BAC Mono Review // The $250,000 Car That Ruins All Other Cars
Vložit
- čas přidán 1. 09. 2020
- This is the BAC Mono, a special creation from a little land called Great Britain. Absurdly light, and not the least bit cheap (Our example closes in on $400,000 CAD!), it is made to tear up tracks and bring a smile to your face. Oh, did we mention that it hits 60mph in 2.7 seconds? So with that in mind, does it light our fire, and what kind of lap time can it set on our track? Watch to find out. Subscribe!

At the end when Thomas gets real with us... I felt that. All of us car guys felt that. Thank you. ❤❤❤❤
They have already surpassed Topgear...... atleast in making quality content (soon they will in subs also)
@@RahulKumar-mu3wc not a top gear fan here but they have not surpassed top gear. But they are pretty close tonwhat top gear was 5 6 years ago ( which is INSANSE tbh).
x 3 i think he meant they’ve surpassed top gear as it is rn, which tbh isnt hard to do with content like this
This car is what the British do best, insane cars with no practical use!
Perhaps more emotional feeling or connections to the and presentation.
Subtitles: "Unintelligible"
Car Enthusiasts: "We understand you perfectly, Thomas"
It makes me so proud, honestly grinning from ear to ear to know that a Canadian channel is the closest to having that old top gear feel. You guys are amazing and destined for greatness, and it shows. The team you guys have put together is even better than the BAC Mono.
This. All we need now is Mat Watson from Carwow to join them and we have the actual new Top Gear that's watchable.
@@jowarrior prolly maple syrup
I wasnt following cars for a while, now I discover this. Wtf??? When and from what did they come from?
Yes bro....I've been longing for that jezza,hamster and capt slow feel for quite a while now...these dudes do it for me
@@jowarrior You Maple Syrup lovers are so Lucky that Thomas has a true Hero in James to work with ..Indeed both guys are great and their English is so well spoken
Being fortunate enough to work on the first few of these I knew it was going to be an incredible car. Just like checking every once in awhile to see what everyone thinks of it
Its not a car , it's literally a track racer. No one ever is mono-wning this glorified Go-kart. It will never be a DD.
"This is better than sex." ...you said the quiet part out loud. The wives/girlfriends aren't supposed to know about that.
Well with a set of fresh tyres and a tank of gas lapping this thing can last an hour or so... Try having this much fun for that long in bed, hahahaha
W0o0dy jeez
Monogamy is the worst one mentioned
What all the fuss is aboot
@@W0o0dy : Name checks out
Karts tell themselves that one day they’ll grow up to be a BAC Mono 😂
Lol.
@@ThrottleHouse Get a Radical RXC GT 600 and see if this BAC is still top dog. Older version tested already goes faster than P1 around an England track.
:D
@@ThrottleHouse..You guys should review the polaris slingshot or the ariel atom now..
Lmao
The in/on-car camera work in this video is absolutely fantastic. You guys really outdid yourselves this week, incredible review of an incredible car and Thomas's bit at the end really was special. Thanks for all the great content :)
This was Dymag's first serious BX carbon wheel project and sets the benchmark for other projects...we are very proud to be part of this fantastic journey by the Briggs brothers.
There should be a drag race and a Track Test between the Bac Mono And the Ariel Atom V8.
And the KTM X-Bow
@@violet_lilac oh hell no lmao
Drag races are waste of most cars engineering
Allen Saunders hur dur car go vroom vroom straight line
Allen Saunders but they’re cool
For the first time, instead of saying “and I’m James”. He said “I’m James”
“And that’s Thomas”
I don't know him anymore.
Iluminati confirmed??? 🤔🤔🤔
This felt like I was watching an old top gear episode. Everything about this video was brilliant, the talent, the sound, the visuals, all of it came together to make this a masterpiece that modern top gear would be jealous of. Awesome stuff
That voiceover for the Hotlap was absolutely spot on. Well done, I think you should do it more often.
James’s caption for “childish giggles” followed by Thomas’s heart-to-heart moment put me in the feels. Love you guys! I hope to run into y’all in the real world some day.
