Noble M500

Probably still comes in under £150k for that too.

It's just an LS in there isn't it? You can get twin turbo kits that are good for 2k bhp for about $20k. Obviously other costs if you want to keep everything inside the block for any length of time

Ultima RS uses LT5 (or LT1 / LT4 if you want to spend less). 800bhp in std form. Upto 1200bhp offered.

Enthusiastically delivered review of the M500

Love that it's a manuel, but the clack-clack (or more accurately CLACK-CLACK) of the open gate really started to get on my tats whilst watching this vid

Who would ever consider this over a GT3 (even a used one)?

I get Radical's, Ultima's etc as at least they have a USP.

The only USP the Noble seems to have is it's overpriced for what you get

I think the appeal of the noble is based on what it’s not rather than what it is, it’s for people who want to be different so they can tell people they’re not a sheep etc.

So we’re now 18months on from the press drives of the pre-prod car, and the Noble website still states “The M500 is due for release sometime in late 2024 and will feature a Ford 3.5L twin turbo engine. Price and final specification is yet to be announced”

Wonder if it will ever reach production

Seems like an appropriate place to post this vid from UpnDown, with som really interesting history on the genesis of Noble:
