Stumbled across these added pictures of the new M400 and thought it would be good to get them up.

Woah. I rather like that. The flared arches, larger wheels, funky V6Clioesq air intake... mmmm

I know ive slated the Nobles interior recently, but man oh man thats a nice looking car.

Just a shame they still have ugly door handles... really spoils the side profile imo... anyone know if you can have it painted body colour or something???
A TVR sensor and handleless doors would look nice.

Sorry but I disagree.....that really is "not nice at all"!!!

The flared arches look like a Halfords add on and the M400 graphics...........need I say more!

The addition of an oil temp/pressure gauage is good......but then this should be std issue across the Noble range really.

From an asthetic point of view......I don't like it at all.....hopefully people will be buying the M400 for its' road/track capabilities and will be able to overlook the looks!

Don't think the arches are flared at all? Look the same as the above no?

Think I prefer the looks of the standard 3r to be honest.

I spotted that car on friday on the A5, it was heading toward MIRA test track.

Looks really nice! it looks like the photos were taken at Bruntingthorpe.

Flared arches????

Basic bodyshell is no different to existing M12, so arches remain the same.

Cosmetic exterior differences are:

No splitter at front
Side scoops
Anthracite wheels/wing tips/wing uprights/mirror backs
M400 badging on rear panel/wheel centres
M400 graphic which is a delete option

I think those side scoops need to be body colour too. What about it for the Motor Show car?
