Featured car - Stig's Car of the Year
Stig's Car of the Year
BAC Mono
The path is well trodden: unknown British car manufacturer builds a lightweight track special with "Veyron-rivalling acceleration" and "race-car thrills". Said lightweight turns out to be built in a garden shed from recovered girders and tin cans by a man with no welding skills. Or fingers.
Not the BAC Mono. This single-seater, dreamt up by brothers Neill and Ian Briggs, is a sculpture of engineering, a miniature masterpiece of exposed carbon fibre and metal and poo-proof Alcantara, all cocooned about a 2.3-litre Cosworth race engine. This is the ultimate antisocial racer for the ultimate antisocial racer. This is Stig's 2011 Car of the Year.
