    New Noble M14 & GTC

    Pics and brief details of both these new Nobles can be found at www.pistonheads.com/noble/default.asp .

    What do y'all reckon? I have to say I'm definitely not convinced with the styling of the M14 GT car, it's extremely square and boxy from every angle. I prefer my GT cars sleek and elegant not sharp and angular, but I guess companies like Noble aren't really about following the rules. If you want to follow the rules buy a Porsche or Mercedes I guess.

    The GTC is far more palatable. It has the looks of the M12 GTO-3R but smoothed out somewhat. I'll have to see it with the soft-top on to decide whether I totally like it.

    Anyway, Noble cars are all about the driving experience at the end of the day. But it would be nice if they could come up with something truly gorgeous to look at and not just a car that amazes on a twisty road or track.

    It looks too boxy for me too. I absolutely adore all the other Noble models, but this new one is one I have to get used to I guess...

    The side profile looks amazing, but the front is too boxy.

    There needs to be a bit more of a radius to the leading edge of the bonnet (in plan view), and the front airdam could do with being raked back a few more degrees.

    Apart from that, it is stunning!
    Thanks for all the fish

    The official pictures for the M14 have now been released, and I must say it looks a darn sight better in these shots.

    The back end is looking very Lambo Murcielago in the shape of the curves and with the centrally mounted twin exhausts. Also, the rear lights look a bit Koenigsegg CC8S-ish with the bevelled alloy-looking rims to the circular lights. Still not entirely convinced of the boxy front-end but it's still looking mighty tasty.

    I think the rear end looks like a Lamborghini Murcielago, and I think it will be just as awesome! Great cars, good to see Noble producing more and more exciting cars...

    Hmmm £75,000

    Noble M14 - Mid engined (ex Ford Mondeo) Twin Turbo 3.0 V6 400bhp
    0-60 4.2
    top whack 190mph
    One of the best handling chassis on the market

    Or

    TVR Typhon - Front engined bespoke TVR supercharged straight 6 ~600bhp
    0-60 3.4
    top whack 232mph
    Not as good as the Noble, but better than most handling

    I'd go for the Typhon thanks

    this noble is a BEAST the new m400 can do 0-60 in 3.5 secs
    There is 3 people on a boat with loads of children running around it, the 3 people are: 1. Bob geldof, 2. Ozzy Osbourne, and 3. Micheal jackson, they're sailing out for the G8 live aid, they've hit a rock and they're sinking, bob says: "save the children!" ozzy says: "Fuc the children!"

    Micheal says "have we got time?"
