Noble M12 GTO-3R review

Noble M12 3R

Test date 28 October 2003  Price as tested £49,950

We suspected all along that the Noble M12 GTO would be a bit special. Ever since an awkward-looking red sports car called the M10 arrived at Autocar’s offices and ran rings around a Lotus Elise, Noble has been a name to watch out for. But bulldog-chewing-a-wasp looks scuppered any hope of sales success and the M10 scurried back to Leicestershire never to be seen again. Some drawing board time for Mr Noble then, the results of which fell through the letterbox a year later. It was silver, called the M12 GTO and it looked rather better than good. GTO became GTO-3 earlier this year when problems sourcing the original M12’s 2.5-litre engine from Ford forced a switch to the same company’s 3.0-litre V6.
