The BAC Mono is a single-seat street-legal race car with a top speed of 170 mph. It can go from 0 to 62 in 2.8 seconds.
Now, the BAC Mono has become an even more niche luxury vehicle with a BAC Mono Marine Edition specifically designed for racing on the decks of ocean-bound yachts. The BAC Mono Marine Edition is coated in an anti-corrosive material to protect against salt damage from sea air. It features lifting points and comes with its own carbon fiber davit so it can be easily hoisted onto a ship's deck. A climate-controlled container allows the BAC Mono to be safely stored while at sea.
The standard BAC Mono costs $200,000, but the made-to-order marine edition is priced at $800,000.
