TVR Typhon, die sind nur neidisch weil die Noble brauchte ein bisschen mehr PS.
Common guys, Typhon can read and write German and is interested in cars too. "Get a life" -- well, get an education.
"TVR typhoon, those are only enviously because the Noble needed little more HP."

Good job! Was that translated through an online translator or did you learn like me, through many hours of having to watch German TV?
Well back to topic. I think the performance is excellent for a car that will be, in my estimate, very dependable, managable, and comfortable on the road.
It is expensive, but not that much when compared to the Aston Martin or Jaguar crowd.
I have an Ultima GTR, and although I love the driving experience, I would sometimes value a bit of comfort and the stowage space. As far as performance goes, the gearing looks very, very good compared to my Ultima, which is using the Getrag 6-speed.
The Ultima is OK on most roads, but I drive German autobahns frequently and could do with lower revs and a higher MPH/KPH, given the distances.
Well done for Noble, if you ask me (an American - which is just as bad on this mainly UK dominated forum )

The ones we know we looooovvvveee (particulary if they have the class to run Lee's first "serious" car design). Lovely picture of your car in your profile - the background really suits the yellow car - where was it taken?

This thread is hilarious! I find it especially funny given the fact that I am an American. Then just to add a bit o' irony, throw in the fact that one side of my gene pool is of British(mothers side) descent and the other side is of German(fathers side) descent. Really, I am not joking! Seems very funny to me that British/German people dislike or even hate Americans, know them or not, simply based on the fact of their citizenship in this or any other particular country. This seems to be the root of quite a few problems in the world today! I don't have any problem with any particular foreign people, however the French can be rather rude, and if they were not then they would'nt be "French" then would they!
I follow the Ultima forums every day, but when news of the M14 came out, I really wished that there was time to go to the Motor Show.
Yes, the M14 is a serious car to be taken seriously when considering what to purchase and also, I am sure, when you meet it on the roads. The Ultima shares some DNA with the Noble, abeit far back.
It was worth a peek at the Noble forum, and I am sure I follow it some more.
The pic of my Ultima, which is a top-end spec car, was taken near Heidelberg, Germany. My daughters are going to University there (and heaven knows what else).
