The car doesn't exist, hasn't done for a long while. Or the M15. There is a long running thread discussing a lot of that at the minute.

Apparently you can test drive an M400 at the factory.

Right! We just spent a week with a post maxed out on agression and unrest and a stranger comes to Noble town and asks a (very) reasonable question and gets sarcasm! Tip: not everyone knows as much as us!

Not very friendly, but very funny matey!


Stimmers, the M14 was announced a couple of years ago and quickly was reshaped into the M15 that you may have seen on Top Gear (hammond loved it).

That car is STILL in development as the company needed some cash injecting to get things moving. Thankfully that cash has arrived by way of a minted yank saviour and the M15 should, fingers crossed, "appear" in one form or another pretty soon. (read, anytime in the next 20 years)


In the mean time, and noticing that you have a 360 at the o. I suggest you get your ass to your nearest Noble dealer and get in a 3R or an M400 and let us all know what you think.

(ps. If you prefer the driving dynamics of your 360, let us know, but be wearing a flame proof jacket when you type!)

Greg,

thank you very much for your comments and apologies for not being so clued up. It was indeed watching an old episode of Top Gear yesterday that got me thinking. I had no idea the car had been delayed, i was thinking that there would be some on the 2nd hand market by now, excuse my ignorance.

Reluctant to sell my 360 which i have had from pretty much new and (touch wood) never had any sort of problem with, its a great car and have a real attachment to it.

Again thanks for your comments

If you have a bit of faith you could stick down the £1500+VAT deposit to get in the queue (although the queue for the final car is a bit long), otherwise you'll have to wait until it's released (and the factory are keeping stum about that)

360 is a lovely car, but perhaps you should go and try a 2nd hand M400 at a dealer to give you the Noble Effect (TM)?

To give you an idea of what the new car will be like, here's my back to back test

So the new car is not changing much from the mule you drove a year ago?

Why the wait then

Bit harsh given that it was meant to be a joke....

Ah, but how did Stimmers know that?! There's an exclamation mark at the end of the posting - I would have taken it as a slight too.

I know NickTwoHats didn't mean anything by this 'cause I know his style but this illustrates the importance and value of using emoticons.

If you seek out the other threads, the car is being significantly changed from the M15 I drove.

Sod off they do!

Rob,
You're right.
I apologise to Stimmers for being overly sarcastic.

[joolski]

I did a write up of the M15 a while ago.

I would say the next car from noble will have a different power train, and most likely include a fair bit of carbon fibre.

No problem mate. I do have a real problem with people who insinuate your a dreamer or you don't have the means to own such a car when asking questions, simply because your new or don't know much about that particular make of car. I find it very ignorant and a big problem for sites like this. I'd rather take someone on their word and help them out, if they turn out to be a 'dreamer' then thats their problem and not mine, hopefully my responses helped someone else instead.

Big thread on the Ferrari section now about a guy who has been banned twice for being a 'troll' as he was asking questions about buying a Lambo and saying he was 22. Well he just posted that he's bought a Gallardo and that its been confirmed by the salesman.
I don't like that.

Thanks for all the comments on the Noble's guys, going to do some research and maybe go and drive a couple.

That's what I understood - I was confused why you pointed the chap to your M15 road test - surely not indicative of what is really happening

Performance and handling wise it is VERY indcative, expect Noble have said the final car will be even better.
