Description

Renowned for its excellent power and handing, the Noble M400 is the track variant of the M12. It features a transversely mounted mid-engine format, featuring a retuned twin-turbo 3-liter Ford Duratec V6 with high-lift camshafts and improved fuel injection. With 425bhp, the M400 accelerates from 0-60 in 3.2 seconds according to automotive press outlets – a record that made it one of the fastest accelerating cars in the world. Noble itself claimed that the car hits 0-60 in only 4 seconds – and while that’s still a notable feat, it’s a modest assessment of the M400’s true capabilities. When driven by The Stig on the Top Gear Test Track, it impressively almost matched the Ford GT40’s lap time.
