No thanks. That is up there with the FBS in looks.

Shame the body (IMO) doesnt appeal, as it looks like they have done what noble should have done and turned the engine round and put a quality gearbox on it. Would be a great upgrade for the Noble if they could keep the shape similar to the original car. Liking the use of the 3.5 engine as well.

Thats a distinct improvement on what we've seen before and I'd like to see the hard top on and stowed - a neat solution.

Turned the engine through 90' and the M15 gearbox. Obviously a lot of work, well done.

However might I suggest a slightly less abrasive public relations attitude?

well done on removing the abrasive comment, i didn't even bother looking earlier due to those comments.

I like the concept I can see a lot of styling cues in there, not sure the styling is better than a std noble tho, any indication on price?

Is that the conversion & the "Salica GT" has the engine in-line?

At least they are actually making a car....


I think it could be a seen as logical progression from where Noble left off (Kind of the UK Rosion?!). Not sure the colour scheme on the car pictured is to my liking though....

Should be a interesting drive with 400BHP NA. What's the cost though?

People should remeber the M12 isn't excatly a looker either.

Yeah, and I thought the inline bit was the most interesting thing about it. Maybe that's version 2?

I don't think the M12 is (or this new car). The M12 does look like it means business though. Just looks like a race car when you rock up behind people. That's why I bought it. Gizard is right though. It aint that pretty.
