Noble M 600: English a 650-hp

Noble is a small studio located in the English Leichestershire that produces extreme sports cars, no frills whatsoever. The latest creation of this little company called M 600, a sports car with 650 hp made at the end of 2009, but not yet put on the market because of its difficult gestation and some financial problems that have plagued the automaker in Barwell .

Finally, the uncertainties of the factory of the channel seem to end with the start of production of M 600, which took place in these days, which will be handed out to wealthy customers starting from early April. Aesthetically similar to some European sports super, Noble M 600 has a sleek coupe and a two-seat configuration, with a carbon fiber body combined with a tubular steel frame.

Under the hood lurks a powerful 4.4 liter V8 Ford source, equipped with twin turbochargers and produced in collaboration with the English House Cosworth and Japan's Yamaha. The engine was installed centrally - close to the seats - positioned lengthwise and spread the beauty of 650 hp and 834 Nm, assisted by a manual six-speed transmission.

One of the characteristics of this engine is the ability to adjust the power (via a rotary knob located on the console) in three different steps: 450, 550 and 650 hp. In most handsome setting, the M 600 is capable of accelerating from 0 to 100 km / h in just 3 seconds and 200 km / h arriving after 9 seconds.

Particular attention has been given to adopting some aerodynamic solutions have already seen on the McLaren F1 and of overcoming, albeit slightly, the wall of 360 km / h (362 mph). The incredible performance must be excellent power to weight ratio that characterizes the car. The house is about a 1 hp 1.96 kg each, for a total weight of 1,274 kg, obtained through massive use of carbon fiber that plays well to hold the body together with the soft suede, almost entirely in the interior of English sports.

Although it is a tough sport and raw, the M 600 is moving forward in some accessories like electric windows and central locking, air conditioning, a satellite navigation system and stereo system with MP3-CD player, all performed strictly standard. The car will be produced, at least for the time being, only 50 pieces up to 650 hp sold at a price that will be approximately € 230,000.
