In the early 2000s, the British sports car scene was vibrant and exhilarating, with iconic models from TVR and other manufacturers capturing the imagination of car enthusiasts. Amidst this fervour, Noble Automotive, founded by the brilliant Lee Noble, emerged as a formidable contender. With the release of the M12 in 2003, Noble made a bold statement. But it was the M400, introduced later, that truly elevated the brand to legendary status.
The motoring press celebrated this car with raptures, featuring not in comparison tests against its domestic kin, but against the continental thoroughbreds in the mould of the Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale and Porsche 911 GT3. Many saw it as the true successor to the fabled Lotus Esprit.
The Noble M400 is not just a car; it’s a statement of engineering prowess and raw power. Building on the success of its predecessors, the M400 features a meticulously enhanced 3.0-litre twin-turbocharged Ford V6 engine. With forged pistons, high-lift cams, and upgraded cooling, this powerhouse delivers an astonishing 431bhp, making the M400 a force to be reckoned with.
Every aspect of the M400 is designed for high-performance driving. The suspension has been upgraded with Nitron springs and dampers, offering a perfect balance of absorption and agility. An anti-roll bar, a new addition in the M400, enhances stability, while the extra steering lock provides precision handling at high speeds. This car’s transformation was so profound that reviewers in 2004 hailed it as a game-changer in sports car handling.
Only 75 examples of the Noble M400 were ever built, making it a rare gem in the automotive world. The model we have on offer at Opposite Stock is a pristine, factory-standard specimen, finished in elegant Gunmetal Grey tastefully paired with a black leather and Alcantara interior, accented by red stitching. It includes desirable features like a carbon steering wheel, factory air conditioning, upgraded xenon headlights, and the Nitron suspension is in excellent condition.
This Noble M400 boasts a remarkable history, with only three previous owners and an extensive service record featuring 24 documented services since its initial registration in January 2005. Maintained meticulously, this car has never seen a wet road under its previous ownership and has been kept in a heated garage. It rides on a fresh set of Pirelli P Zeros and will be delivered with a comprehensive service and inspection by The Supercar Tech.
