📰 Auto News Noble Teases New ZR1-Powered Supercar

[Mook]

Think Lee Noble's sitting around twiddling his thumbs after the Noble M12? No! So what's he doing next? Designing a Corvette ZR1 LS9-powered, 2,645lb supercar to replace it, naturally. These are the first teaser images from Fenix Automotive.

Of course, if you put doilies on coffee tables and iron your underwear, you don't have to buy this new car with the supercharged 638 HP GM monster mill, a sedate 480 HP version of the LS3 motor will also be available for you pansies out there.

Noble says this new car will be an evolution of the M12 and provide a greater degree of focus on quality and drama. Noble will start development in South Africa in about a month. Targeted performance is 0-to-100 MPH in seven seconds and a top speed in the neighborhood of 200 MPH. We'll be waiting, Mr. Noble.

Top Gear tested a Noble M600 a few episodes ago and it was fast as hell. This should be slightly faster since it's lighter.
