Very interesting - saw this on Autocar this morning.
Hardcore in extremis. So, a Volvo sourced 4.4 litre V8 eh? I gather that's the Yamaha co-developed unit? Brutal, squared off looking with minimal concessions to creature comfort. Notice how very shallow the sideglass area is - like looking out of a postbox slot! Don't care much for the stupidly shaped pedals - their Zonda-aping elliptical shape is at odds with the abrupt, squared off lines of the car. Rectangular pedals are so much better to use...

They are not aping Zonda, it is MINI they have taken a good look at
I like the look of the rear of the car, looks like an old school Ferrari.

The engine is powered by Volvo
Nine years and two canned projects after the brilliant M12 burst onto the scene, Noble is back! And this time the British sports car maker is setting its sights even higher.
These are the first official images of the M600, a 650bhp, 225mph, £200,000 hypercar which takes the fledgling manufacturer deep into uncharted territory populated by some of the fastest and most focused models on the market, including the Ferrari 430 Scuderia and Lamborghini Murcielago LP640-4.
Gone is the Ford-sourced twin-turbo V6 from the M12 and in its place is a larger 4.4-litre Volvo V8 unit, again fitted with twin blowers to give the M600 a power to weight ratio of almost 600bhp per tonne.
Performance is expected to be on a par with the fastest road car in the world - 0-60mph in 3.0 seconds and 0-100mph in 6.5 seconds should be enough to show anything this side of a Bugatti Veyron a clean pair of heels.
For those that don’t fancy all-out attack mode, all of the time, a three-stage ECU lets you choose between 450, 550 or the full 650bhp output from the engine. And if you’re brave enough to ditch electronic assistance altogether, the toggle used is a missile launch switch from a Tornado fighter plane.
Deliveries of the M600 should start as early as November this year, while the car will make its public debut at the Goodwood revival on 19-21 September.
