2014 BAC Mono Review

    Track days are getting more and more popular, and so are track-oriented cars. Lots of people buy a very light sports car and occasionally take it to the track and spend the day doing laps. But a good amount of track cars aren't road legal, so you have a decision to make: do you want a really fast and good-performing car, or do you want one that you can drive there and back. But there are a few cars that can do both, such as this: the BAC Mono. It has a naturally-aspirated in-line four-cylinder, which produces 280 hp and 206 pound-feet of torque. Now that might not sound like much, but it's made by Cosworth, and it is also used in the Caterham Seven CSR. And even if it isn't very powerful, the car has a better power-to-weight ratio than a Bugatti Veyron, so it does 0-60 in 2.8 seconds, and goes on to a top speed of over 170 mph. The interior doesn't actually have a roof or windows, so instead of having conventional materials, like leather or suede, it has a special material that is waterproof. If it rains, the water will roll of the surfaces of the interior, but you will still get quite wet. The only problem I have with this car is why you would buy it over a Morgan Three-Wheeler, which is my favorite track car. It is still at second place, but it seems much more fun to drive something like a Caterham Seven, which isn't necessarily faster, but is just a better car.
