Noble has peeled the wraps off its next production car, a carbon fibre beauty called the M600.
It gets a twin-turbo 4.4-litre V8 engine, supplied by Yamaha, developing 659hp and 816Nm of torque. And because it's clothed entirely of carbon fibre, it weighs a little over a tonne - about 1,200kg.
That equals a 3.5-second sprint to 100km/h and a 362km/h top speed. Performance through light(ish) weight, as a fellow British manufacturer might say.
Taking a leaf from the BMW M5's book, the Noble doesn't give drivers all its power off the bat. Three modes determine what's available: Road, Track and Race settings provide 456-, 558-, and 659hp respectively.
These 'Adaptive Performance Control' settings alter the suspension management too, for the sake of comfort; the M600 is the race car you can relax in.
Noble promises the fit and finish of the M600 is way beyond anything the company has ever done before, and by the look of the pictures we can believe it. Potential customers - of whom there are many, says Noble - will get to have a proper poke about the car over the coming weeks.
