Record-Setting Video Game Bundles

The Grid 2 Bac Mono Edition Includes a Real Car

— May 28, 2013 — Autos
Only the most hardcore gearheads and gamers will be in the market for the Grid 2 Bac Mono Edition. This ultra-pricey special edition comes with both the game and a Bac Mono. The Bac Mono is more or less an adult go kart on steroids. The single-seat racer has a carbon fiber body and a 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine good for 280 horsepower. That performance, combined with its design and lightweight, is good for a 0 to 62 time of 2.8 seconds and a top speed of 170 mph.

Those who buy the Grid 2 Bac Mono Edition will get both the game and the car. Additionally, the package also comes complete with a PS3, a complete racing ensemble and a visit to the Bac Mono factory. The price for all of this awesomeness is a staggering $190,000.
