	2005 Noble M14 Car Wallpaper & Specifications
		The British Noble M14 is set to take on rivals, such as the Porsche 911 Turbo and Ferrari 360 Modena, with a tantalising mix of class-leading dynamics, prodigious performance, a finely crafted and well equipped cabin, and levels of practicality that will appeal to owners who wish to use their car every day.
		Noble has chosen again to adopt a highly-modified version of Ford’s 3.0-litre V6, mated to a six-speed manual gearbox, for use in the M14.
		Noble’s key objective when designing the control layout of the M14, was to allow the driver to focus on the road ahead, and not on a plethora of switches outside of his/her peripheral vision.

	Noble (car) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Noble Moy Automotive Ltd., more commonly known simply as Noble, is a British car manufacturer that builds sports cars.
		It was established, in 1999, by Lee Noble in Barwell, Leicestershire, for producing high-speed sports cars with a MR drivetrain layout.
		All the cars are essentially the same, but with different engines, suspension etc. The body of the Noble is built to a very high standard by Hi-Tech Auto in Port Elizabeth, South Africa.

		Great emphasis is often placed on handling—the ability of the driver to remain in control of the car under challenging conditions such as when the car's tires begin to lose their grip on corners.
		A large, powerful engine is not required; many of the early British sports cars lacked a powerful engine and did not accelerate as quickly as, say, muscle cars, but were known for having exceptional handling characteristics due to their combination of light weight, carefully engineered/balanced chassis and innovative suspension designs.
		Often vehicles in the muscle car, performance sedan/saloon or grand tourer (GT) category are referred to as sports cars even though they tend to lack the light weight and excellent handling characteristics of a true sports car.

	Independent, The (London): Motoring: Noble's formula for success
		Noble is that heart-warming thing, a success story from nowhere, a vindication of the small-scale over the corporate, a mix of synergy and serendipity.
		Noble is one of Britain's cottage-industry specialist sports-car builders, but unlike some others it has not over-reached itself and it develops its cars properly.
		This car fits like the metaphorical latex glove; I am slightly reclined, the steering wheel is near enough for full control but far enough away not to cramp my moving arms, and the pedals' heights and arcs of movement are just right.

	A Noble sports car - Motoring - CARSguide
		A cad, as far as Lee Noble is concerned, is the type of bounder who would impugn a lady's honour, or skip out on a round down at the local.
		The Nobles arrive at the Leicestershire works as a fully-trimmed rolling chassis ready for Noble and his crew to add suspension, drivetrain and the hugely-worked Ford 3.0-litre V6 twin-turbo which gives the cars their super performance -- 0-100km/h in 3.7 seconds.
		The Noble's steering is razor sharp and there is so much information coming back through the hydraulic power-assisted rack and pinion system it is a positive chatterbox.

		Lee Noble hit the specialist sports car market in the late '90s, and the M12 GTO-3R is the culmination of his artistry and understanding of automobiles and their market.
		As editor of KIT CAR, I have been espousing the need for kit cars, component cars, and specialty cars to pay attention to their interiors, as the exteriors are already honed to perfection.
		The car is road sticky and smooth handling, and its and Lee Nobel's racing background certainly are envisioned and experienced when you are behind the wheel of this street-legal and track-worthy supercar.

		Noble’s continual aim to produce cars with a supreme dynamic ability is certain to be accomplished with the M15 featuring a combination of all-round double wishbone suspension and coil springs.
		The chassis itself is the result of extensive development, Noble claiming the M15’s chassis as 57% stiffer than that of the acclaimed M12.
		Noble openly admits it’s entering a very tough market, but if the M15 lives up to its performance figures and delivers its dynamic claims, and given the brilliance of the M12 we’ve little reason to doubt them, the M15 should be a success.

		The touring car race in which Noble cars have earned such a reputation in the past few years was this year the final round of the World Touring Car Championship, and the GR Asia team had high hopes of securing the Independents World Championship with lead driver Tom Coronel.
		Noble Group’s regular Macau ace Simon Harrison was at the wheel of a Honda Accord, and whilst a practice accident had seen him start much further down the grid than he justified, he was well set for a top placing when once again the walls of the Macau circuit caught him out.
		From the moment the car arrived in Macau resplendent in the striking yellow and white Noble Group racing colours, Harrison and the team were the centre of attention, being fastest in the first qualifying session and finally taking third place on the grid in a world class field.

