This supercar is a Formula 1 car for the freeway MONTEREY, Calif. -- Drive down the freeway in a car that looks like it belongs at the head of the Formula 1 field. -- Drive down the freeway in a car that looks like it belongs at the head of the Formula 1 field. That's the basic idea behind the BAC Mono, a single-seat supercar that's officially meant for the track, but is capable of being modified for the street, according to Andrew Whitney, president of BAC North America. He was showing off a Mono last week at the Quail Motorsports Gathering at a golf course as part of Monterey Car Week. The car, in which the driver sits in the middle, has no air conditioning, but then again, you don't need it: It has an open-air cockpit. The car is powered by a Ford Duratec engine that's been modified by Cosworth. The price starts at about $230,000 in the U. S. and Whitney says 20 cars have been sold in the states so far.
