Noble M15


The Noble M15 is a new supercar designed and developed by Noble Automotive, a high-performance sports car manufacturer based in Leicestershire.

Production began in early 2006 . It was designed to compete directly with the Porsche 911 Turbo and the Ferrari F430. Because of this, the car has some features that were not previously found on Nobles such as satellite Navigation, Traction control, Electronic windows, and Anti-lock Breaks

The car is based on a brand new platform with a longitudinally mounted engine. The double wishbone suspension is a development of the system mounted on the M400. The mounting allowed the engine designers to increase the cooling flow to the engine which allows the 3 liter twin turbo to produce 455 horsepower.

The engine meets European emission standards and the new steel/aluminium space frame has been designed with a view to passing crash test regulations around the world. This car is planned to be the first Noble to gain both European and US type approval.
