I remember a few years reading about the M15, and it seemed to receive a lot of praise. I can't recall ever hearing anything about it since, and have never seen or heard of one here in the States. Did it make it over here?

 

I don't think so. It was supposed to though.

 

A small number. I think they sell kits that you install your own motor in? They're not legal to register but either the feds or CA allows a certain number of "kit cars" that are not homologated but are otherwise legal into the country. I don't know the specifics but long story short I saw one with a plate on it at a trackday once

 

Hilarious! My advice,.. don't try to race one anywhere, unless you are in an Enzo! And even some off those have lost.
It is a 'kit' car if counting two very big and completed parts as a 'kit' car, rather than coming in thousands of pieces. The original Noble M15 car was bought and finally finished by Rossion and now arrives around the world under that name. The engine is delivered separate to avoid USA crash test regulations. But other than that, it arrives complete. The Rossion/Noble dealer in Florida has test cars for you to experience. If you want one, another very reputable local Ferrari tuner shop connects the engine and you drive away in one of the very best handling, and fastest mid-engine cars made today at any price.

There is now a new Noble 600 currently being released in the UK, which sells for about $300,000!

Whats a Rossion Q1 go for? 110-150k?

 

As I understand,.. about $110,000 with all available options with a month or 2 waiting list.

 

Wow, that's great information... Interesting how they work the loophole like that, are they legal to drive in California in that configuration? You would think that companies like Motorex could've done that with the GT-Rs they brought over.

 

I'd guess, like the Atom, they are legal as a kit car in CA, and therefore very hard to actually register (since only a limited number of those registrations are allowed each year).

 

Yes,.. similar in performance to an Atom,.. or an Enzo. The new Rossion's have a luxury class interior to go with their Performance. That part isn't very "KIT", nor very "ATOM". They seem to register easily in most states, but do go under that special limited number in CAL. Something to do with registering at the 1st of the year? You can ask in their forum. I don't own a Noble or Rossion or live in CAL. My home state doesn't even have emission standards! I do have great respect for these cars after seeing them several times on the track.

 

I think that by the time the M15 was brought stateside, the US distributer had become Rossion and all Noble M15s were rebadged as such. I can't back that up with any hard facts but that's what I seem to recall hearing.
