[QUOTE]Nobel will equip its M15 with a version of the 4.4L V8 found in the Volvo XC90, a new report finds. Past Nobles have used a twin-turbo version of Ford's 3.0L Duratec V6, but the new M15 will use a twin-turbo V8 instead

One of the guys that we Auto-X with has a Noble m400. I got to sit in it and instruct him. It was nice.

Is it just me or does this M15 look a bit too much like a kit car?

Not too fond of the headlights on the M15.

one cool thing that i like about this car is the gauge/needle turns from blue to red when you hit redline.

Well, in the US they are all considered kit cars. You buy the chassis from the company but you have to supply the motor.

The M400 at least has impeccable fit and finish. I honestly expected that it would look terrible on the inside or at least have that lotus elise "OMG underneath it's made out of tape, plastic and foil" thing going on but it's all really top quality. It was a huge surprise.

Yep, seen one up close a few months back, It's pretty awesome. This new one is a bit wierd on the outside though.
