History
In 2009 Noble released the M600, a car which takes Noble into hyper-car territory. With 650BHP available from its purpose built 4.4-litre V8 Yamaha twin turbocharged engine, the carbon fibre, light weight bodied. Past products include the M12 GTO, M12 GTO-3, M12 GTO-3R and Noble M400. Super Veloce Racing (SVR) is the exclusive sales and service network for the Noble M600 supercar in the UK and Europe. The M12 GTO-3R and M400 share chassis and body. Only 220 Noble GTO-3Rs and M400s were imported to the US. They are the only Nobles available to the American market. The US distribution rights to the M12s and M400s were sold in 2007 to 1G Racing from Ohio. Due to high demand of these cars, 1G released its own copy, named Rossion Q1.
“Noble Automotive” in the USA has no affiliation or indeed any connection with Noble Automotive Limited. Due to an administrative oversight the Trade Mark for Noble Automotive lapsed in the USA. This has been subsequently legally “adopted” by Hoover Chan trading as Turbo Hoses in the USA. He has implemented both our actual long established logo and “Noble Automotive” in the United States. Sometime ago Noble Automotive Limited visited the USA and believed they had reached an amicable resolution with Mr. Chan for him to surrender the trade mark back to Noble Automotive Limited. However he later changed his mind and now it appears the misperception and confusion is being compounded by the “borrowing” of the Noble M600 as a base for his own designs for a proposed M700. Apologies for any confusion this causes.
