Thumbs up BREAKING: Noble unleashes 225 mph M600 supercar

We've seen spy shots, spy shots, and more spy shots of Noble's new M600 supercar. Now the British car builder has finally released official images and details of its latest model, complete with a Volvo-based twin-turbo V8 producing 650 horsepower. Pricing is expected to be around £200,000 (roughly $328k USD), more than twice that of previous models, and customers waiting on the now-extinct M14 and M15 can request for their deposits to be returned if they don't wish to purchase the new car.

As the high price tag suggests, the M600 brings much more to the table than past Noble models. The car is constructed from a stainless steel tub, tube skeleton and chassis, clad with carbon fiber body panels for a curb weight of just 2810 pounds. The 4.4-liter V8 (a first for Noble) has been fitted with twin Garrett turbochargers, and the driver can change between three output settings - 450, 550, or 650 horsepower - with max torque output of 618 lb-ft. Performance will be more than up to supercar standards, with 60 mph reachable in 3.0 seconds flat, 100 mph in 6.5 seconds, and a top speed of 225 mph.

As with past models, Noble aimed to make the M600 a purist driver's car. The traction control system can be completely deactivated, and there is no ESP system or anti-lock brakes. Shifting will be done old school with a six-speed manual gearbox and no paddle shifters will be offered. The M600 will make its public debut at the Goodwood Revival on September 19-21,

Wow. That is impressive.

EDIT- Just saw the price and now I think it's kind of stupid. CGT or scud come to mind immediately over this car.

I don't think it looks all that bad, but near $350K is.

Doesn't look too bad from profile view, cant say the same about the front... Interior looks interesting, price is nuts though.

I was SO looking forward to this car, but the looks or lack of impact thereof (looks like a LOT of other cars, R8, Lambo, bit of Ferrari 355 and Lotus even), combined with the price (really guys, 200K pounds!?!?) means I'll just have to pick a new object of desire. I like it, just not 200,000 pounds like it.

Price is nuts. Price it in the low 100s, and they couldn't build them fast enough to keep up with demand. Unless the production cost mandates a minimum price higher than this, it's a clear price/volume issue.
