The Noble M600 (2010-2018) is a hand-built British supercar manufactured by Noble Automotive in Leicestershire, England, representing the pinnacle of founder Lee Noble’s vision for lightweight, driver-focused performance. Unveiled at the 2009 Goodwood Revival and produced from 2010 to 2018, the M600 succeeded the M15 and was designed to rival hypercars like the Ferrari F40 and McLaren F1, offering raw power and minimal electronic interference. Available in three variants—standard (fiberglass body), CarbonSport (full carbon-fiber body), and Speedster (targa-top)—it gained fame for its blistering performance and Top Gear accolades, including a 1:17.7 lap time on their test track, outpacing the Pagani Zonda F Roadster and Bugatti Veyron.The M600 is powered by a 4.4L (4,414 cc) twin-turbocharged Yamaha-built Volvo B8444S V8 engine, modified by Motorkraft in the US with Garrett AiResearch turbochargers and a MoTeC M190 ECU. It offers three power settings via a dashboard switch: 450 hp (Road, 0.6 bar), 550 hp (Track, 0.8 bar), and 650 hp (Race, 1.0 bar) at 7,000 rpm, with 604 lb-ft (819 Nm) of torque at 3,800 rpm. Paired with a 6-speed Oerlikon Graziano manual transaxle (later optional semi-automatic), it drives the rear wheels through a Torsen limited-slip differential, achieving 0-60 mph in 3.0 seconds, 0-120 mph in 8.9 seconds, and a top speed of 225 mph (362 km/h, proven at 215 mph due to runway limits). Its power-to-weight ratio of 558 hp/tonne places it in hypercar territory. The car’s chassis combines a lightweight tubular steel space frame with aluminum panels, overlaid with carbon-fiber bodywork (fully carbon in the CarbonSport variant), resulting in a curb weight of 1,250 kg (2,756 lbs, tested at 1,305 kg). The double-wishbone suspension with adjustable coil springs and anti-roll bars ensures razor-sharp handling, while Alcon steel brakes (395 mm front, 380 mm rear) with six-piston (front) and four-piston (rear) calipers provide excellent stopping power, though the absence of ABS reflects its purist ethos. Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires (255/30 ZR19 front, 335/30 ZR20 rear) enhance grip, and a front splitter, rear diffuser, and adjustable wing generate significant downforce for high-speed stability. The interior is minimalist yet luxurious, featuring twin-hide leather or Alcantara upholstery, gloss carbon-fiber trim, and bespoke instrumentation. Buyers could customize with leather, suede, Alcantara, knurled wood, or carbon-fiber trim, alongside wool carpeting. The adjustable steering column and driver’s seat, with offset pedals tailored to the owner, prioritize ergonomics. A highlight is the power control knob, inspired by Ferrari’s Manettino dial, allowing drivers to toggle power settings, paired with a traction control switch under a Tornado fighter jet-style flip cover. The absence of climate control and infotainment reinforces its driver-focused design, evoking the Ferrari F40’s simplicity. Priced at £200,000 (~$250,000-$300,000 USD), the M600 was hand-built by a team of 20 artisans, with production limited to fewer than 50 units, ensuring high exclusivity. Its media exposure, including Top Gear reviews by Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond, who praised its “sheer speed” and “sharp handling,” and appearances in Forza Horizon and The Crew (notably the “Lunar Roads Ed.”), cemented its cult status. Despite a clutch failure incident on Top Gear, its redemption through performance accolades and a 215 mph run on Top Gear USA added to its lore. The M600’s raw, unfiltered driving experience makes it a compelling addition to a collection celebrating automotive purity.
