Driving along the M69 Wednesday morning, heading West. Heard a noise behind me on the two lane bit, looked around and there was M600 LHD behind me! Got to the three lane bit, it growled and then rapidly disappeared, heavenly noise! I want one!
Assuming it was being driven by someone from Noble/on here, I was the silver Seat Ibiza that you were behind briefly! (Assuming you remember that)

Just thought I'd share, as I've not seen one on the roads!

If it was dark blue with black wheels and lhd that could be Mr Dyson's car.

I continue to be amazed by the sound of the M600. How do they get such a deep, powerful tone from what is (in the US) a very small V8? The sound is as deep as the 7 liter Corvette Z06 engine. I love it! It might even make me stop dreaming about a 360 with the Kreissieg exhaust.

I spotted the orange one a while back while I was in mine. The noise and sight of the thing nearly put me off the road smile

There was a "bare" carbon one on a car polish stand at the Paris motor show yesterday.

No, that is the blue lacquered carbon one. There is also a completely bare carbon one, that is clear lacquered, with red bits. Looks superp.

It wasn't the blue one. It was the dark red publicity car that was delivered to Hammond in the top gear episode. Awesome either way! I can also say I've driven that engine! It was only round a workshop, and it was bolted into an xc90 at the time, but let's not be picky!

According to Noble's twitter feed this car is a customer car. Also, apparently they're "having trouble keeping up with customer demand" which if true, is good news.

thats good news,i think as long as Noble stays as a small, efficient company and not saturate the market too much with the same model, i can see a long future for them.

I think thats one of their demo car's.

Yes, hope they contine in the small scale production, but with Lotus looking close to collapse, who knows, maybe a smaller, cheaper Noble, called a M500 in the pipe line?? idea !!!!!......
