eBay Find: Noble M12GTO-3R Is A Sinister Sport Car With 352 HP

You could get it for as low as $61,800

Noble first made its presence felt in 2004 with the M400 sports car and in 2010 the M600 supercar. The M12. was there long before this vehicle was on our TV screens via BBC’s Top Gear.

The M12 was smaller and less powerful than the M400 or M600, but it debuted in 2000 with a 2.5-liter biturbo base engine. This produced 310 horsepower (231 Kilowatts) straight from the factory and was strong enough to move the 2,315-pound (1.050-kilogram), body.

A few years later, the company released a more powerful M12, the GTO-3R. The M12 was equipped with a 352-hp (262 kW) engine. It weighed in at 2,380lbs (1,080 kg). There were only a few made. One particularly terrifying example was recently listed for sale.

It’s expensive at $61,800. It’s certainly worth it. Under the hood, the same biturbo V6 produces the 352 horsepower that allows it to sprint to 60 mph (96 km/h) in just 3.5 seconds.

The exterior is truly sinister. The exterior is finished in jet black, covering almost every inch from the large rear wing to the aerodynamic front splitter. Both the wheels and interior are finished in black. Although rare, the cabin comes with sport bucket seats, a steering wheel and a manual six-speed gearbox. Only the rear wheels receive power.

The car has been on the road for more than 10 years and has only had two owners. According to the seller, the vehicle spent its entire life in a climate-controlled garage. The most recent owner spent over $1,000 on a ceramic coating application.

The original factory handbook, an alarm system and a differential with limited slip are included. This is a beautiful vehicle. It could even be yours if you are willing to pay the $60,000 asking fee.
