GIAT MONO

Hello everyone! Say hello to a little record setter of mine. My absolute smallest vehicle ever (don't worry i won't build anything smaller....... or will i? )

lol

-What Is this?
So, this Is a 1.6 meter long and 1 meter wide microcar. Basically It's barely bigger than the Peel P50. But that's not the only important element of this car, it's also my first VR compatible car so it's definitevely one of my more unconventional vehicles.

Everything is in the in-game instructions, please read them

-Lore
Giat had the microcar market pretty much cornered with the B0X1NA and the Bubble but their expansion wasn't over yet. As they sold more and more vehicles a new rival appeared in the form of the "Satto CT" a small single seater created by the national motorcycle builder "Satto". Satto also wanted to expand in the microcar market so they let their designers run wild creating a radical little 3 wheeler (basically a futuristic looking P50) and they started selling tons of them with car sharing schemes and long term rents making it drivable at a 0.50 G per day (basically 50 cents per day).
Giat didn't want to be outdone, so they asked their designers to create what they said was "the ultimate democratic car", a car built to be affordable to everyone, built to be driven by everyone (with huge attention to making it drivable also by disabled people or people that couldn't use pedals on a regular car) and that could serve anyone (offering exactly what was enough for an urban vehicle).
The result was a revolutionary vehicle with a yoke steering system that didn't involve pedals, offering best in class visibility and granting easy access thanks to its sliding door that along with the size made it insanely easy to park. The platform was once again a variant of the C.V.P.
but the speed was limited to 50km/h to increase range and make it fit in the UQV category (the same as the quadricycle category in Europe) making it drivable from 14 years old and with less stringent safety requirements.
The vehicle went on sale with the same schemes as its rival but Giat also offered a regular list price of 4000G which turned out to be more unpopular buying method since people could just add another 1k to the budget and get a much bigger and more practical B0X1NA.
The Mono, named like this for its single seat, went on to be a success among city drivers even getting a cargo version for delivery services, but it never surpassed the CT.
