Why it matters

The M600 is a lightweight, deliberately analogue twin-turbo V8 supercar built in Leicestershire by a small company, with no ABS or stability control and a three-position boost switch. Noble's owner described it as the Ferrari F40's purity with a usable boot and enough power for modern supercars.

History

Peter Dyson, an American who took over Noble Automotive in August 2006, and managing director Peter Boutwood began the car after the M15 project; Dyson said nothing of the M15 was used and that the new car took three years to develop, including wind-tunnel and heat-chamber testing at MIRA. The M600 was shown in 2010 and was expected to enter production in the autumn of 2010 at about GBP 200,000, with deliveries from November. Lee Noble, who founded the company, left around the time of the project, though his own site lists the M600 among the Noble range he designed.

Engines are bought crated from Yamaha, rebuilt in the US by Motorkraft with stronger internals and Garrett turbos, then shipped to the UK. Later variants included a Speedster with a removable targa roof and an optional clutchless automated gearbox, priced at GBP 247,000 against GBP 206,000 for the coupe, and Autocar says the company could break even at about 10 cars a year.

Identification guide

How to tell an original from a replica or later conversion.

The M600 is identified by its Yamaha-derived 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 (rebuilt by Motorkraft with Garrett turbos), a six-speed Graziano transaxle with twin-plate clutch, carbon-fibre bodywork on a stainless-steel tub with tubular spaceframe, 335/30 ZR20 rear Michelins, Alcon brakes and a red-faced three-position boost selector (Road 450 hp, Track 550 hp, Race 650 hp). It has no ABS or stability control, and the traction control can be defeated with a fighter-jet-style switch cover. Early prototypes carried glassfibre bodies.
