Noble is a low production British sports car company, which currently produces the M12-GTO3R, Noble M400 and the Noble M15. The M12 and M400 are essentially the same, but with different engines, suspension, etc., while the M15 has a new space frame chassis. The body of the Noble is built to a very high standard by Hi-Tech Automotive in Port Elizabeth, South Africa along side Superformance cars. Once the body shell is completed, it is sent to the Noble factory where the engines, suspension, etc are added. The only place new Noble vehicles are available in the United States is 1G Racing, located in Ohio.
Noble Cars is an independent low production British sports car company which currently produces the M12-GTO3R, Noble M14 and the Noble M400. All the cars are essentially the same with different engines, different suspension etc.
The company was founded by Lee Noble, who is the designer and chief designer at Noble, in 1999. The first car, the M12 was fitted with a 2.5 V6 from the sports version of the Ford Mondeo. Noble added twin turbochargers to raise the power to 310bhp. The M12 was greatly congratulated by the magazines who tested it on its handling, styling and performance.
