A noble M12 GTO-3R 352bhp will wipe out all boxsters all Caymans and most 911 for £50k in the UK.

OK, well that's still $95,000 USD, and is more than the price of a 911 S in the states.

We'd all like to have rocket performance with all the bells and whistles, for a low price... sadly that's not economically feasible.

Your original question was when will Porsche provide yada yada yada at $45,600. The obvious response is, when it is economically feasible. The example you're citing doesn't support your contention that other companies are providing such cars.

The noble M12 uses a turbo-charged Ford engine and has no long-term reliability history, nor is it considered a daily-driver, unlike most Porsches. The car is also lacking a concertina folding roof that folds like a pack of cards and a naturally aspirated 4ltr flat six.

In short, what's your point?
