spent some time with Castriota at Monticello hearing about this unique design elements for the car, the construction of the carbon chassis, the world top speed record they are trying to distinguish the car with. lets just say in today’s saturated and ultra-high quality sports car environment, he’s got a big hill to…
it’s interesting that they would bring that up.. i know the company he’s referencing well and they did a lot of work for him, on this and on many of his other projects.

I’ve driven the BAC Mono, and it convinced me i’m not the hardcore gearhead that I thought i was. On paper, it has all the coolest attributes which make you think this is the machine you dream of, like central seating for that F1 feeling.
