Saw this from a youtuber I follow.
Thought yall would like to see it. Mostly for the engine which is used.

 

[jaged]

wow, thats rough. ive seen one of these in person at a car show long ago. It was funny because no one else knew what it was at the time.

 

[1999mercv6]

I've never seen a noble but have seen a rossion q1 which is based off this car

 

[Beans]

Earlier models came with 2.5L as well...

 

[1999mercv6]

I thought the 3r trim was only the 3 liter. The regular m12 gto was 2.5 and the earlier m400

 

[NakaiCougarV6]

Wow, I never heard of the Noble M12 GTO until now. That's so cool that the early model is powered by the same 2.5L Cougar/Mondeo engine or even the 3.0 L. The Noble M12 is now my favorite affordable supercar. Just image having one parked next to a Cougar!

I love how Freddy kept talking about how it was “FROM THE MONDEO” so matter-of-factly. Don’t let anyone know it was from a Taurus…

 

[JScullin]

Well, he did buy it from the UK so acktchualllyy.....he's right. Next ep when he has to source a new motor for parts we'll learn that mom's Taurus wagon is really a Noble underneath...minus all the forged and turbo bits.

On the Topic of Automotive YouTube..... does anyone here watch RegularCarReviews?
And if so why hasn't anyone offered their Cougar for a Video? Because I always wondered how the Video would go down

I would do it but I am not really able to ship my car from Europe to the US just for that....

As far as automotive YouTube goes - yes I do subscribe to Regular Car Reviews. I doubt having a Cougar on his channel would generate much of any engagement, which is probably why it's never happened.

Why shouldn't it?
Considering they have done from Supercars to the most boring or bad daily drivers. From known by everyone to known by no one.
I think its mostly because no one submitted any Cougar yet....

 

[mmc757]

Because there's like six of us that care about these cars?
Also because its been dead for 20 years with zero anticipation of ever returning.

 

[JScullin]

I've submitted mine to a few and the only one to respond (timely) was ThatDudeInBlue who does want to review it, but that now requires me to get down to Georgia. If I can plan it around doing a Dustball Rally GT down there it could work.

Just gotta time it between break downs.

 

[B3NN3TT]

He's a big Ford guy, isn't he? That would make sense. I've seen him do an SVT Contour before.

 

[JScullin]

He's a fan of all it seems. He's had Nemesis on for his Ranger and Mustang.

 

[1999mercv6]

I've seen him do the turbo contour one which was pretty cool to see.
