Hi again all

Have Noble released full specs on the M400? If so, anyone know where I can snag the press release or even just a copy of the specs please? I want to add it to my database asap...

Thanks

Ciao

Thanks Ian, I had seen that. If I can't find official stats from Noble I'll use those, but hoping to get specifically dimensions & so on as well.

Dimensions will be the same as the M12 if you go front to back and wing mirror to wing mirror as the changes from the M12 body appear to be pretty minor (mainly in the new scoops for air cooling to the engine).

Yeah, I would imagine they would be, but it does seem that it has slightly different wheelarches. I only record widths not including wing mirrors though, so with the potential for the track to be slightly different, the height possibly lower and the width maybe a tad different, I'm left with only the wheelbase & length as realistic certainties to be carried over

I'm sure Noble will release the data in due course, guess I must just be patient


Thanks

zaktoo, the factory has already confirmed that the upcoming M400 will not have any changes to the wheel arches so the width dimensions should be the same. However, nothing has been said about changes to the suspension which could in-turn affect the ride height figure. Also, if wider tires have been utilized, this could also affect track width, but only if the offset was changed from the original design.

M400 has the same dimensions as the 3R, including front and rear tracks. Ride height is practically the same, too. As mentioned, no changes have been made to the wheel arches.

While the tyre/rim size remains as the 3R, the M400 wears Pirelli P-Zero Corsas.

PH has posted an abridged version of my press release on this car a few weeks ago, but if anyone wishes to e-mail me (simon.hucknall@noblecars.com), I'll be happy to e-mail the information to them direct.

Yes, but the wheel arches are bigger aren't they?