	Rental Cars Information - Budget, National, Insurance
		Renting a car can be a frustrating experience if the consumer does not have a basic understanding of rental car terms, fees and insurance.
		Rental cars have become a commodity, and when you’re buying a commodity, price should be one of your main considerations.
		If you are open to car preference, do not need the latest and greatest vehicle, and/or have the more time to check your vehicle out of the lot, you may want to consider renting from a lesser known company.

		From the M14’s conception, Noble has focused on creating a form that eschews current design trends, and majors on a far more emotive shape, led by broad, sweeping curves along the car’s flanks, an aggressive front treatment and a graceful—yet imposing—rear end.
		Noble has chosen again to adopt a highly-modified version of Ford’s 3.0-liter V6, mated to a six-speed manual gearbox, for use in the M14.
		Noble’s key objective when designing the control layout of the M14, was to allow the driver to focus on the road ahead, and not on a plethora of switches outside of his peripheral vision.

	Noble - New and Used Cars for Sale - Kerridges
		Both cars in the M12 range seem to manage the impossible: they are as adept at stringing together the most taxing of open road bends with a flourish as they are crawling along the broken and gnarled streets you'll find in most major cities.
		The Noble's seering is sensitive enough to inspire driver confidence at speed, but is able to filter out much of the kickback on poorer surfaces while doing so.
		And the Noble's 2.0-litre V6 twin-turbocharged engine is as placid and user-friendly as a super-mini's - that is until you put your foot down to release the huge reserves of low to mid-range power which make overtaking and driving on twisty, country roads an effortless affair.

		Noble Cars UK uses a 3.0-liter 352 hp version for the Noble® M12 GTO-3R in the UK.
		With this drivetrain the Noble® GTO-3R is capable of going 0-60mph in 3.7 seconds, 0-100mph in 8.8 seconds, a quarter mile in 11.9 seconds, and has a lateral grip of 1.156g with street tires.
		The new Noble® M400 has recieved the prestigious award of Britains best driver's car by Autocar Magazine UK (July 27 2004, see Autocar review), competing with the likes of the Lambhorgini Gallardo, Porche 911 GT 3RS, Lotus Elise, Aston Martin DB9, and many others.

		The Noble has tremendous grip like track cars - the only road car matching it is Lotus Exige - thanks to that 225 front and 265 rear tyres which are undoubtedly very wide for a car weighing less than a tone.
		I said Noble is a good cross-country machine because 2 British magazines took it to Europe and commented favourably - CAR drove it to Germany to meet Porsche GT2 at Weissach; Autocar drove it to Paris and then Monaco for Supercar Rally.
		Noble claims 0-60mph can be done in 3.5 seconds and 0-100mph in 8.0 seconds.

		Noble has witnessed the tuner car trend spread from its 1980s' roots in California to its reigning popularity in Fargo-Moorhead.

	Review \| Noble Norfleet by Reynolds Price
		Quite suddenly, Noble is without family and -- for a while at least -- is not even certain that he might not have done this terrible deed himself.
		When Noble meets Dell, the man is jovial and vaguely familiar: he reminds Noble of the father that left him years before.
		If, as I suspect, Noble did kill his brother and sister then spent the balance of his life lying to himself about it, it becomes a quite different book with subtleties so subtle that even most readers -- this one included -- won't be able to completely grasp all of it.

		Another important distinction between the Noble M400 and cartoon rocket roller skates is that the Noble is considerably better put together, even before it gets an engine.
		You see, in England there are special categories for small British carmakers like Noble to sell a whole car, but Uncle Sam has a bunch of pesky crash and environmental regulations that make certifying a car for sale prohibitively expensive for an owner or importer.
		Its feathery mass allows the Noble to change directions easily, and it's also the reason the suspension is, well, perfect.

	2004 Noble M400 Car Wallpaper & Specifications
		This 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.
		All Nobles are famed for their phenomenal roadholding, but the M400 raises the bar even higher.