Me seeing an upload: Ooh what drag race or test they showing now?
Them: RACE CAR GO BRRRRR
I agree, thanks for being real at the end. It is awesome to be able to watch someone live their dream. The joy is contagious, even through the screen. Thanks for the great reviews and entwrtainment!
This was a brilliant episode. Amazing car, but you two just did an amazing job keeping it from stealing the show. Wonderful dialogue, all the details of getting in and out of the car, the noises and vibrations right out front with the record-setting specs, and that bit of humility at the end. 👏
I’ll be there when you get to 1 million, you guys deserve it!
This is very Top Gear style, I freaking love it guys 👌
I couldn’t agree more!
Yeah, they have even got their own james
What's really amazing is how close the performance of two Camaros, two Mustangs, and a Corvette (the previous top five) was to this little missile. The Mono is amazing, and probably is a perfect track toy, but that's _all_ it is. If four beefy, option-laden GTs, and one equally well-equipped Corvette, are only four seconds behind this thing, they are even more impressive than I realized.
It's always great to see the both of you enjoying the cars we all love so much. Your enjoyment in driving and explaining the cars, along with the slap-stick side-show, is both fun and informative. And it is even better to see y'all giddy over the BAC Mono. It gives viewers similar sensation through visual osmosis!
Thomas : All the way in!
James: It's in ahhh!
😅😅
@ 06:25
That's what she said moment but thomas didn't say it :D
me in high school
Balls deep! Lol
he IS McLovin lol
hotsky83 😅😅 Thomas' silencer hole is gonna get modified.
"monogamy is a negative thing", I think James is going to pay for that once the GF sees it.
That, and "this is better than sex"
As a polyamourus person I found that very funny.
Hahaahaha I thought the same when I heard him say that. Oh the wife/GF ain't gonna be too happy about that comment
@@zmuzzy101 you're the "my girlfriends boyfriend" gave me a Nintendo switch and some soy milk so they could go out together" person
@@kirbyswarp haha omg have you been spying on me?
Has to be my favorite episode so far. I loved the shenanigans (as usual), but I loved your expression of gratitude and the honesty of your feelings and excitement for the vehicle.
Was about to comment about how you guys are living the dream... then your closing came up. You two are the best because you haven't lost touch. Remember when Matt Farah used to giggle uncontrollably with 500hp cars?! Then he drove the Hennessy venom and lost it. I hope that never happens to you guys.
But I can't wait to see you drive a McLaren f1!
Doug DeMuro be having Vietnam flashbacks.
Shouting at a $5 mic
😂😂😂😂😂😂🤧
I would love to see an F1 Driver in one of these. Push it to the limit
The Stig drove it on Top Gear
I'm just gonna say it. Thomas looks like a superhero in that track suit.
You guys have a way of making me soak in what I just watched and not watch anything for 20-60 minutes. It was the same way with the LFA. Great job Thomas, James, and the rest of the crew.
I do exactly this whenever I watch a video about the gt350 and I thought it was only me lol
The way to start off a Wednesday morning 😉
Hell ya
I just realize it’s Wednesday. Thanks man lol
I'm sorry i live in a different country and its night time
Where i live its already night
@@improbro1124 well in the carribean its 9:18 AM
I dont know why but I was smiling throughout watching this. Great show. Great car too.🙂🙂 👍🏾
I have no words for this channel and these guys. Last time I felt like that watching automotive content was in Jeremy Clarkson's v12 vantage "review". It just make me happy knowing you guys got to enjoy a car like that. Cheers from Brazil! Keep up the wonderful work!
This video show passion and the love for what you guys are doing, pure joy.
Great review guys. I am glad you are grateful, it's very important to value what you have. I am not a wealthy person so Thomas's last line hit home with me, my Fiesta ST is the most fun thing I have ever bought with money.
The Fiesta ST is a legend. You own a fantastic car.
