Noble M400 Model (748 words)
This has led Noble Automotive to develop the M400, a car that takes full advantage of the scope left in the M12’s chassis and engine for drivers who seek even more focus in their performance and dynamics.
At £55,995, the M400 is not only one of the fastest production cars of its type, but its chassis – which in standard M12 form uniquely marries high-speed composure with low-speed ride compliance – has now been sharpened to give the driver even greater control of the car at speed.
Thanks to completely new, highly sophisticated dampers, the M400 has lost little of the M12’s ride quality, which means that it is still as usable as any other M12 on the public road.
