M600 Noble
Noble have comeback onto the scene nine years after its last project the M12. The British sportscar maker has targeted the Ferraris and Lamborghinis of this world.
The M600, a 650bhp, 225mph, £200,000 hypercar which takes the fledgling manufacturer deep into uncharted territory populated by some of the fastest and most focused models on the market, including the Ferrari 430 Scuderia and Lamborghini Murcielago LP640-4.
The new engine, a larger 4.4-litre Volvo V8 unit, again fitted with twin blowers to give the M600 a power to weight ratio of almost 600bhp per tonne.
Performance is expected to be on a par with the fastest road car in the world – 0-60mph in 3.0 seconds and 0-100mph in 6.5 seconds should be enough to show anything this side of a Bugatti Veyron a clean pair of heels.
For those that don’t fancy all-out attack mode, all of the time, a three-stage ECU lets you choose between 450, 550 or the full 650bhp output from the engine. And if you’re brave enough to ditch electronic assistance altogether, the toggle used is a missile launch switch from a Tornado fighter plane.
Deliveries of the M600 should start as early as November this year, while the car will make its public debut at the Goodwood revival on 19-21 September.
