Codemasters have announced that the world’s most expensive videogame – the GRID 2: Mono Edition - is available for pre-order with a price tag of £125,000. This exclusive edition of the game is available for just one customer and includes the racing game GRID 2, a PlayStation 3 to play it on, a 170 m.p.h.

The 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.

At £125,000, the GRID 2: Mono Edition has set a new Guinness World Records title for the “Most Expensive Video Game Commercially Available – Special Edition.” The GRID 2: Mono Edition includes:
  • A copy of GRID 2 for PlayStation 3 featuring bespoke packaging artwork.
  • BAC Mono supercar in exclusive GRID 2 livery.

  • Race suit, boots & gloves all made to measure in BAC Mono and GRID 2 branding.
  • A PlayStation 3.
The GRID 2: Mono Edition is available to pre-order at GAME.

“BAC is immensely proud and excited at the release of GRID 2: Mono Edition; a game which offers an opportunity for one lucky person to own a truly unique supercar,” said Neill Briggs, Project Director, BAC Mono. “Codemasters has developed a stunning game which focuses on delivering the ultimate driving experience and Mono is the ultimate expression of this, in both the real and virtual worlds.”
