BAC Mono

This is one of the closest vehicles to being a race car for the street, the BAC Mono. Many of you  viewing this post are probably unfamiliar with this insane track toy, so here's a little history: the BAC Mono was introduced in 2011 by Briggs Automotive Company, which is based in the United Kingdom. It is currently the only street-legal, one-seat performance car in existence. Early iterations were powered by a 2.3-liter Cosworth four-cylinder producing 285 horsepower and 206 lb-ft of torque, with a 2.8-second 0-62 mph time and a 170 mph top speed. Newer versions have a more powerful 2.5-liter Mountune four-cylinder producing 305 horsepower and 227 lb-ft of torque. However, the Mono 2.5 tacks on 88 pounds compared to the Mono 2.3. Although it may not seem all that powerful or contain a massive engine, the BAC Mono's 525 hp-per-tonne power-to-weight ratio is the main factor contributing to its blisteringly fast acceleration and lap times. Every unit is equipped with a six-speed sequential semi-automatic gearbox and consists of a carbon fiber body over a steel chassis. A typical BAC Mono sells for around $200k, which tends to be more than what its nearest competitors, such as the Ariel Atom, KTM X-Bow, and Caterham Seven, generally sell for. That being said, the BAC Mono is absolutely crazy despite having no practicality whatsoever. As you can tell, it was created for thrill-seeking and not much else, and I am totally cool with that.
