So is that the final look of it?

You'd need to study Nobility history. Dan is an OEM Noble 1.0 owner and, like myself, got fed up with hearing about the wonderous new model so he politely digs now and again. smile

I'm not stirring or passing judgement (unlike some of you lot!!!!), I just want to know if that's the final look!

Looks quite meaty to me which is good, although I'd be lying if I said it set my pulse racing. With 600 bhp and 1200 kg its going to be quick, that's for sure.

Here are some different pics of the same car :

The ones in autocar are easier to see the details in.

Everything that I have read so far (including the CAR stuff)- but more importantly the lucky one or two that have posted on previous threads who have seen and driven the new car - all agree that the final body is still not quite complete. I have looked on the autocar site and can't find any new noble pictures. Can anyone point the way ? Are they any closer to the final car ?

They aren't up I looked. They are in this weeks mag though.

Am I supposed to be flattered that they've incorporated my Fastback, look at those ducts almost identical.

The new one looks fantastic, if I had the funds then my 3 would deffo be replaced with this...but with the current climate is £100K realistic now?
I would hate to see Noble fall after all the wait to get the new one ready as it's obviously going to be briliant but how many deposits are still going to become actual cars?
I'm completely sold on all the marque, I really hope enough people can support them with orders at the moment so we can all enjoy these great cars in years to come.

The people who end up with one of those on thier drives are lucky, lucky barstewards! That looks awesome, I just wish I had another zero on the end of my bank balance...

Interestingly those Car photos and video seem to be all from the USA.

Not sure the styling really shouts a £100k car to me to be honest, but I'll need to see it in the flesh.

Just curious ... would 202mph be fast enough to class it as a supercar?

Justin those pics are from hot weather testing in the US. Think autocar said Nevada.

It looks better in the car shots than it did in autocar. Dunno about the price point. I wonder if they haven't fallen between the stools of not looking race car like vs not looking 100% production road car. I liked how the 3 had hinged clams etc.

The front is all wrong to my eye - maybe the clam is askew. I suppose this is a mule of sorts though.

I have not seen the Autocar piece yet, but the photos here are looking very much Proto 1 without the Zebra stipes, that we have seen before, and I drove at Bruntingthorpe.

I understand Proto 2 has a number of detail changes to the bodywork, which will be closer to the final build.

Great to see it doing some 'Hot weather' testing, and (no Doubt) some input from the 'Parent' company.

Just my bit anyway.

Cheers,
Ian.

Not negative, just I said I would have to see it in the flesh.

After all a 430 doesn't exactly look great from some angles in photos, but that didn't stop me blasting around in Dorset all last week in one.

That's prototype 2.

I think there will be changes to the rear and to the fueling arrangement.
