Talking Noble M14

The British Noble M14 is set to take on rivals, such as the Porsche 911 Turbo and Ferrari 360 Modena, with a tantalising mix of class-leading dynamics, prodigious performance, a finely crafted and well equipped cabin, and levels of practicality that will appeal to owners who wish to use their car every day.

NOBLE M14 more pictures and some specs

I like it, looks a little edgy. Form follows function type of design.

That is a really cool. 400hp and 2500lbs in a mid engine twin turbo. Quite an update from the M12GTO3.

From the side it looks like it has too much overhang in the rear and front. Otherwise I like the concept, lightweight and poweful mid enine.

I'm starting to wondering if the Germans (BMW, Audi, Merc) have lost it. Their cars are getting heavier and heavier.

it doesn't look that great IMO... I'll stick with the 911 Turbo or the 360 Modena

This will likely be A LOT cheaper than those cars though.

If they got rid of those after thought looking wheel arches or blended them in, it would look a lot better IMO.

Nobles are pretty insane cars. I wouldn't own one though. Give me a low-tech Mosler MT900R, or a street version of the 787B :D.

I belive noble's already are available in the US but you have to fit the engine over there, not sure what engines are used, here in the UK there ford 2.5 or 3.0 v6 duratec's turbo'd

BTW the body is made in south africa and shipped to the UK/US.
