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

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

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

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!
