Noble M500 shown at Goodwood FOS

Unveiled at Goodwood, pricing TBC, less than the current M600's £300k tag though

Personally love the front and hope the back grows on me lol

It does look great but at the same time it also looks a bit cheap, but maybe its a prototype.

They say it won't be 50k, but it also won't be 300k but will be a triple figure, I just feel even if they hit say 100k that seems too expensive for a car with a 3l V6 twin turbo that is unproven, just feel for the 90-150k price tag there are much better options that are also super cool.

Be nice to see another British brand do epic but I have my doubts this will succeed.

Looks like something out of GTA, although that's by no means a bad thing. To my eye, one of the best looking things I've seen in a while.

Dunno why but the rear just reminds of a old Porsche 928. Front looks spot on.

Same Ford engine as used by the GT and F150 apparently so as proven as it gets.

Not the same, they use a 3.5l V6, this is a 3.0l, but we shall see but a V6 does not excite me in such a car to be honest.

Just saw the mention on TG website. Autocar suggested otherwise. Odd.

Does look a bit plastic.

Yaayuh! · 13 Jul 2018 at 08:42

As with all Nobles, on paper it'll be bloody brilliant. But you've got to be in it with passion to own one IMO.

This one has a very McLaren look to it.

Iron-man · 13 Jul 2018 at 09:50

looks a very nice car

Housey · 13 Jul 2018 at 10:56

It is not going to do anything sadly. It will be expensive and a parts bin special. Sure, nice to drive, but still not worth the money.

Non working model currently with no interior etc so probably won't see something until late 2019 really.

I do worry though that they're going to end up priced against a Mclaren and won't win that fight. Do think it would fare well vs the new TVR mind but can see this being priced a good few £10,000's above the TVR

Will it be better than a lotus evora 400/410/430 though.

daz · 13 Jul 2018 at 12:50

Not a bad looker but can't see why you'd have this rather than an Evora, 911, R8, 540C...?

Dunks · 13 Jul 2018 at 13:11

I didn't notice the 'Noble' part of the thread title, only looking at the thread a second time did I realise it was not a McLaren

The evora is ungainly looking, and the r8 and 911 aren't exclusive enough for some.

HoneyBadger · 13 Jul 2018 at 21:08

Reminds me of the new NSX - Anyone else see it?

Lovely looking car though.

crinkleshoes · 13 Jul 2018 at 22:00

I really don't like the look of it in pictures... looks like they forgot to put the front bumper on.

Oh well, see it in the flesh tomorrow.

SarGara · 14 Jul 2018 at 19:49

I'm just happy to see an more affordable Noble even if I'm not quite sold on the mismatch of designs they've taken inspiration from. Be interesting to see at what price point they aim it at in the market.
