500 Horsepower Noble M15 Cometh

noble-m15-001.jpg

Noble’s trackday star, the M15, is getting a horsepower upgrade.

While the current car’s 455-horsepower/455 pound-feet of torque was certainly nothing to sneeze at, the British firm has apparently been hard at work on the twin-turbo V-6, looking to extract a full 500 horsepower. The current car’s drivetrain was enough to propel the car to 60 miles-per-hour in 3.3 seconds, so it was hardly a moving chicane, but we reckon there’s something compelling about a nice, round number like “500.

Turbo lag?

"Turbo lag?"
Depends on the displacement of the motor and the size of the turbo's.

A 100,000 (British pounds) kit car.

No thanks.

Ath.

1. It's not a kit car
2. The V6 is a ford 3.0, this engine is build by cosworth.
3. Almost all replica cars are sold by noble
4. It can kick a lot of cars, its handling is superb.
5. Well..., just look at it!

Uh, isn't this thing shipped in two crates?

One for the completed car...the other holding the engine?

I'd heard it takes about 40 hrs to combine the two.
