sti-04!!

Would you ??

Missed the price i gather its around 55k

Looks good for what it is, though was disappointed at the rear end. Trying to copy the 360 CS i assume.

Quite right on the rear end, looks like the designer was working front to back and then realised he had to be home for his tea when he got past the door.

Hi
Try nearer £70K!
Cheers!

£75k OTR. Nav and paint are extras but I am sure they would throw it in FOC.

The back looks nothing like a 360 CS, they just haven't finished designing it thats why there wasn't many shots from the rear

I sat in that actual car at the motor show and it is a beast, interior is really nice. Although i prefer the dials of the M12, you can see they are heading for a different market and it's more "grown up" in there!

The interior looked awfull! I would rather spend my £75k on something else. New GT3 anyone?

dpb

Just seen the repeat the rear 1/2 indeed looks 'heavy'.?...somehow

i guess there are in fact plenty rich 'individuals' who are willing to be different - and judging by the development invested mybe theyll make a few bob...

Thats alot of money for a car with a mondeo engine in

Copy cats have nicked the RX7 Veilside car.

The Chief

I thought the later ones were the Ford Maverick still who gives a toot when they perform like this

leonpoole

I thought that too. There is to many similarities to the veilside fortune RX7 for it to be a coincidence. Plus the rear lights actually look like they are from an RX

Beefy

Great car, wanted an M12 before, now I want an M15!!

carl

Would be more tempted by the Marcos TSO, TBH.

carl

If you read this month's Evo you'll find the new Marcos chassis is by Prodrive. Styling is by Damian McTaggart, who did the Cerbera. It's a totally new company using the Marcos name.

Gav

So much you don't know..

Noble



RX7

carl

Didn't see it on TG but probably. £50k base price, but the options are all pretty dear so I reckon around £60k once you've added the essentials (leather, air, upgrade to 460bhp...)

Whoops reading too fast. Replied to wrong question

Dracoro

Porsche had **** interiors for many years, didnt affect their sales too much.


Noble looks like a great car. Problem is many people don't have much imagination and go for the default car (911) as they don't have the guts to go for something a bit more unusual.

carl

I haven't seen the M15's interior, but the problem with the earlier Nobles was that you could recognize the instruments from the Demon Tweeks catalogue. Not good.

Part of the "default car" (911) argument is resale values, too. Stump up £50-70k on a Noble or a Marcos and who knows what it'll be worth in 12-24 months' time? 911 resale values, whilst not rock solid, are predictable. And who can afford to lose £25k on a car in 24 months? Certainly not me!

"Ah i see. Don't read evo anymore, went off it a couple of years ago when it went down hill fast."

Right on Nat! FINALLY someone else agrees about evo!!! It has gone down like the space shuttle after the main booster rocket has exploded.

BArker and Meaden are great drivers however Barker is the one who knows how to actually write in the CURRENT tense. (everyone else there writes in the much simpler and easier Past and general tense: "car X was poised and key into the road giving me lots of confidence to press on Blah blah".

Barker writes (whoops thats "wrote") about what actually happens as he press's a car down a particular curve- including how progressive the breakaway is, how controllable it is, wheel travel, the steering's feedback, the predicability it gives on next roads etc. But now Evo's lone descriptor doesn't test many cars any more and further isn't much into writing any more. Most tests are done by the much less experienced new guy along with some of the evo "friends and photographers" posse.

davegtt

If you can afford a 70k car you can afford to lose 25k on the value of it surely. its only about 30% of its overall value, your expected to lose than on most cars you buy when you drive it off the forecourt.

carl

You really have no idea about the people who buy 911s, do you? Do you think they all earn £500k a year and can afford to lose £25k like you or I would drop a 10p? Most cars like that are bought on finance by people who hope to realize a relatively low cost of ownership come resale time.
