/showthread.php?...ship-Hell-Ends)

I learned the hard way. Very hard. Regularly in pieces in my garage being fixed by me at my expense. Happiest day of my life when I finally sold it after 4 years of misery, expense and being BACStabbed.
