Noble M12 GTC

Convertible Noble unveiled at NEC


Noble's other big news at the motor show was the launch of the convertible. The GTC's V6 engine has a single turbo and a relocated intercooler, reducing power to 295bhp but allowing the creation of a small (90 litre) boot at the rear.

The roof mechanism consists of a removable hoop placed behind the seats into which two targa panels are located. When the panels are removed they can then be stored behind the seats. No storage is available for the hoop though so if you choose to whip that off too then you'll need to leave it at home.

The GTC should prove a popular entry level model for Noble. Priced at £44,950 it dips in below the M12 GTO3. Options are limited with air conditioning, a track day sump and metallic paint.

Yeah,
And then the price plummets and you have no money for the tax. It happens. Be careful.

Ah these aren't from my 6 zero's project. These are from the large multi that I used to work for that offered a very very good share scheme (think 1/4 of market value, 3 year opt out).

Single turbo also equals less weight . TBH I doubt the single turbo would hold me back much, what do I need a boot for
