Anyone noticed how much like a Noble the new/next Porsche supercar is?

Yes, it was the first thing that went through my mind.

looks more like the m600 than an m12. in the same way a badger looks more like a skunk than a zebra.

Nice, but £621,600 (at current exchange rate).

It has very nice lights!

I'd guess it's slightly more advanced under the skin

at the cost of 10 nobs it better be,i do love the look of it though

One can easily imagine that a current day evolution, of the M12/M400, would look like the Porsche. All the more galling for UK plc that Lee gave up on a brilliant product and moved on to the M14/M15 etc.

I for one, would right now, be contemplating my next Noble to replace my Red 3R, now since departed to pastures new.

In my lifetime I do not expect to drive again, a car, as good as my M12.

Nuff said.

As they say, don't give up hope.

Of this it's in a different league, but the tech is just mindblowing. I had the joy of discussing at length this with the architects when I blagged my way at Hockenheimring just after it was unveiled, in a different world as-they-say.
