From TopGear last night:

"First there was the M10, then the M2, and now Noble has unleashed its latest beauty, the M15. With 450bhp, a 0-60mph time of 3.9 seconds and a top speed of 196mph, the M15 is certainly no slouch, and it leaves Hammond grinning from ear to ear after he takes it on the track."

I believe the relevant lap times of the TopGear track are:

  • Porsche 911 (996) GT3RS - 1:22.3
  • Ferrari 360 CS - 1:22.3
  • Corvette Z06 - 1:22.4
  • Noble M15 - 1:22.5
  • Ferrari F430 - 1:22.9

So all this talk about the 997 Turbo vs F430 vs Z06, we now have a new contender, and at Pounds75k it's about the price of a Carrera S X51.
