Noble M600 – 650 PS
about Evo
Noble, the British small series car manufacturer, produced the handcrafted Noble M600 between 2011 and 2016. The car was a two-seat two-seat coupe and followed the British sports car mantra that made small, light cars with massive engines. For this reason Noble built a 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 mid-engine from Yamaha into the predominantly carbon fiber body, which weighs a total of 1.2 tons. The resulting power-to-weight ratio is better than that of the Bugatti Veyron.
