A lot of people have been waiting for quite some time and finally Noble unveils the new M600 ready to hit the production line. The British made sports car will have body made of carbonfiber and a 4.4: V8 twin turbocharged powerplant mounted in the middle. The engine sourced from Yamaha can give out a max of 650 horsepower while revving at 6,800 rpm and a torque of 604 lb-ft at 3,800 rpm. The power of the engine is transferred to the wheels through the six-speed Graziano manual transmission.The M600 comes with an APC or Adaptable Performance Control. The APC manages the power output, throttle response, traction, and boost curve. The system allows the driver to select different modes ifrom 650 hp down to 550 hp or 450 hp.
The M600 tips the scales at 1,200 kilograms or about 50 kilos lighter than the prototype model. This feature gives the car an excellent power-weight ratio of 520 hp per ton. Noble claims that the M600 can achieve 0 to 120 miles per hour in a matter of 8.9 seconds going to a top speed of about 225 mph or 362 kph.
A nice touch inside the driver’s cabin is the “missile switch” which controls the Traction Control.
The M600 is scheduled to go on sale before summer. We can expect the tag price to be announced near the date of the roll out.
