Features:
The Noble M400 is a fiberglass bodied sports car from the British car maker Noble. Manufacturing was outsourced to Hi Tech Automotive, based in Port Elizabeth, South Africa. The M400 was noted by the automotive press for excellent handling and power.
This Noble M400 features a mid-mounted transverse engine design. The power plant is originally a 2968 cc DOHC Ford Duratec V6 with four valves per cylinder, used in the Ford Mondeo ST220. With this engine as a base, Noble fits high-lift camshafts, revised fuel injection, and two turbochargers. For durability, Noble has also added forged pistons, an oil cooler, a larger baffled oil sump, and extra cooling ducts.
This Noble M400 has a max power of 425 bhp at 6500 rpm, with a torque figure of 390 ft·lb at 5000 rpm. This power and light weight allows the M400 to achieve a power to weight ratio of just over 400 bhp/ton, the figure for which it was named. It manages a 0 - 60 mph time of 3.2 seconds, a 1/4-mile time of 11.4 @ 119.8 mph, and a top speed is 187 mph. 2 Door, 2 Wheel Drive, Manual Transmission, Rear Wheel Drive, Turbo, Alloy Wheels, Alarm, AM/FM Radio, Anti-theft, CD Player
