Thats the Noble M12. Its a european car but it can be bought as a kit car in the US. I believe they use a Ford duratech V6 with twin turbos.

I take that back. I think thats actually an M400 not a M12. They are pretty similar though. Same engine.

Had I not seen one before at a car show I would have no idea what Noble was. I saw an M12 and it looked very similar to the picture you posted so I thought thats what it was but a quick search of the interwebz made me realize its an M400. Would be a real cool car to have, especially after seeing that video. The one I saw in person had about 30 people around it and I couldnt get very close to check it out. Luckily it had a big sticker on the windshield that said "M12 GTO 3R" so I could tell what the dang thing was.
