  1. <Noble M500 Supercar Packs EcoBoost V6 With a Gated Manual and No Airbags Don't count on anti-lock brakes to save you, either. Boutique British automaker Noble has reappeared with a fresh look at its long-coming supercar, the M500. Marketed as a slightly more tame version of its M600, the mid-engine sports coupe was first announced at Goodwood in 2018. When the hype faded, the world kind of forgot about the M500...until now. Recently, Noble broke its silence during a sitdown with Autocar. Noble’s Managing Director Peter Boutwood revealed how far the company has come in finalizing the M500, and how close the brand is in bringing the low-volume exotic to market. VIA NOBLE Just like its more powerful (and expensive) M600 brethren, the M500 is a two-seater, mid-engine sports coupe built to satisfy the person in the driver's seat—which is a Recaro Podium, by the way. The heart of the car is its 3.5-liter, twin-turbocharged V6 sourced from Ford; a definite departure from the M600's Volvo-bred V8. Presently, the Blue Oval's EcoBoost motor has been tweaked to produce 506 horsepower and 594 pound-feet of torque. Noble plans to up that figure to 550 hp at launch. Another change—arguably, for the better—is the lack of the originally promised dual-clutch automatic transmission in the M500. Instead, it will come with a proper gated six-speed manual transmission sourced from Graziano. No automatic option will be offered, period. Autocar warns that this means it likely won't have the straight-line acceleration figures of a supercar competitor with an automatic transmission, so don't bet on this against a McLaren 570S. Even still, it ought to be plenty fun to drive. Just about everything on the M500 is as mechanical as it can get. Each corner is supported by a double-wishbone suspension and coilover springs paired with passive dampers. Power steering is hydraulic to keep the driver connected to the road, and it doesn't even have anti-lock brakes or airbags. Noble elaborates that this M500 is a "working prototype" and as such, some things are still set to change. The rear wing might get a bit more angle once it completes high-speed testing, and it may fluctuate in poundage like a wrestler trying to make weight. The M500 prototype presently tips the scale at around 3,086 pounds (1,400kg), but its production-ready version could reportedly shave off another 330 pounds. Noble says it will also offer the M500 with some carbon fiber upgrades, meaning that the weight could dip down even further. VIA NOBLE Noble says that despite not having an MSRP set in stone, the first customer orders—and subsequently, deliveries—will begin later this year. Boutwood says that the company is aiming for a price of around $205,000 (150,000 British Pounds, or around $70,000 less than the Noble M600), which it hopes puts the car in the realm of purchase for Porsche owners. With a less labor-intensive build and (relatively) more affordable price, Nobel hopes to pump out around 50 examples of the M500 each year. However, the chance of any making their way to the United States seems slim for now.>
  2. Saw it on Portdown turning on to AYE. Couldn't figure out what car it was, so took note of the license plate. Checked and it turned out to be an M400. I think is one and only in Singapore?

  6. http://www.supercars.net/PicFetch?pic=2002_noble_m12_gto-1.jpg http://www.supercars.net/PicFetch?pic=2002_noble_m12_gto-2.jpg http://www.supercars.net/PicFetch?pic=2002_noble_m12_gto-3.jpg After launching the M12 GTO to much acclaim, Noble has upgraded their car for 2002. The new GTO-3, features a three-liter engine producing thirty more horsepower over the 2000 model. Apart from the engine, much of the mechanics remain the same as previous versions. Lee Noble is the founder of Noble Moy Automotive. He has gained experince in projects which include the McLaren F1, Ultima Can Am and Ascari Ecosse, making him widely respected in the automotive community. Using proven motor sport designs, the M12 is a race car built for the road. At it's base, the GTO has a transversely mounted Ford Duratec power plant housed within a space frame chassis. The engine is mildly turbocharged to effectively increase power with minimal lag. The body of the M12 GTC-3 is entirely made of composite materials. It features a large rear wing and front splitter to increase down force for and aft. This down force restricts the car to it's 165 mph top speed, but aids greatly in high speed handling. Where the M12 GTO wins is it's power to weight ratio. Weighting almost 700lbs lighter than our Enzo Ferrari, the M12 GTO makes greater use to its horsepower than almost any other car. Missing from the car is anything associated with luxury. It does not come with power windows, traction control or ABS. The costs associated with such non-refinement keep the car at a modest price. Hardly any other car on the market today can complete with the 48 000 pound price tag. In the upcoming year, Noble plan to release a race-ready model called the GTO-3T. It will be a no compromise track car including an FIA roll cage combined with a 400 horsepower engine. With this announcement, Noble are well on their way to prove the M12 GTO on the track.
