Scheduled to start production by the new Noble "M500"

Rivals are Corvette and 911

Noble, a British supercar maker, announced the M500 since the M600, which appeared in 2009 and was well received.

The M500, which was unveiled as a concept at the 2018 Goodwood Festival of Speed in 2018, and has been developing steadily, is expected to be replaced by this as a cheaper and lower output model than the M600.

The final test with a prototype has just begun, but Noble says that the first one will be delivered this year.

The new M500, like the M600, is a two -seater supercar with a steel chassis with a middleship.However, instead of Volvo's V8 twin turbo, a 3.5L V6 twin turbo mounted on the Ford GT is used.

According to the standard, the engine generates just over 500ps and nearly 83kg-m, while noble intends to put the M500 into the market at about 550ps.

The M600 demonstrated 660ps in the maximum boost setting, making it one of the most powerful supercars at the time.The 550ps M500 will be a sports type model that contains the new Chevrolet Corvette C8 and Porsche 911 Turbo S.

Developed based on the previous M600

The body is not a carbon but a new glass fiber enhanced composite material, aiming to reduce costs.However, according to Peter Bootwood, Noble Managing Director, the steel pipe chassis under the body is "70 % M600."

The M500 is almost the same size as the M600, and the width is only a few mm, but it has been redesigned to ensure a larger space.Bootwood predicts that the riding comfort and handling are "close to the M600" because the basic design of chassis and suspension is very similar.

The suspension is a double wishbone, with coil over spring and passive damper on the front and back.It is equipped with hydraulic power steering, but is not equipped with anti -lock brakes and airbags.

The transmission is only a 6 -speed manual made by Graciano, and the metal gate and the shift action are unique.

The cabin has two recalo podium sheets, and although the pedals are slightly offset, it is a preferred driving position.The meter has a simple digital type.Redigating the chassis has reduced the door silicy, making it easier to get on and off than the M600.

At the moment, it is a prototype, but the fit and finish of the inner and exterior panels are extremely good.
