Noble M600 on Fifth Gear - New Series

[Sbloxxy]

News series on Monday 24th February features Noble M600 vs Nissan GTR vs Porsche 911 GT3. In true Fifth Gear fashion, should be interesting but pointless.

Great, thanks for that.

It's gonna be interesting how they review it baring in mind it's circa 100-150K more than the other two cars.

Surprised they went for it to be honest, its no win for Noble, if they say its the best people dismiss it because its so far above the others in terms of price.
If it isnt the best then Noble will take a heck of a hit publicity wise.

Was deffo on the listing I have taped by using the search thingy on sky?

Well, the photo on the Sky Planner (internet one) shows the orange M600 sat between a 911 thingy and a GT-R.

[Hollowpockets]

yeh the sky tv app has the blurb as 911 turbo, gtr and M600. recorded! it will be tough for the M600 with those two. I fear the M600 may get a shoeing

I agree,and if they do acceleration tests I bloody hope they carry on over 150 mph otherwise there's not going to be much in that either, what with the other two having launch control and being capable of 7 secs ( or less) to 100mph!

Am I the only one who starts scratching when Johnny comes on screen?! And does he get dressed over at Stevie Wonder's place.

In the wet!!!

[andygtt]

In the wet it was a draw between all 3... Think the M600 did well there against the top 4wd cars around?

And the Porsche was only 40k cheaper so wasn't that far ahead cost wise lol

Why this choice of cars, and not Fiat458, Aventador or MP4-12C all a bit wrong, maybe the Nobel, Porker and big Datsun are all they could blag.

Probably a bit if that but I assume they wanted a cheaper car and a more expensive car (within reason) and they got to pick. TIFF didn't want electronic bits.

They have also tested the car before and Jason loved it so maybe that had something to do with it.

That reminds me, didn't Jason set a M600 Silverstone lap in the M600. Who's up for the challenge. Lol

Maybe someone who has twitter should send a link to Jason Plato, he pops into the BTCC tread every now and again for a discussion
