Im going to go with 1.18.5

[Rollcage]

1:17.7 for me.

[arabian]

1.19.1 i reckon, cant see it would outdo the 4wd lambo. Hope i am wrong and the marque puts some of the bigger boys in their place.

[TuxMan]

alot depends on the track conditions but the Ultima did it in 1min 9.9 ........and i would like to think the Noble would be as quick !!! but if its a bit colder ...mybee 1min 12 !!!

[Stig]

I reckon 1:20+ is more like it.

[snuffy]

Unless you own one it hardly matters.

Would have to be very cold or a bit damp for that. In EVO mag they said it was definately quicker than the Lambo they had alongside it. Hmmm...1:18 me thinks, but it really has the potential to go top. I think 1:12 is VERY optimistic Tuxman!

But was it when they tested it ???

[mrdemon]

low 1.19

[nigelw]

anyone know if it was wet when they set the time ?

[arabian]

just watched a few bits on you tube of the M600 road tests. I'm going to spread my bets. damp 1.19.1, dry 1.17.0.

cant say fairer than that.

[daddysumo]

I better not enter this as my mate was at Top Gear yesterday for the filming and the M600 was the car they tested !!

Oh and it was Dry if that helps the predictions...

[nigelw]

1:18.2 ..... I think it will be fast , but still not keen on the looks (or the price! ) ....so wanted to be ! ....

[NickyTwoHats]

Either side of the Koennigsseeeeeggggggg

[the stig]

If THE ULTIMA can do it in 1.9.9 the noble must be in for a good shout ......similar power to weight ratio ......same basis design .....only major difference is the track conditions !!! if its dry and they can get some heat into the tyres and with nice cold combustion air its got to get close !!! after all its a 200k car ......
