The
Noble M15 supercar is a development of the Noble M14 concept from 2004. Both cars use a 3.0 litre
twin-turbo V6, although the power output of the M15's unit is
455 bhp, 55 more than the M14's. The 0-60 time was also improved,
by exactly one second. The Noble M15 is designed to compete
with the likes of Lamborghini's Gallardo and the Ferrari F430. Below is the press release for the
Noble M15.
The M15 represents a whole new philosophy and takes the core
values of dynamic excellence, lightweight engineering, value-for-money
and blistering performance to a whole new level of comfort,
refinement and everyday usability.
At a cost of less than $130,000 the Noble M15 sits well above
other cars in the Noble range. With 455 bhp and 455 lb-ft of
torque, it's also the most powerful production car to leave
the factory, capable of hitting 60 mph from standstill in an
epic 3.3 seconds and a top speed of 185 mph. It is, therefore,
a credible and more exclusive alternative to other supercars
costing well in excess of $200,000.
Despite its destructive power, the Noble M15 remains one of
the least intimidating supercars on the markets thanks to prodigious
levels of grip and a forgiving chassis. After all, it's still
a Noble, but it's the most spectacular machine to emerge for
Barwell and may prove the definitive British supercar.
Noble M15's Exterior Design
The M15 boasts immense road presence, yet is only 7 inches longer
and 1 inch wider that the M12 at 166.5 and 74.3 inches respectively.
It remains a light machine at slightly more than 2700 lbs, lightweight
engineering is a part of Noble's DNA.
Yet despite the M15's compact dimension, the M15 is a spacious,
luxurious car with room for luggage, astonishing crash protection
and a chassis that is significantly stiffer than any Noble before
it. This is a luxurious sports car with dragon-slaying performance
as standard.
The Noble M15's Interior
Prepare to change your perception of Noble. The M15 is an irresistible
place to sit, with tactile surfaces, the aroma of quality materials,
comfort and all that important space.
That's not just in the cockpit. The M15 has 300 liters of luggage
space divided between two compartments at the front and rear,
making the M15 a practical daily driver.
Beautifully trimmed in high-grade Italian leather, the bespoke
carbon-fiber framed seats have deep cushions, crafted side bolsters
and integrated head restraints designed to keep you secure at
speed and comfortable on a long journey. The M15 represents
more than a hard charger, it's a car for continental cruising.
A new steering column in adjustable for rake and reach, provides
the perfect driving and the four-spoke, leather trimmed steering
wheel is designed for comfort as well as razor-sharp response.
An uncluttered dashboard highlights the vital information, the
rev counter and speedo neatly housed in an integrated binnacle
and the needle changes color as the revs soar.
