Watch Two BAC Monos Race at Nurburgring

The tarmac-devouering machine that is powered by Coswarth-built engines is calld the BAC Mono and is nothing more than a banter-weight race car with a place to mount your license plate at the front.
Two single seater BAC Monos have been filmed racing each other at the Gran Turismo EVO, a track day even held this weekend at the Nurburgring.

These go-car machines are more advanced than they might seem. Offering a carbon fiber skin that covers a space-frame steel cell.

The Cosworth engines we mentioned are 2.3-liter four-cylinder units with 280 bhp at 7,700 rpm and 280 Nm (207 lb.ft.) at 6,000 rpm.

The Mono reaches 60 mph (97 km/h) in just 2.8 seconds and offers a top speed of 170 mph (274 km/h). If you’ve started thinking this is a rival for the Atom, don’t – the Mono cost a whopping £79,950 (including UK taxes).

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
