As editor of KIT CAR, I have been espousing the need for kit cars, component cars, and specialty cars to pay attention to their interiors, as the exteriors are already honed to perfection. Well, the Noble has exceeded my expectations with a factory-finished interior that is 21st century and beyond. Interior equipment includes a MOMO Tornado three-spoke steering wheel, full sweet, sensuous suede Alcantara and leather trim, fore and aft seat adjustment, reach-adjustable steering column, turbo-boost gauge, courtesy lights, internally adjustable door mirrors, remote-control Sony CD tuner with rotating radio/CD sound system and detachable active black control panel, 2x3-way door speakers and roof aerial, engine start button, fitted map pockets, and extra soundproofing...and luxurious is the only way to describe it. Interior options include air conditioning, tailored luggage bags (set of six), 10-disc CD autochanger, tailored car cover, and alarm/immobilizer.
On the road, this car has tested out superbly. The car can out-corner a Lotus Elise and out-accelerate a McLaren F1. The car is road sticky and smooth handling, and its and Lee Nobel's racing background certainly are envisioned and experienced when you are behind the wheel of this street-legal and track-worthy supercar.
The Noble M12 GTO-3R may have a long name, and it may be a component car that you can finish by ONLY adding an engine and transaxle, but it can only be described by one word: SUPERCAR.
