2012 Noble M600

February 1st, 2012

NobleOwnersClub

The ethos of the Noble M600 has developed from a small team passionate about driving. This evolved from our research of the available ‘supercars’ most of which lean heavily on computer assistance. The use of fashionable but often inefficient gear paddle shift, over assisted brakes and inopportune traction control have all become standard features of the modern day supercar.

We at Noble Automotive thought it time to break the mould, feeling that this now ubiquitous ‘digital’ driver assistance disengages and negates the driver experience and reward. We have experienced, when turning off these devices, that computer generated support can often cosmetically mask and flatter inferior chassis and handling characteristics. We decided that with the introduction of the Noble M600 it was time to ‘get back to basics’, to concentrate on the more ‘analogue’ qualities of design by utilising a principle of pure engineering integrity from the chassis up, putting the driver back in control.

The philosophy behind this radical and refreshing premise is best summed up by Peter Dyson, owner of Noble Automotive Limited: ‘Noble is a labour of love, of no compromises and of challenges fought. The car speaks for itself, and absolutely reflects what the Team and I envision a true drivers car should be. It is no question uniquely “out of sync” in today’s world, one overrun with cars that cannot make up their minds as to whether they want to be a car that rewards or a car that gives hollow praise by electronically ‘covering’ the errors.’

Designed and engineered with a purity that rewards driver skill, the Noble M600 is neither dictated to nor hindered by unnecessary computer assistance. It puts you back in the driving seat.

Put simply the Noble M600 is for those who love to drive…

Roush To Open Two Noble Service And Repair Centres

February 1st, 2012

NobleOwnersClub

Roush Technologies’ two advanced automotive engineering facilities – at Brentwood and Warwick, are to become Service and Repair Centres for Noble cars. The Brentwood operation will open on 27th August 2004 – Warwick will follow in a few weeks time. Both will offer a fully factory supported service and repair capability.

The move is part of the major restructuring of Noble’s sales and service organisation – and is seen as a natural development of the long established relationship between Roush and the British super-car manufacturer. All calibrations worldwide for the current road and race engines have been carried out by Roush, including the latest 425 bhp M400’s twin turbo V6 power unit.

Roush Vehicle Engineering Manager, Dave Jones says, ”By calling Roush, Noble customers will now have access to two of the best automotive engineering facilities in the country. We have some of the most experienced factory trained technicians in the business – who also, importantly, have a deep understanding of these very special cars”.

Roush is one of the world’s foremost automotive design, engineering and development groups and its client base includes many of the major vehicle manufacturers. In Europe, Roush Technologies’ activities include a diverse range of work from road going vehicle and component applications to specialist military requirements. Leading race and rally engine developer, Mountune Racing, is also part of Roush – and co-located at its Brentwood facility.

Roush can be contacted on 01277 261400 between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.

Superb Success For Noble

February 1st, 2012

NobleOwnersClub

Noble, the independent British specialist sports car manufacturer are a resounding success story at The Sunday Times Motor Show Live.

Since debuting onto the world stage at press day last week, orders for the new M14 have exceeded all expectation. Over 30 eager customers have already placed a deposit and are looking forward to receiving the new model in nine to twelve months.

Stewart Jones, Sales Director at Noble commented, `The show has been phenomenally successful for us on two counts. We have received extremely favourable press coverage whilst here and the number of genuine customers visiting the stand has been really impressive.’

The M14, which aims to firmly establish Noble at the quality end of the supercar market, join the M400 and M12.

Lead by founder, Managing Director and Chief Designer Lee Noble, the small company based in Barwell, Leicestershire, which only launched five years ago, employs 30 local specialist engineers to produce their finely crafted machines.

On what makes them successful Jones commented, `We completely involve our customers in the process of buying and owning a Noble. We like to invite them to come and collect their car from the factory and meet the team who built it. We offer a high level of after care and many of our customers have direct relationships with Lee and the rest of the team. I think it’s this personal service which keeps our clients loyal and happy.’

One such happy customer is London based company director Justin Fielding. He’s at the front of the queue to receive a new M14 having placed an order without even sitting in the car! Fielding had been pestering the Noble team for news of their new model for weeks. Jones, without revealing anything, told him to look in Auto Car last week for the first released information.

Fielding rushed to the newsagents on Tuesday morning to see details of the exciting new model and was on the phone to Jones by 7.30am, this time to place an order!

On being a Noble customer Fielding commented, `British design and engineering is really important to me. Noble always support their customers and provide an impeccable service. I’m delighted to be buying the new M14, now I just need to decide what colour to have it in!’

Thumping Demand For A Noble Name In Sportscars

February 1st, 2012

NobleOwnersClub

High performance manufacturer Noble has secured record orders at the Show, with nearly £2 million of sales in the bag.

The specialist sports car firm, based in Leicestershire, expects to have confirmed orders for 40 cars by the end of the NEC event. By this (Sunday, November 3) morning, 37 customers had signed on the line for one of the M12 GTO range, sales worth £1.8 million alone. And three more sales were expected to have been agreed by the end of Sunday afternoon, the final Show day. “We are delighted, because two years ago when we were here, we sold nine cars,” said Tony Moy, chairman of Noble Moy Automotive Ltd. Noble is making four of the Ford V6 powered cars a week, but aims to raise the production rate to six. Most customers are UK-based, with many already owners of prestigious high performance car marques, but Noble has also sold cars to an American enthusiast and an Italian customer. “We feel we’ve got the product absolutely right, in terms of build quality, handling and performance,” added Mr Moy. “We’re very focused on getting it right from a dealer and a customer perspective, and not getting distracted by things like going racing.” The M12 GTO range spans four cars, including the new M12 GTC convertible and the hard-core GTO-3T track car, which has extra power and a special sequential gearbox, but can still be used on the road.

Drop Top M12 Gets World Debut From Noble

February 1st, 2012

NobleOwnersClub

Noble Moy Automotive, the independent British carmaker, celebrated hitting its first ‘ton’ by unveiling no fewer than three variations of its M12 supercar at the 2002 British International Motor Show.

Noble, which first exhibited at the Show in 1998, has now produced 100 M12s, and the company’s already impressive forward order book is sure to be boosted by demand for its stunning new convertible, the M12 GTC, given its world debut at the Show. The car wowed onlookers at the Noble stand, and its creator Lee Noble was understandably delighted.

“We debuted the M12 at the British Motor Show two years ago, and again it’s the perfect launch platform to unveil our enhanced range,” he said.

Noble has thrived while some specialist manufacturers have struggled in recent times, and Lee Noble puts that down to a number of factors. “We gained enormous credibility – and profile – by establishing a dealer network across the UK. That was a very important step. But also I believe we genuinely fill a gap in the market with our cars, and we’re looking to the future rather than pushing outdated concepts.”

The drop-top M12 is joined at the NEC by the GTO-3 and GTO-3R models, all of which boast increased power compared with previous versions of the car, thanks to a twin-turbo 3-litre V6 powerplant that generates 340bhp.

The £51,500 GTO-3R becomes the top of the range Noble, featuring a full leather interior, improved soundproofing and unique lightweight alloy wheels. It goes on sale in the spring.

And if the already stunning performance of these M12s isn’t enough, next year a road-legal track car, the M12 GTO-3T will be available to special order for upwards of £65,000.
