00:02 I'm not sure you can buy much more fun than this for any
00:07 amount of money in the world.
00:08 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:31 Well, this is a bit different.
00:33 This is the BAC Bolo.
00:35 Ha, ha, ha.
00:39 It's as extreme as they come.
00:41 So what is this car?
00:43 Well, it has inboard suspension, 2.5 liter, four
00:53 cylinder, mountain tune engine, Ford engine, 305,
00:58 310 horsepower.
01:02 Six-speed sequential Hewland box, pneumatically
01:05 operated, paddle shift, so flat out shifts.
01:10 I've got a clutch pedal, which I can use on downshifts.
01:14 $220,000, this thing.
01:17 It weighs 630 kilos, which is just under 1,400 pounds.
01:24 The engine is bolted directly to the top.
01:28 So it's incredibly powerful.
01:30 There's so much vibration through the car.
01:33 And that's just part of the appeal.
01:36 There's nothing like this car.
01:39 It's road legal in the UK, where it's made.
01:43 But it's also road legal in the US.
01:46 Wow, it's so cool, this thing.
01:48 [CAR ENGINE]
02:01 Despite appearances, it's a mechanical grip car.
02:07 It's not a downforce car.
02:09 Such high levels of grip and cornering.
02:13 But it's so progressive.
02:15 When it lets go, amazing brake feel, no ABS.
02:21 But boy, does it stop.
02:23 You can just lean on the car.
02:26 And this driving position, you're laid back,
02:29 single-seater style.
02:31 And at first, it feels unnatural, and you want to sit
02:34 up, but actually, you get used to it.
02:37 And you actually want to go further down to be further
02:40 into the chassis.
02:41 But the man is a man.
02:43 It's how approachable it is, how intense it is.
02:45 [CAR ENGINE]
02:52 Next time someone tells you to watch GT3 RS, it's an
02:59 extreme road car.
03:02 Boy, they're in the direction of this thing.
