Noble M12 GTO-3R

The Noble M12 GTO-3R reaches 60 mph in 3.31 s (100 km/h in 3.96 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 12.03 s, tripping the lights at 111.5 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 1.63 s and the eighth mile in 7.64 s, reaching 100 mph in 9.28 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the M12 GTO-3R

The 2005 Noble M12 GTO-3R is a rear-drive turbocharged muscle car of 1,080 kg with 351 bhp, which works out at 325 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 325 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 1.63 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 483rd quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest five per cent, and the 3rd quickest of the 5 Nobles here. Its 111.5 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 9 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Noble M12 GTO-3R 0-60 time?
The Noble M12 GTO-3R reaches 60 mph in 3.31 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 483rd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Noble M12 GTO-3R quarter mile time?
12.03 s at 111.5 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 7.64 s and clears the first 60 ft in 1.63 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Noble M12 GTO-3R have?
351 bhp and 1,080 kg, which is 325 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, turbocharged, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 276 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Noble M12 GTO-3R?
Closest here on pace: Porsche 959 (3.35 s), Lotus Exige Cup 380 Mk III (3.38 s), Bristol Bullet 4.8 V8 370 (3.37 s). Each one can be raced against the Noble M12 GTO-3R in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Noble M12 GTO-3R is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 10 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
