"Yes, they are Gerrett turbochargers. It's really quite a ""sleeper"" company. Only small-quantity manufacturers use Garrett; most sales are private. I've seen them in use on a Boxter, and the guy really liked them. He also said the company is good about giving out smog info when you purchase. Good call Noble! You do make one of the best sports cars out there." |

The Noble M12 GTOIII has just become available in the states. It now features a newly designed body, including more ergonomic headlights, new wheel anf tire package, and different tail-lights. The new car also has an addition 60hp according to the boys at 1G racing, (the exclusive importer of the car). Find some new pictures, the car looks great and is even faster. Matter of fact, its lap times were signifactly faster than the Mercilago, and it did it in the rain while the Merci. did it on dry pavement. |

"This car is amazing. Light weight, great looks, great engine, very very very fast. And although the interior is not what you'd expect to see in a Mercedes it has got Air-conditioning, and a good sound system, race seats which ""hug"" the driver and a great driving position. Also in answer to your question the Engine they use in the Noble M12 GTO...and no I'm not kidding...is the V6 engine from the Ford Mondeo! Noble have just tweaked it a little...and added twin turbochargers! Jeremy Clarkson descibed the sound of the turbos like ""Two darth varder's screaming at eachother!"" Now that is one hell of an engine! Once again British Engineering shows the world the way forward. And that is a light, strong chassis, aerodynamic bodywork, a powerful (But not stupidly huge) engine, solid suspenstion and good brakes. And all round Quality car. Well done Noble!" |

The reason why this car does not have a lavish, expspensive interior is because this is primarily designed as a track day car, which would put it through a lot of wear and tare. However people said that this should not be used on the road, that is very un-true this car is good on the road, and can only become unbearable over long distanced if not wearing ear-plugs. Also this model, the M12 GTO (not to be mistaken with the GTO-3 or GTO-R) uses a 2.5 litre ford duratec V6 and two turbos (from memory, garret tubos though i mght be mistaken.) This is an amazing car. |

This car is truely fantastic to drive. However, it should be left on the race track. A friend of mine has such a car purely for the track, and when I asked to drive it off the circuit he readily agreed. To my surprise it was horrible...I did drive the car on the track and it is another off it. Marvelous track day car! |
| nice car |

I hear it zooms like anything, goes around track corners like a dream and is just basically heaven on earth to drive... however, i hear it also has a turning circle much worse than a vauxhall vectra lol... |
| More expensive please |

Small car producers always struggle to compete against established makes, and while this car deserves success I feel a two areas need looking at to compete in the 40K price bracket - Paint finish & general interior design. This will increase list price, but would elevate this car to the status it deserves while creating a greater customer base! |

Having recently returned from a corporate trackday at Brands Hatch (UK), I am still in awe of this fascinating car! Throughout the day I raced an Audi TT, a 355 and a Lamborghini Diablo but none of these came close, not even the Diablo, to the M12 for pure XXX driving pleasure! The levels of grip and acceleration are simply amazing and as soon as I get my �40K together (perhaps by 2025), i'll definately have my name down for one! |
