My current "Lottery car" is the Noble M12, though I prefer it sans "ricer" wing.
..."it posted supercar numbers at the track: The quarter-mile happened in 11.8 seconds at 118 mph, and it pulled an even 1.00 g on the skidpad. The $448,000 Porsche Carrera GT does the quarter in 11.2 seconds at 132 mph. Bear in mind that skirting crash and emissions regulations makes it easier to keep a car light. The Noble weighs only 2457 pounds, 689 less than the carbon-fiber Carrera GT." Noble M12 GTO-3R Vehicle type: mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive, 2-passenger, 2-door coupe Price as tested: $76,400 (base price*: $76,400) Engine type: twin-turbocharged and intercooled DOHC 24-valve V-6, aluminum block and heads, port fuel injection Displacement 181 cu in, 2967cc Power (SAE net) 360 bhp @ 6200 rpm Torque (SAE net) 358 lb-ft @ 3500 rpm -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Transmission 6-speed manual Wheelbase 96.0 in Length/width/height 161.0/74.2/45.0 in Curb weight 2457 lb -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Zero to 60 mph 3.3 sec Zero to 100 mph 8.1 sec Zero to 150 mph 26.6 sec Street start, 5–60 mph 3.9 sec Standing 1/4-mile 11.8 sec @ 118 mph Braking, 70–0 mph 167 ft Roadholding, 300-ft-dia skidpad 1.00 g *Base price includes all performance-enhancing options.

They are wonderful cars.
I'm in agreement about the ricer look of the wing. However, the guys that designed that car are minimalist engineers like Lotus. You will find the car does not work well without it. It's for real rather than for style. They could restyle it to look less ricer though if they got down to it. Joe
