LEGENDARY CAR BAC MONO (2014) - FORZA HORIZON 5

At the Mono’s heart is a solidly mounted engine, a 280bhp 2.3-litre four-cylinder Cosworth unit to be precise. It sits in the middle (as you’d expect), driving the rear wheels via a six-speed Hewland sequential gearbox and a limited-slip differential. The 0-60 time is well below 3.0sec while the top speed is a claimed 170mph. Its 527bhp/ton power-to-weight ratio is 6bhp better than a Bugatti Veyron's, too. The suspension comprises a racing-style fully adjustable pushrod setup, the brakes come from AP Racing and the Kumho tyres are bespoke-developed for the Mono. Ultimately grabbing the headlines, though, is the Sebastian Vettel cockpit view, with a central, single seat (each customer has their interior fitted around them, as you might hope at this sort of money) and an electronic, button-festooned steering wheel with a flat bottom and top. It’s pure theatre.The Mono looks beautiful and modern but there’s also something quite uncomfortable about leaning over to remove its odd, almost-square steering wheel, standing on the seat and then sliding down until your feet reach the pedal assembly. The driving position is proper single-seater stuff, laid back so far that you want to sit up so that your head peeps out just a little higher. Then you reconnect the wheel and buckle up the harness tight enough so that you really are locked down into the seat. ABOUT GAME Forza Horizon 5 is a racing video game set in an open world environment based in a fictional representation of Mexico.The game has the largest map in the entire Forza Horizon series, being 50% larger than its predecessor, Forza Horizon 4, while also having the highest point in the Horizon series. The map was described by creative director Mike Brown as one of the most diverse Forza Horizon maps the team has built.The map contains an active caldera volcano, jungles and beaches, ancient Mayan temples, and towns and cities such as Guanajuato. Players can explore the open world freely, though they can also compete in multiplayer races and complete the campaign mode. Both the cars featured in the game and the player character can be extensively customised.Players are able to create custom liveries and tunes for cars, and perform engine swaps, drivetrain swaps, or install body kits on certain vehicles. The game is the first in the franchise to support ray tracing on cars (although this is only available in Forzavista). #forzahorizon5 #mono #sportcar
