Noble Super Coming Soon

A radical new Noble is set to wow press and public when it’s unveiled this month. Named M15, the car will remain faithful to the company’s M14 concept as a user-friendly supercar, but will have an all-new chassis, drivetrain configuration, interior and body - as well as more power.

With a guide price of £75,000 the M15 represents a major departure from Noble’s current models. It will target buyers who are seeking a more exclusive and driver-focused alternative to mid-engined cars in the £110-130k price bracket, while also tempting those who are eyeing up the 2007 Lotus Esprit.

The M15’s fresh styling and engineering emphasise our desire to present a genuinely all-new car to the market,” said Lee Noble, Noble’s MD and design chief. “While the Noble M12 series continues to win us accolades for its performance and dynamics, we’ve worked hard to ensure that the M15 is in a different league altogether. As before, this has been achieved without us having to resort to big, heavy engines or trick electronics. The M15 will be nothing less than a pure-bred driving machine.

Among the M15’s highlights will be:


Dry-sumped engine with 455bhp/455lb ft of torque

In-line drivetrain using a new, bespoke gearbox

New, 57 per cent stiffer spaceframe chassis

Generous boot space, front and rear

New interior with high levels of standard equipment

The M15 will sit above Noble’s current models from launch, leaving the completed range as follows:
Noble M15: £75,000 (est)
Noble M400: £55,995

Noble M12 GTO-3R: £49,950

Full details and pictures of the first complete M15 coming soon.

pretty sweet looking. Though I still lean towards a M12 GTO due to its cost effectiveness.

It's light weight! You know how much they saved on 4 extra studs and lugs? :p

Actually that does make sense... I mean Porsche has drilled rotors for less rotational mass, why not just use less lugs?
