Well, you'd have to get a good part-exchange on your 200 to cover it...!

Nah ;)

Same bloke who did the Ultima GTR (Mr Ian Noble).

Its powered by (I believe) A cosworth twin Turbo block.

Hes previous cars are tastier though, my mates got a Ultima GTR with 455bhp, 165mph comes up in seconds (and its still going, loud and pulling hard ;) )

See www.ultimasports.co.uk (http://www.ultimasports.co.uk)

68000 Euros is about £40K.

There are .62 E's on a £.

or 1.6 E's to the pound.

Besides it's fooking disgusting.

Ultimate track day car thought the M12 ;)

or you could pick up an early Diablo for say £58,000 but an Ultima GTR would be cheaper and faster and better handling!

Sorta See your point, but the chassis is the more important thing about a trackday thrash to death mobile, and thats where the M12 wins....and whats wrong with looking like an Elise...well cool ;)

If your in the Preston Area and see something black that looks like a GT car, pulling over and letting as past is a good option, and we'll demonstraight a set of noisey pipes for ya, straight throughs where the complete system is around 3 feet long, conected to a 455 bhp chevy V8, (yes it burbles spits and pops on overrun :) ) and is borderline street usable :)

Develops just over 300BHP, Lee Noble gave a lecture (of sorts) for the IMechE at Cov Uni about a week ago, he mostly talked about the 'good old days' when he was making those Ferrari replicas and that other small kit car. He has done some cool stuff but Ascaris were his best effort I think. The M12 is made in South Africa and him and his team just put engine and gearbox in. Funniest thing was BMW tried to do him when he registerd the M12 name ! turns out they hadn't even registered M3 or M5 ! ! :D

Yuk! Looks like an Elise cheapo kit car to me? I think my £40k would go on a used Nismo kitted R34 v-spec.

Each to his own.......I would have the M12 over the R34 anyday.

Definetly! Although Nobel's Ultima would be the primary choice, but both would be quicker ;)
