Noble Speaks Up About £100k, 650bhp Car That Will Deliver Enzo Performance

AUTOCAR across the pond is reporting that Lee Noble has a new car up his sleeve.

"Lee Noble has revealed his plans for a new closed-roof, mid-engined two-seater that will go on sale next year, have up to 650bhp and cost less than £100,000.

Noble, who left the company that bears his name in 2006, is now working on his new project, with the first car currently being assembled in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, by the same people who built the Noble M12."

The publication furthers on later in the piece with Noble saying:

“I always said I wanted to build a car with the performance of a Ferrari Enzo but for less than £100,000, and unless we do something badly wrong in the near future, that’s what we’ll deliver.”

So, will we get it here in the U.S.?

Enzo performance? Considering the Enzo was 3400 Pounds and this thing weighs less then 2500 that's like saying a Ducati 1098 R Bayliss LE superbike can deliver Nobel like performance at 364 lb and 180hp!

yea, well, theres more to performance than weight and HP. It will also be hard to top out at 218mph (another category of performance) at 2500lbs.
