The Noble M12 GTO-3R is a rare masterpiece on wheels, with only 165 units ever built. This is the last and most refined version of the M12, featuring a 3.0L V6 biturbo Ford Duratec engine that produces 352 hp and 475 Nm of torque. Thanks to its ultra-lightweight construction of just 1080 kg and a manual six-speed gearbox, this Noble accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.7 seconds. What makes this car even more special is its pure driving experience, with no ABS or traction control, allowing it to respond directly and uncompromisingly to every steering input.
This particular car was restored and improved between 2017 and 2019 by an aerospace engineer. A report, photo documentation, and invoices are available as proof. During the restoration, various components were addressed, including the fully adjustable Protech shock absorbers, a new floor, brakes, and clutch. The engine was overhauled, with new rear main seals, injectors, spark plugs, filters, and a stainless steel exhaust manifold. Additionally, innovative upgrades such as the blower box and tunnel cooling were added, now a popular enhancement among Noble owners.
The original paint has been mostly preserved, except for the nose, which was repainted due to stone chips. The silver-gray body combined with the lightweight black wheels and the striking rear spoiler gives the car an aggressive, purposeful look. Inside, the interior reflects the same sporty mentality. During the restoration, new carpeting and insulation were installed, contributing to improved driving comfort without losing the pure racing character. Every detail in the interior, from the ergonomic sport seats to the functional minimalist cockpit, is designed for maximum control and a direct connection with the road. Both the interior and paintwork show some signs of use.
