You're probably thinking, ‘hang on a second, that's not new, Jeremy tested it in 2009'?
Yes. Jeremy did test the M600 in 2009. But that, dear readers, was a prototype. This, according to Noble, is the final, production-ready supercar set to give the automotive aristocracy a kick up the splitter.

Quick stats - a 4.4-litre Volvo/Yamaha V8 produces three power outputs depending on how many Weetabix you've had that morning. The ‘Road' setting gives you 450bhp, ‘Track' bumps it up to 550bhp, and ‘Race' commands 650bhp. Each increases the boost curve and throttle response.
It weighs 1,250kgs, and with the Stig-switch applied (650bhp) gives around 530bhp-per-tonne, prompting the inevitable headline-grabbing reference to something Bugatti-shaped and fast...
Noble reckons it'll hit 120mph from rest in 8.9 seconds and go on to an estimated 225mph, making it quite a handy bit of kit.
The tub is made from stainless sheet steel, it's mid-engined and rear-wheel-drive and, though prices haven't been confirmed, will probably cost something in the region of £200,000.
Now remind yourself what our Jeremy thought when he gave it a shoeful...

That's a major excuse to drive it again in the show, isn't it? Spot the differences! You just got to love Noble: they only make specialists' sportscars that scare the seams off your underwear, then they make them look like any ole Escort with added go-faster plastics from the shop next door.

Its just one of my absolut favorites... It combines everything that is not out there right now. Powerful power to weight ratio... stig shift... no computer messing and and and. However, I miss the Led lamps which would be really nice and ceramic breaks? Or are there ceramic breaks? And they culd shed some more weight.

Megachimp, tell me you're sarcastically correcting his spelling of Brakes and that you have in fact heard of the long-established ceramic brakes...
