New Noble M14 in autocar today
 
Not yet unveiled at the motorshow (due this afternoon) but autocar have pics and prices... looks lovely.

Leather interior, luggage space, same wheelbase and engine as the M12, only 70kg heavier than an M12, 400bhp, 0-100 in 9.5seconds, £75k.

Sorry don't have a scanner here today.. :(

maybe thats in mph

rob_e1 05-25-2004 10:16 AM

Yes thats 9.5 seconds for 0-100mph.

I will wait my issue to see that. A Noble M14, that's interesting for sure, the M12 is a great achievement :)

0-100mph in 9.5 is not that impressive..

wow, that car looks damn sexy! thanks for the pic/link :)

kinda a mix of supercars in design, i think
front facia/ bonet: owe homage to the Murcialago
cockpit: origins look like a Porsche GT1
door sill:: remeniscant of the Porsche CGT
rear: the jury is still out til i see a good picture, but ill guess a lambo again :)

hmmmmmmm looks alot more like a proper car than the old Nobles, not as kit-car like, but pretty? no, too agressive, no refinement in its looks, i think its some kind of angular version of the MG SV, which i find VERY ugly

hmmm... a hint of Enzo :wink:

I guess it looks good but I would have to see other pictures to know for sure.

Yeah, the windshield does have thar wrap-around apperance of an Enzo. I think those headlights are too big, and therefor ruining its apperance.

And also the two front vents :wink:

I'm actually a big fan of the Noble M12, but this one looks out of proportion, I have to say. I hope they fix those swollen eyes, the massive front overhang, and the SUV-like ride height appearance - yes I know this will have a very low CG actually, but the gap between the front spoiler and the road seems to be just too big (but that could be a lighting issue, me not seeing where the body actually ends)....
As the pictures make it look, it's not my glass of beer.

I also think 9.5 seconds to 100 mph sounds a little slow, the GTO 3-R has done better than that!
