John's Noble M12 - Performance

If graphs and data are not your thing - have a look here at
a lady BBC reporter's reaction to a ride in a tuned Noble

These performance videos also put into motion
and demonstrate the stats in these graphs....

Here's the power graph from Noble Motorsport 
after my engine tuning was completed 
478 bhp at the wheels 

 Compare with the Car & Driver track test 
of an M400 with 425 bhp below.....

The M400 is the track variant of the M12 and weighs the same as the GTO3R. It has 425 bhp (317 kW) and has been reported to do 0-60 mph (0-97 km/h) in as little as 2.97 seconds. Car and Driver (March, 2007) achieved a 0-60 mph time of 3.3 seconds and a 0-100 mph time of 7.8 seconds. (click the image left for the test sheet). It's top speed is listed as 185 mph (298 km/h), Lateral Gs are reported in excess of 1.4

The model designation M400 is derived from the fact that the power and weight specifications for the car correspond to 405 bhp (298 kW) per tonne.

The car's pedigree was undoubted - Damon Hill bought one after proving that no Lamborghini could match it on any circuit

This graphic from a test done by AutoCar (here's the full article) is truly a stark indication of how far ahead  of the competition the M400 performance is.... There is a lap time table in the article showing the Ferrari F430, Ford GT, Porsche 911 Carrera S et al languishing around 4 secs or more behind the Noble - but the picture is clear here... this equates to roughly half the start/finish straight at Rockingham
