Noble M15
Noble today unveiled its latest supercar, the new M15. The 455 hp M15 accelerates from 0-60mph in less than 3.3 seconds and 10-100mph in less than 8 seconds. It keeps going all the way to 185mph, too, and has been tuned for rapid acceleration throughout the range rather than an easily achievable 200mph top end speed. “The M12 is a great car, but it’s very focused and I wanted to produce a supercar people could use every day,” said founder Lee Noble. “It was time for Noble to take a big step up in terms of refinement, practicality and style.” The car is priced at £74,950 in Britain. No word if it’s coming to the U.S.

Blistering pace 
and I presume decent handling from previous Noble car reviews, but Mondeo engine, Focus Indicators, VX220 rear end, 360 front nose........it just doesn't look right

Yeah its not the prettiest thing. They should have just kept it as a raw track car and not try to infuse some daily driverness in it. Hopefully now we will have some more mag comparisons with british cars though. They always manage to leave out TVR's and Nobles.

I think these cars are all fine and good.......if you are prepared to do Noble's development work for them.

The backend is hideous, they should have spent more time on it, especially when you consider that its the most common view most people will see of it!

That back end just looks wrong in those pics. Was drooling over the first pics, then scrolled down and went "Oh"
