Autocar - M600 and M15C

[imclueless]

So 650bhp Volvo 4.4l TT V8 with carbon fibre body.

M600 will be ultra fast road going GT and the M15C a track day (but registerable) car

All for £100k.

Lee is restricting production to 50 a year.

Well good luck to the man but he has gone to a market I am not interested in.

The thought I had of selling the R8 in a year or so for a Noble has reduced to 0 shame

Why? Isnt the R8 in the same price bracket? Or am i missing some other point like waiting list

[imclueless]

No it is a 20k difference.

For some reason some people think if you can afford £80k you can afford £100k - unfortunately that isn't true in my case

Any more details...or is that it?
Is it an official press release?
100K...I guess a lot of the deposit holders will be cashing them in, 25k more than the M15 is quite a hike.
Look forward to hearing/seeing more though ( but wont hold my breath)

I must say I'm not surprised 600BHP+ with Carbon fibre chassis for 75K was unlikely to happen imo.

what do we reckon a car like this will do for the value of our current Nobles ? ...a) reduce them because they are no longer the last model sold or b) increase the value because Noble is back selling cars or c) stay about the same ?

C

[imclueless]

As long as Noble support the old cars it shouldn't be an issue and prices should be quite stable. You will be able to brag about having the cheap noble!

If there is a feeling that you can't get spares etc then it may become difficult to sell as they get older.

maybe we could end owning the equivalent of the ferrari 246 Dino ?

And double the price of the last car he made.

I suspect a number of his current fan base can afford the leap but I don't get the impression he has many VERY wealthy followers.

He is however in a niche of his own - I actually don't know of many £100k cars...

Anybody care to guess at the 0-60, 0-100 and top speed?

[imclueless]

My uninformed guess mid to late 3's - Still got to overcome laws of physics and put the grip down. Depending on aero package near 200.


Revised downwards Early 3's Late 2's?

That would make the M12/M400 quite a bargain, since the remapped/true dual exhaust versions already surpass that 0-60 number.

B.

So, am I reading this right - we now know for sure that Noble plan to launch two models: M600 and M15C?

[V6GTO]

NO...we do not "know"
