I see they are going to have a full road test on the new Noble, mark my words I bet the times are staggering as they should be with the price but what happened to the old days when they used to RR test the cars to show what horsepower they were running? I used to smile when a new Cerbera would have fantastic performance figures and when rolling roaded they would say the test car was not tuned/special it is giving out what they advertise which was 420 BHP or whatever. True but all the customer cars would be more 350 bhp!
I might be wrong but don't be surprised if the production cars are not as quick cos it is so easy to turn the wick up on a car with twin turbos just to give it that bit extra....

.No believe me when you are trying to sell a car at £200k which is around £50k more than the new Ferrari and Maclaren the performance figures is all it has, so you can bet your bottom dollar when that dial is turned up to "rediculous speed" it will be every brake horse they can muster!
