meeting so (politely) bog off! "It is truly brilliant" - Hammond! 
Well that went very well indeed. Good lap time, but I suppose the hot temps on the day may not have helped. Would have been nice to have done a 1.21 but beating the Zonda and Lambo Merci is what people will see.
Great review! Hammond seemed very impressed.
They didn't show much of the rear! Less than 3 shots I think, I can only assume from this that its far from finished being styled. [fingerscrossed]

GT3 RS is faster despite being heavier and 70bhp and loads of torque down, wonder what the 997 GT3 will be like with 415bhp, PASM will make that just a better road car than the old RS surely? I guess most M15 buyers might consider splashing out a bit more on a 997TT too? Was hoping for faster than that performance, no quicker than an M400 was it?

What a predictable quote 
Fancy doing London to Spain in a RS? Get over speedhumps without removing the brake vents
Why bother with an RS, just get a Radical, save £60k and go much faster
Now, remind me what time a standard £75k 911 did...

its the same engine but now mounted longitudinally
so - which turbo's does the M15 use - I can't see any reason why they can't be fitted to a M12?
if they can get a financial backer then the M15 should be a reality - and after that review, I reckon they should !
I thought they already had a financial backer in place?so - which turbo's does the M15 use - I can't see any reason why they can't be fitted to a M12?

Half a second slower around knutstorp than my M400

??? The M15 is a reality. I take delivery of mine very soon.

I must admit, I was slightly bemused by gadgeroonie's 'reality' comment....

In answer to your first question, yes please if you can convince Dan to lend me his, can't promise I'd come back though :P
Radical doesn't have any luggage space, you could easily use a 911 as your only car.
Standard Porsche 911 is 59k, GT3 is 79k so much closer to the M15 price and like it or not a car that it will be compared with, I was simply musing over the fact that a PASM equiped GT3 may well be about as fast on track as an RS but also nicer on the road, perhaps even a good enough road-track compromise to be a good alternative to the M15 at a similar price point. After all the hype about how the m15 would leave the M400 for dead I was expecting it to be faster than an M400.
Don't take any comments about the M15 so personally!
Before I put a deposit down does anyone know how Noble is doing financially,they appear to have sold very few cars over the past 18 months and the M15 as good as it is has taken an eternity to arrive.What's keeping them going.
With this in mind I am swaying towards a used Gallardo!!!
