It's a mad looking thing..... Pretty it isn't, but I'm sure it'll be a very impressive car on the track..

Its got a wierd and "blocky" stance.

It needs to have a wider stance and more curvy at the front. Other than that, from the front door backwards it looks okay.

If this was £150,000 then maybe. It looks like a freaking weapon minus the choice of Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tyres....

But at £400,000 I just don't know. How many cars have Noble sold of their M600? 20 o 30 since 2011?

Good God. I keep scrolling back to look at it again. It's like a mouth ulcer that you find with your tongue - you have to keep prodding it despite knowing it will hurt. It's so wilfully ugly. Like the kind of car Will.I.Am would commission from West Coast Customs just to upset people who thought his first car was laughable. Never has the phrase "KILL IT WITH FIRE" been more appropriate.

There have been some pretty Ginettas. This isn't one of them. It'll need to be good at that price too.

'....there's a gap in the market at the 400k price point........ soooo let's build a car and charge 400k for it......'

I think it has a functional beauty. That said I think it would be immeasurably improved by removing the rear wing.

I had quietly high hopes. The G55 is a great looking car and I'd heard this had similar lines.....

Well I suppose it's a long bonneted, cab back sort of design in a broadly similar manner.

Good lord it's ugly. You can't even say it looks menacing or purposeful, it is just plain hideous. hurl

£400k! You could buy an LMP3 car from Ginetta for half that much, alright you couldnt drive it to the shops; but at least then the villagers wouldn't chase you out of town with lit torches and pitchforks.

How on earth is that front going to pass regulations for pedestrian impact?

Also, the side window treatment looks like the mould sagged.

Fair play to them, it should be a blast to drive. I am sure there are enough buyers, at the end of the day £400K is not a lot of money for some, especially compared to the latest boat or helicopter to add to the collection.

I wish them all the best and will be very interested to see how this car performs. It's so easy to knock everything, but these low volume manufacturers often are able to innovate in a way that a huge corporation cannot.
