    Noble Is Back With 550 HP (410 kW) M500 Supercar

    Noble revealed the M600 way back in 2009 and now the striking new Noble M500 is here as the British supercar maker’s long-awaited follow-up.

    The model was first shown as a concept at the 2018 Goodwood Festival of Speed and has now developed into this working prototype since. The M500 is a cheaper and less powerful car than the Noble M600 that it effectively replaces as the company’s sole offering.

    Testing has started with first customer deliveries to take place this year.

    Powering the M500 is a twin-turbocharged 3.5-litre Ford V6, as found in their Ford GT supercar. The engine delivers a tad over 500 hp as standard but Noble intends to crank it up to 550 hp (410 kW) when it hits the market aiming the M500 at cars like the Porsche 911 Turbo as well as the Chevrolet Corvette C8.

    To lower costs, the M500 sports a new glass-reinforced composite body but underneath, the steel tubular chassis is “70% M600”, according to Peter Boutwood, Noble’s managing director.

    The only gearbox option is a Graziano-sourced six-speed manual with a metal gate and shift action unique to Noble.

    The images you see here showcase what is virtually the final design, subject to high-speed testing.

    Noble hasn’t accepted any orders yet, because it hasn’t set a final price, but sales and marketing chief Kim Grouse told Autocar that “we want to make it as accessible as we can”.

    Boutwood would like to do better with the M500 to the tune of up to 50 cars per year. That would still be modest compared with mainstream rivals but “would be mass production for us”, he said.

    • First time seeing the new Bentley Bentayga S in the metal and wow it is striking.

Those 22" wheels look superb, especially in this spec.

Starts from R4,695,000 and that gets you a twin-turbo V8 delivering 542 hp (404 kW) and 770 Nm of torque.

    • #MercedesAMGMonday done right with the brutal AMG GT Black Series recently snapped by @matts_cars_za for @amg_driving_academy_za 😎

This is the first time a GT Black Series has been shot on track in SA and potentially the first time one has posed with the slightly less hardcore AMG GT R Pro.

    • It has been quite some time since this Koenigsegg CCXR was seen in South Africa but it made an appearance today and @thecarscene_ managed to snap it in Cedar, Fourways.

As far as we know, there are only 2 Eggs in SA. This one and an orange CCX in East London which has also not been seen in quite some time.
