FIRST DRIVE: Noble M500 - 500bhp, £150k & Manual Gearbox | Top Gear

That’s right. Noble is back again with a simple supercar recipe, designed to make you reconsider if you really need thousands of horsepower, hybrid boost, many driving modes and a paddleshift gearbox. The new M500 has a steel chassis, a Ford engine, fibreglass panels and the gearbox for an old Audi (though it’s quite a special one). And with a target price of £150,000, this Brit upstart could be the answer to your entry-level analogue supercar prayers. Top Gear magazine’s Ollie Kew’s taken the M500 prototype for a spin to see what’s what. Subscribe to Top Gear for more videos: WATCH MORE TOP GEAR: First Looks:   First Drives: American Tuned ft.
