Flashback ! Noble M600
I can hardly believe it's been over 9 years since I tried out this car.
You can read the full story here:
The reason I bring this up is I just found a very cool YouTube video about this car.
Apparently they gave it a new color as the license plate is the same ... or did someone crash it and they had to rebuild it ?
When I drove it, the max power was 650 hp, apparently that went up to 750 hp now 
.
.Check out the video at the end of this post, it's really worth watching.
Enjoy !

Actually I was wrong about the license plate !
I drove the orange M600 GB
The blue one is M600 RHD
And there's a red M600 LHD
Picture from my factory visit back in 2015.
Crazy to say the least :-)
Very docile in town, like a VW Golf but with a better view on the road and easier to get through traffic . That was just amazing for a car like this.
I tried all 3 power modes, the 450 hp felt like you were driving a AMG Mercedes, it didn't feel like 450 hp for such a light car.
The 550 hp mode was in a whole different league, on the highway speeds went up so fast, a true supercar !
At 650 hp it got a bit jerky when driving slow because of the throttle response I guess, once on the throttle it all got a bit too crazy and speeds weren't very far of the 200 mph mark I think. In the blink of an eye (maybe two) it got up to 160 170 mph , after that I kept accelerating without watching the dash. It didn't feel any slower that the 1199 Panigale I rode two days before to be honest.
Even after almost ten years I still get thrills when I think about this car.

Just Amazing
You describe it beautifully, what a crazy wonderful experience, such a rare and cool car, your experience reminded me of this
Does it bring back flashbacks?
I wonder....
what your opinion is of this brand new entry I posted here a few weeks ago....

It is very interesting
It is track only and they plan to introduce a street version of it in the future which I look forward to seeing.
Companies like Pagani and Koenigsegg which cater to EHNWI are attracting other teams which wish to capture some of that market but in my own experience there is a big element of luck and the stars aligning, for every success there are hundreds or thousands of failures. So time will tell. However I do admire them for trying and going for their dream.

Too much !
No doubt this will be one crazy experience .
But probably way too complex, to many lines, curves, spoilers, hightech etc, The Noble is in essence a 'simple' car. A Yamaha V8 prepared by Judd (famous for F1) and classic lines ... and a manual gearbox

edit:
I had a quick extra look and see there's a manual too, if only the design was a bit tamed down .. mmm , maybe I can start to like it if I can test it for a few weeks ;-)
There are indeed a lot more sensual cars.
But you know that this car is a 'one of a kind' car. There's really nothing like it these days.
We are very lucky to be able to enjoy this kind of cars. A species in way of disparition.
hahaha then do it and send it to Zagato to do a Zagato Edition Alpine with a double bubble carbon roof ;-)
Hahaha :-) he has good ideas and plus he is really cute also so I have no choice hahaha :-)
I always liked the M600 especially the Speedster, very nice review Video
