If this is the best new British car....

Then I have a feeling the new Noble will be in a different league.



So wrong, so very very wrong IMHO.

Looks like butterfly doors, side vents way OTT and rear is really odd.
Kinda like the front though (maybe a bit too Fezza).
F.C.

Was looking at the prototypes in the flesh the other day and it is actually a very pretty car up close. Obviously not seen the mods that CM has made but I'll bet its going to be a very good car indeedy.


Come on Lee!! Its INFO time!!

I kinda like it
needs a great big wing on the back though

[EDWARDO]

At least u can actually buy it! Saw the development car and have to say i thought it looked rather good, i think people shouldnt be so biased, strange to have such a strong opinion on a forum like this.

Not a surprise considering the original poster. I think it looks good and isn't it a level up on Noble - ie: all carbon body?

Yeah, looks good to me too.

Plus they spent a great deal of time making sure the deposit holders knew what was happening with the car during the development cycle.

Looking forward to getting mine !

The supercharged version. Just have to decide on the colour now......

Me too. And i agree it would look better with a wing on the back.

Will be interesting to see how a Supercharged Duratec will go?

Yeah, it will.... I'm not expecting Noble like performance (I've got a Noble for that!), just after a nice everyday sports car.

Doesn't matter which way you look at it this is competition for the new Noble. As with many a new car these days beauty is in the eye of the beholder - I think it looks alright - certianly better than the M15 Prototype and also more compact.

[RobP]

OK someones gotta ask, so it might as well be me...what it is??? Farbourd (or whatever?)

it's now called a Farbio. All the confusion with Farboud and Arash cars ended up with them changing the name.

glad you posted that, i was wondering what is was as well lol.

i quite like it as well, but it defo needs a huge wing on the back

[DanH]

I like it. Visually more resolved than any Noble I've seen.

Good luck to them.

Farbio does sound like a hair styling product though. Awful name.

As widely reported, the Noble is carbon fibre.

This is V6, over 1000kgs and 0-60 is 4.8 seconds for the base model which is identical to my Z4M..... £60k. Hmm.....

Styling doesn't work for me, but then I like Bangles' styling so much I bought two of them so clearly am bonkers

On the whole I like it, although there are bits that I think are a bit awkward, like the vent detail on the doors and the rear looks a bit 'stunted' in side profile IMO. Also not sure about how the non-supercharged version will successfully stack up against the competition. Good luck to them though.

>> come on Noble - get cracking!!!
