    Heh........they were able to get the super rare Lexus, but for some reason, the 620 HP lightweight Porsche 997 GT2 RS was conspicuous by it's absence......... :D

    I guess Noble was paying the bill for that episode ;)

    Neat video........thanks !!

    What a ridiculous launch by the Turbo S!

    IMO the Lexus has been a let down in straightline acceleration, especially given the cost of entry. Obv track #'s may differ. I really want to see a complete test comparo vs the 458 and the upcoming Mclaren.

    If the turbo S accelerates like that, the 997 GT2 RS would be even more violent.... Scary!

    no, it's a actually 'slower' off the line, and to 60mph. the Turbo S' combo of 4wd grip and PDK makes it ridiculously quick from a standing start..

    right, I think P claims something like 0.2s slower to 60 for the gt2rs. Def faster in the 1/4 tho

    What's up with the puff of black smoke just as the Porsche crosses the finish line in the final match-up?

    [edit: Never mind. Watched the slow-mo again and it's an out-of-focus insect flying in the foreground.]

    They should have done this race with the GT-R Spec V, that would have been closer to the Turbo S than the standard car. I love the Noble!! But all the cars are brilliant for different reasons.

    Isn't the spec V just like 15 extra hp and carbon brakes? its going to need a bit more than that.

    That car is fat.

    its true... That car flat out gets it!


    I am very impressed by the Turbo S. Ill take mine in Riveria/French/Mexico/Smurf/Skittle Blue... or speed yellow... I will never forget falling in love with the 911 for the first time with the Speed Yellow 911 featured in Motor Trends Long term test.... Then I saw the blue one on the different color advertisement... remember the one with the lipsticks?

    Loved it.
