Would you not rather push that little further and get an actual F40, even if this will more than likely be the quicker and dynamically better car.

Looks great, my understanding is that it will be priced between 75-100k. Out of my range but still keeping the super car beating performance of cars twice its price...

I don't see Lee wanting to be interviewed.

Also 180k is not one the factory have been indicating to potentional owners.

Where are you getting this info? It all sounds very dubious.

The interview was the biggest load of tripe ever.


Is the M600 the new name for the M15? From the photo it looks broadly similar, just with a spoiler added.

Although in the picture the car is disguised, looking at the body shape it looks very generic and boring sports car styling, nothing new and exciting

what about 40,000 pounds with production moved outside of the uk?
Weren't the M12 bodies made in Poland or wherever? Nothing wrong with that if it keeps the price down and they still turn out a quality product. What happened to the M12/400 anyway? You hear nothing of it these days. Cracking, cracking cars.

Edited by juansolo on Wednesday 14th May 18:08
The M400 bodies were made in South Africa. They don't make the M12/M400 anymore, but they do provide service and parts to existing owners.

As a former M400 owner, the new car looks very interesting and a sound evolution from the old cars.... BUT..... it will have to be sub £100k to attract me back to the fold and persuade M12/M400 owners to stay with the marque.

All IMHO of course...

What happened to the M12 M400 ! its been reported that Dyson sold it to some of his Yank mates its now called a rosson or similar. shame ! lets hope this new MD chap is better at this than he was as a race driver his F3 career O wins O poles O fastest laps but nice hair do, never mind perhaps his team in leicester or kent wherever it ends up can build him a car to do the job or perhaps not. still as long as he keeps doing whatever he does for his mate Dyson he will be alrigh maybee

A while back i think it was Mentioned on the Noble Forums that Noble is making a street car M15 (M16?) and then a more race focused car like the M400 but called the M600. It's been a while since then though. Hopefully the street vehical IF it's still slated for production will fall more into the 75-100 k bracket.

They were bought by the us distributer for Noble, 1g Racing. Dan Rossion was the head dealer and also Sold Superformace kit cars which were made in the same factory as the Noble.
