Meet Noble’s new world beater! The company has released official pictures the production-ready version of its Veyron-baiting M600 supercar.
The British-made monster boasts an all carbon fibre body, with a mid-mounted 4.4-litre V8 sending up to 478 kW and a prodigious 818 Nm of torque to the rear wheels. Coupled with a kerbweight of under 1 200kgs, (50 less than on the first prototype) the M600 now has a better power to weight ratio than even the Bugatti Veyron. It’s enough to take it from standstill to 200 km/h in an incredible 8.9 seconds.
To help make the M600 more useable during normal road use, and you can change the power output to suit your needs, with 331 kW, 404 kW and 478 kW modes, and a different throttle map for each output. There’s traction control too, which is adjustable right down to being fully switched off via the appropriately named ‘Missile Switch’.
Inside, the quality has been greatly improved over the pre-production car, and the interior is trimmed in more carbon fibre along the centre console & door panels and the eye-catching bespoke switchgear is all custom built.
Prices are yet to be announced, though there are currently 52 deposits from potential customers, who are likely to pay around £200 000 for the Noble when deliveries start this spring. That makes it much cheaper than both the Bugatti and the new Pagani Huayra – which is expected to cost well over half a million pounds.
