M15R race version to come?!

[amg merc]

Just read the latest edition of the top-notch Winding Road from the US (sign-up at windingroad.com) on pages 191-200: "Exotica - Noble M15 Test Mule".

Quotes...

"The implication is clear: This car will wipe the floor with a Ferrari F430 or Lamborghini Gallardo on pure pace"

"Dynamically we know this car will destroy anything in its class, said Noble"

"The brutal acceleration doesn't let up until the dark side of 150mph"

Anyway a couple of things I didn't know...

WOWSTUFF:
"...Noble has big plans for this car. The gearbox can handle 650 horsepower in race trim so before too long we can expect to see the "M15R" roll off the production line at Hi-Tech..." This would make sense as the Noble has always said the M15 is not a track car.

NAFFSTUFF:
"The steering wheel and gear shifter come from the Ford Focus" hmmm

And are wonderfully tactile although not the best thing to look at, and more importantly, will pass US homologation tests.