So stoked for Throttle House. You guys are the best and being the best has brought you to this point where you are now one of those rare few you mentioned. Thanks for all the great content and so happy to be a part of you being able to drive something like this. Best car review channel on CZcams! Sorry Doug.
The most refreshing thing about you guys is that there are no narcissistic egos and intellectual pride on display. Many other CZcams car channel personalities are more concerned with their "image" rather than just being themselves and focusing on the cars. They brag and flex in a subtle way which gets old real quick. "They" want to be the center of attention rather than the cars! Keep up the humility guys and you will have 10 million+ subs down the road soon! Stay true to yourselves no matter how famous you become!
Been watching you guys for a bit now and I have to say that the astonishing quality of the video/sound/b rolls/fake scripts are just over the top great. But now kick in an ultra amazing and unique car like this then it is all just over the tippy top! To see you both truly get in and under and into this car was just awesome to see it evolve into heavenly joy! Granted you both are very fortunate to have the wonderful driving talents and the access and privilege and professionalism to review breathtaking automobiles like this. Thank you for sharing this and all of the other awesome cars videos you’ve made!
WBNY
Thomas being grateful in the end.. that was so wholesome. Thank you ❤️
James: “It’s coming home! It’s coming home!”
😂😂😂
Footballs coming home 😈
It’s coming home in EURO😅
I wish these guys could do a crossover with Clarkson, May, and Hammond. I just feel like it would be a ton of fun to watch and they would mesh really well. Great review guys. What an absolute banger of a car
I wish youtubers and OG TV guys did more colabs too!
The level of production and true automotive passion in your videos is just as unreal as this car is.
For all the rich guys buying Italians sport cars “to go to the race track”, buy one of these.
Why not
Also British cars are notorious for being unreliable
@oneviwatara what's an H2R?
@oneviwatara an a lot more dangerous
@@JJs_playground a Kawasaki bike with supercharger and 330 horsepower if I remember well
Nothing can beat this on a Wednesday morning. Thanks Thomas and James :D
@@saltyfloridaman7163 It is simply because how relatively small the track they have is. 4 seconds on a track that size is really a significant amount of time.
New(ish) to Throttle House, and already a fan. First video of yours I've seen where you break down the lap and with a track map. That's a great layout. Great video!
I just found your channel, and I’ve been binge-watching for about 3 days. Needless to say I really enjoy your channel and I appreciate everything you guys are doing, and I’m looking forward to future videos. Keep up the great work. All the best from an L.A. singer (and car lover!) living in Germany.👍🏽
The cinematography in this clip is outstanding. Anyone watching 5 minutes in would guess it's Top Gear. Amazing.
Never said this about a channel before and I'm glad I havent until now. You guys genuinely deserve over 1 million subscribers and a lot more! The content you produce week in week out is spectacular. Keep it up guys and continue to live your dream 🙌🏾
Thomas the end is what tied this up all perfectly. This is why you two are great at what you do. I felt that, we all felt that. Thank you...
Awesome, great ending. Really proud of you guys, possibly the greatest car channel on CZcams is a Canadian production.
I've been contemplating leaving BC and moving to Ontario just for racing... and if I do I'd love to meet you guys.
And this is why we love cars, just look at the pure joy on their faces and hear it in their voices.
Thomas, thanks for saying what you said at the end 👏
Another great video guys, well done 👍
Thank you for having fun in a car for us. You portray what every petrolhead car guy in the world thinks and wants to feel in a car. Just incredible. Thank you
Bro I saw that thumbnail on my subscriptions and I literally was like
What IS that thing 😂😂
Wow, way to evoke emotion, boys! Brilliant, simple video that really helped me experience the joy of the Mono.
I wish I could be there, experiencing that thrill, the summit of truly living!
And that last bit at the end is why I watch you guys. Supercar reviewers are a dime a dozen, but very few put the level of editing and personality into their work as you guys do. You could be reviewing minivans and I'd watch all the way to the end.
Each video is getting more and more reminiscent of early top gear and I love it!
