Here is some more Noble info

Nobles M14 supercar is equipped with a 400 bhp twin-turbo 3 litre V6 unit allowing the car to accelerate to 60 mph in 4.3 seconds and rocket all the way up to 190 mph.
Noble have proved themselves as a quality sports car company with the Noble M12, and it shouldn't be too hard to convince the public that a much modified Ford Mondeo engine is capable of supercar performance when combined with a plastic (possibly later carbon fiber) body and steel space frame chassis.

The Noble M14 is intended to compete with the likes of the Lamborghini Gallardo, Porsche 911 and Ferrari F430.

The head designer Lee Noble said of the M14 " We aim to catch an entirely new audience with this model, one that cares as much about the grade of leather used in the cabin as how fast the car will accelerate to 100 mph. We also anticipate that M14 buyers will demand 'jump-in-and-drive' convenience, without any sacrifice in exclusivity or sophistication. I'm satisfied these criteria have been met without any compromise."

- Noble M15 (production version of the M14)

wow ... that is a great market to be in. I'm sure there have been tons of refinements to the interior as well.

I think the GT-R is cheaper, faster, probably handles better and comes with a warranty.
