The June 2004 issue of Automobile magazine tests nine sports cars including the Noble M12 GTO-3R at Barber Motorsports Track, which is a fairly twisty track here in the USA (track map). Mason at puresportscar.com provides a full transcript of the article.


The GTO-3R performs spectacularly well at Barber, only 0.3 seconds per lap behind the Superlight R but ahead of the 360CS, 911 GT3, Viper, Elise, Evo RS, S2000, and Neon SRT-4 (in lap time order). Interesting to see that only the Caterham and Noble provide performance well in excess of their price.

Is it just me or does 4.7secs for the Stradale to 60 sound a tad slow???

Good result for the Noble though
