Of course, it's not a Pontiac GTO. It's a Noble M12 GTO-3R. Check it out:

It uses a twin-turbo version of the 3.0L Duratec making 360HP/358lb-ft (according to Car & Driver) and does 0-60 in 3.3! The 1/4 goes by 11.8. All for a measley $76K.

Fast, but looks like a kit car to me. And $76,000 seems really, really steep.

Hey, it's British. It's supposed to look like a kit car! Actually it's built in South Africa but Noble is located in England. Car & Driver gave it a great review. They said it gives Ford GT or Porsche Carrera GT-like peformance for a fraction of the cost of either.
NOTE: To any of our British friends on this forum, I'm just kidding!
I'm people, and I like.
