Noble M12


A small company that is literally made in a little warehouse in England that began in a little garage in the late 90’s could not dream of the success they were about to achieve. After taking a Ford Mondeo engine and performing some modifications and adding a big twin turbo system they happened to create not only a fast car, but one of the best handling cars out there. Many journalists are just shocked with how well this car handles and rides they find it hard to believe where the M12 came from, and not from a mass produced factory that has millions of dollars at its disposal for research and development. The twin turbo charged engine now produces 425hp that goes from zero to fast in 3.5 seconds and on wards to 175mph. Keeping the power to weight ratio high seemed to not be much of a challenge at they managed to get away with using cheap light-weight materials like plastic and managed to keep the car down to only 1060 kilos. It is not a bad looking piece of machinery either despite the fact that Noble bought a lot of equipment such as the steering wheels and engines from bigger companies such as Ford once they were done with them. A great car for not only a small company but a major producer too. The updated Noble is on its way and is promised to of not left anything that made the M12 a hit but added to the experience too, and I hope they are telling the truth.
