    A friend stopped by the house the other day with a suprise. He just had a Noble M12 delivered. Took about two months to make the arrangements. Guess there are only about 6 or 7 Nobles in the state. He got the 400hp edition. Suprisingly, there is more room in the cockpit than one would think. Last year, he and I were checking out possibilities with used Gallardos (his primary favorite) when he came across some Noble info. He decided to pursue it and here is the result.

    Very neat.
    Im sure it will have more usable performance than a Gallardo and be more practical.
    Looks like lots of room back there for a suitcase sized intercooler :)

    Very badass car! Noble's are slowly increasing in popularity here in the states.

    I drove one extensively. You have to be very careful, that car is deceptively fast. So different from the Elise. I would either loose my license or kill myself (whichever comes first).

    I wouldn't go to say that it is more practical then a Gallardo, but it is beats in the fun category. Why didn't your friend get the M400 wheels on it also, instead of the 3R? Those are a sweet car!

    The vehicle is used. Chassis number is probably one of the lower ones (door handles aren't painted). M400 wheels aren't that common on M12 GTO-3R's.

    There were lots of changes in the chassis #45+ or so.

    Who did the engine/drivetrain install, Bcube? There can be big differences from one to another.
