Noble M12 GTO

There are only two words to describe this car: Abso-bloody-lutely incredible.

Like the elise, this car was designed around the chassis and weight issues and then made workable by adding a suitable engine. 0-60 in 3.5 and some of the highest marks from reporters like Tiff Needell. Basically, this is a high end track car for $82K and 350 hp. My question is why do people revel in cars like the Zonda or CC8S when they're beaten by this car. Yes I can see why the Enzo and C-GT have the companies behind them but still, common, this car is incredible.

Also, has anyone tried to do an engine swap on this car since it can be bought sans engine and tranny? If so, what were the results. Because it seems to me that putting even 30k into this car would make it almost unrivaled.

I live down the street from the place where all of the engines and tranny's and installed in the US Nobles. They are gorgeous. So far, the installer has only put the OEM motor and tranny in the US versions.

You may not have discussed this with him but does he know of any other good canidates so fill that engine bay?

BTW: I'm not looking to buy an noble, just interested if this car could be made even better.

Amazing car I will buy that car!!

That car is the most amazing value I've ever seen :eek:. Perfectly balanced 320 hp 320 torque 2144 pound!! absolutly amazing!!!!! And for just over 50,000 usd F*&k a mercedes or bmw M3 Noble m12 is where its @ and amazing looks + driver friendly from wht Ive heard!!!

Yeah, it got the two thumbs up from Tiff. That's good enough for me.

i sent an e-mail to 1g racing (the us dealer) and they sent me an information packet on the noble m12 gto... the car is absolutely amazing. you can buy the rolling chassis totally complete minus drivetrain for 51k... i figured for around 70k you could have a car that would rival almost any exotic.

i have the top gear video on my site.

Amazing pics! :1:

Truly an amazing vehicle! Completely balanced in every aspect. I have two question though:

1. Is the vehicle legal in the US for road use or only for track use?

2. And what is the most powerful engine they have tested with this car? Is it the V6 Twin Turbo Ford engine?

Yes it is road legal was well. might have a tough time with the speed bumbs though and the U turns too.

Wow!!!!!!!! It is US road legal, that is amazing!!!

Now which transmission do they use for the M12?

Pretty sure its a ford racing 5 speed but not 100% but most is ford mondeo parts. prices start @ 55k for a noble in the U.S u can order one jus buy lookin in the back of car and driver theres a company that advertises there.

www.1gracing.com is the us dealer's website. also www.horsepowerhouse.com is the local shop here that is an installer for the engine and tranny. i'm sure you can give them a shout and they could give you all the info.

i e-mailed 1gracing and they sent me a really cool packet with pictures, specs and a video.
