Noble M600

Designed and engineered with a purity that rewards driver skill the Noble M600 puts you firmly in the driver's seat. The traction control system can be completely deactivated, and there is no ESP system or anti-lock brakes. Shifting is done old school with a 6-speed manual gearbox and no paddle shifters are to be offered. This is a car for those of you who love to drive.

Constructed from stainless steel with a carbon fibre body, the M600 weighs in at 2800lbs; with a 40% (front) / 60% (rear) weight distribution. Power comes from a 4.4 litre Volvo V8, fitted with twin Garrett turbochargers, that develops 650bhp (in development tune 750bhp has been achieved). If you wish you can dial-down the power, choosing between three ECU settings: 450bhp, 550bhp or 650bhp - you're in control. With 650bhp on tap O-60mph is reached in 3 secs and 100mph in 6.5 secs. Top speed is 225mph.

It's expected that the Noble M600 will be priced at £200,000. Once purchased all you have to do is handle it.

Transcript from recent Noble News:

The ethos of the M600 has developed from a small team passionate about driving. This ethos has evolved from our research of the available 'supercars' many of which lean heavily on computer assistance. The use of fashionable, but often inefficient paddle shifts, over assisted brakes and inopportune traction control have all become standard features of the modern supercar.

We at Noble think it is time to break the mould, feeling that this now ubiquitous 'digital' driver assistance disengages the driver experience and reward. We have often encountered, when turning off these devices, that computer generated support can often cosmetically mask and flatter inferior chassis and handling characteristics. We decided that with the introduction of the M600, it was time to 'get back to basics', to concentrate on the more 'analogue' qualities of design utilising a principle of pure engineering integrity from the chassis up, putting you, the driver, back in control.
