This is the link to the car with the twin turbo 2.5 Duratec. http://www.williamsautomobiles.com/lotus/noble.htm I would figure that there would be more hp than 310, but hey that is still a nice bit of power. 
Never give up on yourself!

If you only get 310 from that, it's a laughing stock.
Think about this... There is a company that can push 200hp out of a Zetec SAFELY local to me.... THen you drop a turbo on it to knock at least 300 if not Terry's kit to hit 325hp.
So therefore the twin turbo Duratec should hit higher... I mean stop me if im wrong, but It should be higher than 310... maybe thats just super down-tuned?
I like Tacos...

Old, very old news. It now uses the 3L Duratec. There was actually one at 12 Hours of Sebring...sic!
If you want more than pictures, search on Kazaa for the Top Gear test video.

It's really not too expensive as far as good sports cars go. And 310hp for a daily driver that is warrantied,etc. compared to the power of many other british cars isn't too bad. And the car is pretty light as well.

and as for HP, i remember reading something about duratecs (the 2.5L) not putting out as much power with a twin turbo as they do with a single...IIRC.
