Noble M600 finally getting somewhere?
First there was the M14. That was then scrapped and became the M15 (see [URL="http://www.ultimatecarpage.com/forum/general-automotive/23663-noble-m14-scrapped-long-live-m15.html"]here[/URL]). Then Dyson of Dyson Racing fame got involved and everything looked positive. Then company founder and chief engineer Lee Noble had a major bust-up with Dyson (allegedly) and stormed out of the company, leaving the whole project up in the air.
There have been persistent rumours of an updated M15 and a few mysterious spyshots of a test mule. Now finally the 'new' car, going by the name of M600 has been officially confirmed as being in final testing by the Noble factory. If Noble's own boasts are to be believed, it could be one hell of a car...

[quote=Noble Cars]...The engine was in a 'detuned' state with a limited 500 bhp, but even in this 'detuned' guise we were delighted by the performance, achieving [B]a top speed of 202 mph and a 0-100mph out accelerating the Porsche GT[/B]. Track testing was assessed against a Ford GT, Ferrari F50 and the Carrera GT. In the company of such illustrious and stiff competition the M600 was a revelation...[/quote]
The test mule looks like some kind of stealth bomber in that matte black colour.
