What is it?

This is the Noble M600, a £200k car that intentionally eschews all the usual conveniences crammed into a mass-produced supercar.

So it’s a raw, very racy, slightly scary machine that aims to deliver deeper driving satisfaction than an entire car park full of Ferrari F430s.

It’s powered by a twin-turbo 4.4-litre V8, courtesy of a quite peculiar but also rather compelling combination of Ford, Yamaha, Volvo and American engine specialist Motorkraft. This sma...Read the full article

The most exciting car since the F40 is a huge claim as by all accounts the F40 is the greatest of all supercars with the Mclaren F1 up there as well.

While I am sure it is an amazing drive, to me, it does not look like a 200K supercar such as the Mclaren, Zonda or F40 do and therefore does not have that special supercar feel too it.

Still...would not say no to one! ; )

If Steve Sutcliffe thought he's "lost it" whilst being adventurous with the throttle pedal on damp tarmac, there ain't much hope for all the wealthy playboy owners  ;o)

Well, as I already pointed out, for 200k you can buy a decent original F40. It's a Ferrari, no depreciation and specific output of the engine it's in the same league.

"Abs is for wimps", says Mr Noble? Sure, wimps who want to survive after a ride with their car.

Abs development is expensive for a car which is going to sell in very tiny numbers. Not to mention traction control or airbags. This is the only reason.

It's easy to make a light car: just make it unsafe at any speed.

Ferrari Scuderia has same weight, but at least it's got proper airbags, abs and Tc. And no Volvo engine.

Ok, it's british, but it's a joke of a car.

Agreed, When they took the concept from £80k to £200k they should have spent more time redesigning it to look a special as a £200k car needs to be.

I dont it will sell well due to the high price.  There are loads of supercars available at lest cost.

you realistically cant ask that kind of money for such a niche car - no matter how capable it is - anyone in that level of spending power for a supercar will be more concerned with the image and kudos of driving it rather than its out and out abilities - that they would never fully realise anyway.

If thats the case , then the Nissan GTR is the new everyday supercar ,bar none!, and apart from money, what qualifies you for these "MAN" cars? ,i'd like to know. 

As is written in this weeks mag there are lots of small independant car makers british car makers out there who are never heard of who produce exciting cars at real world prices, Noble appeared when the Mclaren F1 came along and started these other companys by creating something modern,new not sold on heritage, the M600 will be bought no question but and its a big but (no pun intended!) the car shapewise is nothing new,from the front it lokks like an 80's Le-mans car,the side profile almost any 90's Ferrari the cues are there, and the rear, Lotus anyone!?

£200k? You gotta be off your trolly to buy one...

Sutcliffe does his patriotic duty to talk up the M600 as much as he can and justify the £200k price tag. But fast and exciting as the M600 appears to be, £200k is still £200k and I fear this car is going to struggle to find enough buyers to enable it make its money back.
