MGB Home Page. Background to the MGB When the MGA had been announced in 1955, it had set new standards for MG in terms of performance and styling, but by the beginning of the 1960's it had become slightly out-dated. Sports car design had moved up a gear, particularly in terms of comfort and the prospective sports car buyer was demanding more sophistication than the MGA was able to deliver. For MG's sake, the replacement needed to offer better performance and a greater degree of comfort. History has now shown that the new car did have these features, for it was the venerable MGB, a car which was to sell over five times the numbers of MGA. Like the Austin-Healey Sprite and later the MG Midget, the MGB was to be of unitary construction which brought a number of advantages. The MGB was extremely well received by the press who were fulsome in their praise of the new car, which was capable of exceeding 100mph without any fuss.

Noble Automotive | Welcome to Noble. Car Lust: Car Lust--Noble M12 GTO-3R. It may not have much name recognition on this side of the pond, but the Noble M12 GTO-3R is one of the all-time great performance cars the world has ever seen. Like the Ariel Atom, the Noble is available in the United States under kit-car regulations if assembled here. But don't let the kit car designation fool you; this is no VW Bug that looks like a mashed Lamborghini, or a Pontiac Fiero made to look like a lumpy Ferrari. No, the Noble is a thoroughbred. The light, intricately designed mid-engined chassis and aggressively voluptuous body were designed specifically for the Noble, without intrinsic family car-based compromises.
The Ford Duratec V-6 started off as a family car plant with Ford Contour--not typically a great foundation for exotic performance. But, with the addition of two big turbochargers, and an output of 352 horsepower and 350 lb. ft. of torque, with less than 2,400 pounds to haul around, it holds its own. Below, the typically fantastic Top Gear review. --Chris H.