This is also the best video you guys have made, please please just load the whole day and show it all about the MONO, please. Because what Thomas said is so true, I could watch those POV back shots for hours. Thanks millions, you guys are living the life ;)
It's crazy how the Viper practically match this car track record 😮
It is. What hp is the Viper?
This car is absolutely insane, and I love it
Amazing that Thomas shared that with us. It's great to see someone living Thier best life. Well done lads. Great content
I am so happy to hear your reactions at the end, thank you for your amazing channel! I’m so glad you enjoyed this car. I’ve only ever driven it in video games!
I watched this video and felt every moment of it, this is what a combination of immense talent and a very special car can deliver, thank you guys... 👏👏👏

It's from "Brave New World".
Great tv show
@@davidlegkodukh6969 I don't know about the show man... monogamy just means having one romantic partner lol..and I know all about brave new World
I went looking for this comment :P
RealOrbit - Australia You don’t know about the show but you know all about it? What?
@@Jordan-ll5eq I meant I don't know about the reference in the show but I'm well aware of the brave new world story...ye I saw I didn't make sense but couldn't be stuffed editing
16:28 *wholesome moment* thanks for not makeing us feel poor
Glad someone on this planet gets to have fun like this. Keeps the dream alive for me... one day I’ll be on the track when I’ve got deeper pockets!
You guys are awesome. I love watching your reviews. And of course am very envious. Thank you Thomas for being empathetic and you relating to us everyday people who don't have the opportunity to drive the amazing vehicles you two get to drive but being empathetic in stating you don't take it all for granted.
“It’s the car that can tear up your entire face”. - Top Gear
I think that was the aerial atom
@Neo Leo I think so too actually. But either way, the quote works.
@@neoleo593 they're both similar tbh, the Ariel is just a bit more insane lmao
Atom V8.
For some reason, I'm glad you guys get to drive this track weapon. 1M any day now.
Thomas with the closing statement that we all felt….Damn, he’s great on the closers man… …I f*ucking love this channel.😌😅
Thank you for the ending of this video, made me feel more then I can put into words. Well done.!
As someone who's dreamt of being an F1 or racecar driver, I think I would be totally fine settling with just being a BAC Mono owner. This is basically a road legal Formula-3 car and I need it.
That seemed frackingly awesome! My heart was pounding just watching you 2 in that TOY going flat out.
I know neither of the next 2 TOYS I am going to mention are considered cars but, I would enjoy seeing a comparison between the SLINGSHOT and the TREX. Don't hate me for asking, I just think it would be fun to know what you gents thought about either of them.
Great content as always, now i'm off to take a shower thanks to the sweating I did just watching this episode. Stay Safe!
I ended up on this channel after going through the Top Gear/Chris Harris/Grand Tour wormhole. I was surprised to the the Ontario plates on the cars they were driving. Being from Ontario myself, I felt a bit of an instant connection to these guys. I love the reviews, love the track runs. I really appreciate when we get the turn by turn rundown of whats happening on the track. not just the "here's a fast car doing a fast time on this track." That moment at the end with Thomas getting real about what he does really hit home for me. Thank you Throttle House, you've got a new fan forever in me. Can't wait to see what else you guys have for us!!
🤘thanks for watching!!
That ending was well spoken and portrayed. Thank you guys.
What the hell are they filming with at 15:20?! Maybe it's the clear skies or something but it's so clear and crisp that it looks like they're behind a green screen or something. Nice!
They have diffused light on them, like a cloud is between them and the sun. Or they just have a super huge light diffuser. Notice that they aren't making harsh shadows.
They use an iphone camera.
a camera.
My favorite episode so far. You guys seem like you’d fit right in with our group of track-day car nuts. We spend more time giving each other shit than we do driving. But we love driving.
Best. Car. Review. You’ve. Ever. Done. Thank you.
I felt your enthusiasm. Love the show guys.
Alright, isn't anyone gonna talk about how this video just made your day?
Recently found this channel and am loving the content! Great chemistry between Thomas and James keeps things light and entertaining. Quick question for Thomas: if you're so into fine mechanical timepieces - mentions of IWC and JLC abound - why wear an Apple watch? Given your racing focus, why not get a racing chronograph like a Speedmaster or Heuer Autavia?
