About our kart brands

Kosmic LogoThe parent company of Kosmic Racing Kart - Tony Kart - was founded in 1958. In 1983, with the entry of new management, a radical change took place within the company. Thanks to new investments in research and production cycles the image has been continually reinforced, rapidly coming into the limelight of the World Karting scenery. The assistance of specialized personnel and the automation of its production have led to an improved product and both functionally and aesthetically.

In order to be able to produce a high quality chassis with a cutting edge and competitive characteristics, Kosmic Kart dedicates enormous care and time to the study of new solutions and to research into the latest technology available in the world. It is avant-garde approach from the design and technological points of view, which represent the essence and characteristic of Kosmic Racing Kart - perfectly in line with the conception of a modern company, where every decision is backed by a careful marketing study.

Robotically welded chassis and components enable Kosmic Racing Kart to have the perfect marriage of quality and reliability. Unlike many other karting manufactures, Kosmic Racing Karts can withstand several seasons of constant demands, thus giving the ‘club’ competitor an overall advantage. CNC machining centres are spread throughout the impressive factory based in Prevalle, Italy, giving added control and precision to enable components produced of both magnesium and aluminum to be manufactured.

An entire department dedicated to engineering and full development of the product line is also in place at Kosmic Racing Kart. With a full time engineering department, consistency and quality are maintained throughout every part and process. This type of dedication is what sets Kosmic Racing Kart ahead from the rest.

Monaco logoThe Monaco GP range of karts first hit the market in 1993 when Remo Luciani designed and commissioned the manufacture of his own kart the 'Monaco'. The multiple Australian Champion wanted to capitalise on his name and reputation in the sport, and has achieved remarkable success in doing so over the years. The original Monaco GP was black, the GP2 red, the GP3 a spectacular clear coated blue and the GP4, GP5 and new GP6 models are a 'Subaru blue'.

The current Monaco karts are the latest in a long line of winners. Monaco GP karts have won a great many State and National Titles, and continue Monaco's racewinning heritage...

All Monaco karts are manufactured from the finest grade materials, utilising the latest in design and manufacturing processes. Features available include anodised billet alloy hubs and carriers, along with magnesium or machined alloy wheels. Handling options are enhanced by removable and adjustable torsion bars*, as well as full camber/caster adjustment* and your choice of axle*. Braking is handled by a radially vented brake disc* and adjustable anodised alloy master cylinder*, and includes the exclusive Lucky Design body sticker kit with the latest style KG body work which was tested in an F1 wind tunnel. Monaco karts are tested and raced by 6-times Australian Champion and 48-times State champion Remo Luciani. (*not all features are available on all models - see specific model details)
