世界首台公路单座跑车即将亮相中国大陆
The world's only single-seat racing car built to run on public roads is preparing to make its debut in Chinese mainland.
世界首台为公共道路打造的单座跑车即将亮相中国大陆。
Britons Neill and Ian Briggs plan to launch the 274 kilometers an hour BAC Mono, described as the ultimate road beast, in either Beijing or Shanghai in the coming months.
The two brothers are convinced the car will become the ultimate 'big boy' accessory among young cosmopolitan executives in China's big cities.
But they also hope their entry into China will attract something that has so far eluded the BAC-Mono: the first female buyer, willing to splash out at least 235,000 U.S. dollars (plus delivery and taxes). The price can be double if buyers opt for the full range of customisation.
A few months ago the car, capable of reaching a speed of 0 to 96.5 km/h in 2.8 seconds, made its debut in Hong Kong, with the allocation of cars available all snapped up with days.
With a waiting list currently standing at 14 months, the hand-built sports racers come off a production line in Liverpool at the rate of just one a week.
