Mono

Saw this on Top Gear. Called the Mono. 2.3l Cosworth engine driving 1,000 lb. 0-60 in 2.8 sec. Top speed 170 mph. Second fastest car around the Top Gear track with the Stig as the driver.

I want mine in blue please.

The Mono

Starting at 96,495 pounds, and probably not road legal in the U.S. Looks exciting, but I'll pass.

Could be legal if imported as a kit car. That's how stuff like Arial Atom that doesn't meet our nanny standards comes in.

Isn’t there a pass on cars that import less than 500 to the states?