Good question! I have a seamaster professional that I wear often, but the practicality of the Apple Watch won me over during busy days where I don’t have my phone in my pocket (filming) and can still see important notifications.
No other show has given me that Top Gear fix since the dark times began. You guys have an amazing thing going. Thank you for being you! (and giving us such great content).
I'm happy that i stumbled onto your channel yesterday. 5 videos in and I love it. Two thumbs up.
Bravo, Gentlemen. Especially the outro.
You guys really are just awesome. I don't care what the numbers say you two are the best at this. Unlike the others I could list, I feel like a friend along for the ride rather than something just being presented to me. You manage to make me laugh and I can't tell you how much I appreciate that you don't delve into absurdity like off-roading a Daewoo or some such nonsense. Y'all's nonsense is quality nonsense and don't let anyone tell you different. Don't mess with success and keep em coming. I'll watch everything you post, probably not Nissan stuff though. Sorry. Unless you're catapulting them into a ravine and donating the scrap to benefit a charity, prime entertainment right there.
There numbers are doing good now Adays
Love these guys! Loved Thomas' ending remarks, very cool.
The moment i get a notification of your new video, i smile! This is your accomplishment and i thank you for that!
Wow guys your videos are getting ridiculously good. Thomas I love how you can describe exactly how the car feels to drive. I’m missing Top Gear a little less after every throttle house video I see.
Was going to have a working lunch....and then you drop this! You’ll get me fired.....WORTH IT! 😎
clown
Get to work.
I dont usually comment, but when i do, it's because you two are god damn amazing! Honest expressions of emotions during these videos is what hooked me the most :) But this one, wow, i haven't seen you both that happy before , it was lovely!
You guys really give me a grand tour type of vibe and I love it.
Model T you can feel everything in the road too.
@ 8:03 that's when you know James is going to end up in the 🐕 🏠 .... I hope Thomas feels sorry for him 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
What a magnificently edited video. Great work thank you!
Outstanding work guys, impecable production to the team behind this excellent video.
"I feel sick and it's great" lol.
Soooo...
I've specced an Ariel Atom 4 to my heart's desire and it's around 80K £, so anywhere between a third and a half of the price of the BAC MONO.
It seats two, it's maybe 100 pounds heavier, but you can get the 350 bhp option, brake bias switch, variable power, AP Brakes, fully adjustable suspension so... would be interesting to understand what's the gap.
The bank balance is why this is 300k ca$.. if you can, then why not? Same goes for Donkervoort d8 gto rs.. it's fantastic but only if money is not a real issue to you.
The gap is the bodywork, suspension, steering wheel, seat, transmission etc etc. Basically everything lol. The BAC Mono is actually quite a bit faster than even the v8 Atom. It was a second faster around the top Gear track and that is a pretty short course. The Mono shattered the fastest time at the Goodwood hill climb a few years ago.
If this is a serious question, I’ll answer for you. I own a mono and an atom 3.5R (have driven an atom 4 and the v8) so will try to provide facts not conjecture. If that’d help, let me know.
@@jasgts you answered nothing basically
@@jasgts 100% serios. Wow, you're a lucky person!
Amazing...I always appreciate how down to Earth you guys are I hope I can drive something like that one day. I love this channel
Well done gents! Well done! Looks like I'll be adding driving a BAC Mono to my bucket list.
I would love to see the BAC Mono against a 70's Formula or Indy car. And then progressively newer ones to see at what time they catch up to the Mono.
"You'll need a trailer, and a man to take care of it, and a track." Not in the US! If I was a wealthy Canadian I would move just so I could drive that thing on public roads.
Whats with Canada and their no fun road registration rules! Most of the Western world lets you register them!
Just two friends, drivin an amazing car around a beautiful track... thanks , great episode.🙌🏾🐻
Soo glad to see the mono on here, has been my ultimate pure track day toy for awhile (dreams)
