GRID 2 BAC Mono Edition

This isn't a collector's edition. This is a supercar with a video game attached. The GRID 2 BAC Mono Edition for PlayStation 3 might be the most absurd special edition ever produced, centering on a real, road-legal BAC Mono sports car in exclusive GRID 2 livery.

That's not a model. That's not a replica. That's an actual single-seat supercar.

The package also includes a day at the BAC factory with a full tour and time with technicians to customize the Mono to your size and specifications. You get a GRID 2 Mono Edition branded Bell Racing helmet, a made-to-measure race suit, boots, and gloves all in BAC Mono and GRID 2 branding, a PlayStation 3 console, and a copy of GRID 2 with bespoke artwork. Codemasters looked at the collector's edition landscape and decided subtlety was for other publishers.

Only a handful of these were ever produced, making it one of the rarest gaming collectibles in existence. The BAC Mono itself is a remarkable piece of automotive engineering, and wrapping it in GRID 2 livery creates a crossover between gaming culture and motorsport that has never been replicated at this scale. For collectors who document the extremes of what this hobby can produce, the GRID 2 BAC Mono Edition is the ceiling.

It's proof that somewhere, at some point, someone greenlit the idea of bundling a supercar with a PS3 game. We're still not over it.
