X23NVO? Granted it's a bit misrepresented (and there doesn't appear to be a front one, in line with current trends), but that could have been a legitimate 2000/2001 plate. No doubt someone will be along soon to verify.
X23NVO showing as pretty much the only X??NVO plate that is unavailable on RegTransfers site.Max_Torque said:
So it's basically a rubbish Noble M600 that costs 5 times as much?
Hmm, not gonna sell many of those.
(given that the actual M600 isn't exactly flying out the door at only a bit above £250k......)
You could argue that the Noble doesn't cost enough. Pagani and Koenigsegg managed to make a £1m car work (since then cost a lot more). I also guess Mclaren took most of their sales.Hmm, not gonna sell many of those.

Is peak torque at 7700rpm even possible?
The fact it makes peak torque at peak power rpm suggest the engine is centrifugally supercharged. With that boosting arrangement, boost pressure increases with the square of rpm, therefore, yes, it is possible, although not generally producing a terribly nice drive feel, to have peak torque and peak power at the same engine speed.incidentally, 811 lb.ft at 7700rpm is 1189 bhp, and not the 1180 bhp claimed, so some rounding of numbers has gone on with their claimed figures.
I have driven this very car and also the M600 that the same dealership sells (custard not to hand etc.) . I really liked it. These cars are aimed at people who already have all or most of the usual suspects such as a 918 or and a P1, and who want something very special, and very rare. They are only planning on making 15 of this model, and I think there are surely 15 people who would do so. In terms of the car, it has a very good finish and of course huge performance. It has a long wheelbase and a low centre of gravity. No rattles or other low-volume type problems. It has a lift system meaning that it can get up the ramp of a multi-storey car park, or into a ferry. The engine is a really nice V8. In my opinion, it's rather better than this review makes out. I think that pretty much everyone on PH would find it an entertaining car.
