Grid 2 releases on 31 May, and if you\u2019re looking to shell out that little bit extra to get a special incentive, the Mono Edition should satisfy your spending itch.<\/p>\n

While most special or collector\u2019s editions come with a keyring, shirt, or maybe a steel case, the Mono Edition comes with a race car\u2026 yeah\u2026 a real race car.<\/p>\n

The \u00a3125,000 (R1,805,000) exclusive offer features the game (I\u2019d expect it to at that price), and the BAC Mono supercar, coated out in a Grid 2 livery.<\/p>\n

On top of that, you\u2019ll also get a full racing suit and a Playstation 3 with your ostentatious purchase.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe BAC Mono is a British manufactured, road-legal, ultra-high performance supercar which stars in the game. Created from high-strength carbon fibre, the BAC Mono is an unrivalled example of light-weight performance engineering and its 2.3 litre, 280 bhp four cylinder power plant will propel its driver from 0-60 m.p.h. in just 2.8 seconds.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Mono Edition is now shortlisted to break the\u00a0Guinness\u00a0World Record for the most expensive video game ever.<\/p>\n

So, just to clarify, the Mono Edition includes:<\/p>\n

\u2022 A copy of GRID 2 for PlayStation 3 featuring bespoke packaging artwork
\n\u2022 BAC Mono supercar in exclusive GRID 2 livery
\n\u2022 A day at the BAC factory, which includes a factory tour and time spent with technicians, to customise the BAC Mono for size and specifications
\n\u2022 A GRID 2: Mono Edition branded Bell Racing helmet
\n\u2022 Race suit, boots & gloves all made to measure in BAC Mono and GRID 2 branding
\n\u2022 A PlayStation 3<\/p>\n

There\u2019s only one available, and I\u2019m going to beat you all to it. On a completely unrelated note, you only need one kidney, right?<\/p>\n
