Novembers edition of TopGear has an interesting article titled "War horses" Noble drives to Germany to test the Gumpert. "Traditional supercars not quite scary enough? Be calm, Gumpert and Noble keep insanity alive.
Good read and I love the look of the Gumpert.

I have to say if i had the money it would be the Gumpert every time. It is a truly bonkers looking car with attitude and performance written all over it. It was pleasing to read the positive report on the M600 though, i guess driving the 2 together would make the M600 more refined in comparison even on 650 setting. Can I have both please ???

The M600 is a car you could use everyday, sit comfortably in traffic and on long journeys, but i do prefer the bonkers styling of the apollo.
I like refinement for a road car, for a track car it doesnt really matter, thats what always suprised me about Noble even with the M400, it does both very well, i have driven across europe 4 times, 2 going and 2 coming back, 15 hours in the drivers seat without a single discomfort., people always get a shock when i take them for a drive in the Noble, they think its going to be like a Lotus, not many cars with this level of performance has the same ride comfort, in fact i cant think of any, my friend spent a fortune on a 997TT everytime we hit a bump it felt like somebody had hit me in the spine with a baseball bat, plus the cabin rattled on the porsche, not suprised with suspension that hard though, wont be long before it shakes the entire car apart.

Nice photo Bruno, just look at the width of the thing!! makes the Noble look positively slim by comparison, no so good for the narrow lanes of Devon though so may have to let the one go in classifields wink

I've got to say that m12 next to a car thats worth ten times the money(and very sexy) doesn't look out of place at all!
Buying an m12 is by far the best thing i have ever done, and i still have the smile after nearly 4 years it doesn't get old.
