What is happening at Noble?

[ryallm]

I am a bit of an interloper on this forum being an Exige owner myself, but as a general enthusiast of British sports cars I am curious to know what on earth is going on at Noble. I would hate to see them go the same way as TVR. Their website just says they are continuing work on the M15, but no release date is given. How do they carry on financially with no new cars being sold? What are the realistic chances of Noble cars ever being produced again? Is the M15, or whatever the new model will be called, still going to be aimed at the £75k area of the market, or pitched more in £50k territory like the M12? Personally I think Noble would be very brave to take on the 911 and Audi R8 head on on price.

Apologies if all the above has already been done to death in earlier threads, but I really am curious.

Well that sounds promising, thanks for the info. With any luck that means there should be 2 new British mid engined supercars to look forward to in the next couple of years, the other being the Lotus Esprit. The latter is rumoured to have a BMW V8, posssible even the V10 from the M5 - any idea what engine Noble have got lined up for the M15?
