When it comes to a weekend sport, few generate as much publicity as motorsport, or more simply, go-carting. Much lower in intensity as compared to a full-blown F1 version, it still gives the driver and motorsport lover much of the thrill they seek. For those who can spare the extra cash, some of these racing cars are available for adding to the collection, including the limited edition BAC Mono single-seat racer. This racing car will carry with it, a price tag of $130,000 each and will be made available in United States mainly.
Sector 111 LLC has been the company behind the introduction of the limited edition series of racing cars. Their primary forte remains after market performance parts and services, they have actually gone a step ahead to create these rather vibrant vehicles. In terms of the car’s engine, there is a 2.3-liter Cosworth machine which generates 280HP of output, with 6-speed sequential transmission. While is takes just about 2.8 seconds to reach from 0-100 km/ph, the top speed possible on the vehicle goes to 274 km/ph. The reason for such a quick and intense pick up with high top-speed is also aided by the fact that these cars are comparatively lightweight. At just 540 kg of overall weight, it falls into the lighter category of cars and the secret lies with the aerodynamic carbon fiber body. This means a light body, greater efficiency in terms of engine thrust.
As we had mentioned earlier, this car will be available in a limited edition series of just 12 units per year, from 2012. They will be imported into the US by Ariel Atom, who happens to be the exclusive dealer. However, there are many attractive shades to choose from, including the tangerine, yellow, black, white, blue, red and green. So if you are planning to splurge on anything in the New Year, this car wouldn’t be a bad option for motorsport enthusiasts.
