M15 up the hill today...

[AMG Merc]

Saw Lee today, said he was going to take it easy up the hill in the M15 on the Goodwood Supercar run - glad to say he did as it chose to hiss down at the exact same time of the run!

Micknall took the Benters Continental cabriolet out - very Poshe Simon!

Bloke in Spyker spider (I think?) had to put umbrella up INSIDE the car whilst waiting for the run!

Damn good day out your lordship!

Hope it's still running, I'm there tomorrow and it's going to be dry.

Lets hope he opens it up a bit.

And here is the M15's first public run up the Goodwood hill in the wet!

Tis excellent to see it from the outside. Strange as though it sounds, it actually gets more 'presence' as it goes away from you.

Lee was in good form yesterday, and good to see Mike and Giles as well

That looks very high of the ground?

Part of the whole package to give it GT credentials in terms of suspension travel. Also bear in mind that Lee hasn't finished the wheel arches yet and so there is 'space' between the tyre and arch.

I think it is the height from the ground that looks large, not the arch. Wonder if that makes the venturi worse? I'm sure it'll be fine no matter what height it is, if Lee is signing it off then it is hardly going to be rubbish

[joust]

The M15 does move more under acceleration / deacceleration more than the M400. The gap is just Lee giving it loads of beans even in the pissing rain

I had a look for the M15 in the supercar paddock after the run on sunday, but couldn't find it. Was it not on display?

[mr_tony]

Looked all over for Noble at the FOS but didn't find anything - was there a stand.

Did get a few pics fo the M15 though in the supercar paddock which I shall post up later.

It was on display in the morning. Didn't seem to be getting much attention though.

This was my first viewing of the car in the flesh and it looked good from the front. I am not sure about the side view but I am sure I could grow to live with it.

The sound was a bit disappointing when it went up the hill. Hopefully it sounds better inside.

I can't play it either ... help ... anyone

Saw it Friday - looked a lot better than in picture, but the back is still a bit off the mark. Dynamically looked great I thought

The original is MPEG4.

I've encoded a low res WMV version though for those without an MPEG4 codec.

Click here for the Lo-res (wmv) or the original Hi-res (mpg).

I had a look round the M15 at Goodwood. I originally thought it looked pretty bad but it really does look much better in the flesh. Imnportly it had a very grown-up, resolved feel to it. Biggest surprise was that the interior looked good as well!

Well done Noble.

[mgbond]

While I was getting a few shots I got to sit inside. Nice dash not to busy.
