Noble M600 track test - Top Gear - BBC

[UseUrHead503]

hmmm, how about the noble m600 or a gumpert apollo?

[05Rudey]

@UseUrHead503

This is the M600

[MrUkstig]

My favorite British car of the moment apart from the lotus evora

[ferrari360000]

Mclaren F1 will smoke this car like A piece of cake =P

[HMCarsSOA]

@ferrari360000 Noble looks better, sounds better and cheaper.

[therock505505]

lets put them on a drag race and we'll see who's gonna win

[fitjerk]

@therock505505 Ok, but tell the dork in the Lambo that he cannot use launch control. Because then, you might as well put a fucking monkey behind the wheel.

[therock505505]

@fitjerk

why he can't use the launch control? its a fucking feature that the lambo has. If the nobel doesn't have, its their problem

[fitjerk]

@therock505505 It's not a feature, it's a crutch made for idiots who want to show off and/or have no skill.

[therock505505]

@fitjerk whether its a feature or not. at least it can beat your shitty nobel

[freakyfreakyfresh516]

It looks ver similar to an Audi R8

[dannyxxxxeryn]

Noble are easily one of the greatest British Car designs ever... 6.13 onwards

[mikethetrainguy]

Well you have to think, the noble is 200,000 in Britain the Aston Martin is less than that but the noble is turbocharged

[MilwaukeeF40C]

I am intrigued by the M600 because of the idea of a raw, pure high performance super car.  I consider the minimal features to be desirable. The problem with "loading" a car with additional components is that they mark up the cost, require extra maintenance, and rob performance (draw current and add weight). If you are driving a super car you are trying to make a statement that you have the ability to handle the machine's full capabilities. Prove it, otherwise the sports aesthetic is a lie.

[equinox9]

@MilwaukeeF40C I think most people are probably trying to make the statement that they have a lot of money.

[alecmets2011]

@equinox9 which is the problem today. super cars were designed to have the best drivers in the world drive them. rich people should just buy cars that are very luxurious like Rolls Royce phantoms or ghosts, Bentley's, Maybach's, or even some Aston Martins. how many people who own a Lamborghini of Ferrari actually know how to drive it fast. probably less than .1%. which is about 10 people considering the low amount of cars they sell

[sgloo89]

noble pay lots of money for topgear to say good things about that car

[anshsahajpal]

the can put a v10 in it



[Trancemusiclover22]

I don't know why this car is so underrated ...but I know one thing.. I love this car... the sound of the engine.. it's incredible..

[TheMakdaManiac]

I LIVE IN LEICESTER :D

[bulgaboi]

Just imagine if it was made of carbon fiber. Dare I say it, it's almost a modern day Ferrari F40.

[verygoodbrother]

I hate people who know nothing about engineering of any kind and calling a car like the noble crap because of its name.

[michaelba86]

the noble m600 weighs only 1250 kg and has 650 hp, thats exactly 520 hp per ton, same as the bugatti veyron which weighs 1900 kg and has almost 1000 hp at the wheels

[masterchief11773]

im not gonna lie and call me retarded for this but i think its better looking then all the cars in the film excluding the F430 and the DB9

[LWheel19]

Dream car. Unbelievable sound. I would have the maroon one that Hammond drove for the first half of the season 18 premier. I would pick it second only to a Ferrari f40

[steveyboy0]

@spentronic Hahaaa that's fuckin class mate :)

[yahoopl3]

wow, what a piece of shit....like putting a 600 horsepower engine in a yugo

[Riles07]

if you haven't heard the noise the M600 makes search youtube. It is unreal. One of the smoothest V8's I've ever heard. The turbos aren't suffocating the exhaust either, it's sooo fucking loud.

Top comment is right, this car is insanely underrated. In the season 18 premier that just aired tonight, I would unquestionably take the Noble over the Aventador and the McLaren 12C.

Cherry on top? It's a Noble. NOTHING on the surface of this Earth handles as well as the cars they manufacture. It's law.

[003Rifal]

@Riles07 and yet I would still have the Aventador, simply because of the looks. The Aventador is the maddest looking car in the world today. Also blue flames shoot out of the exhaust. Nothing can top that.

[5819842]

If I had the money, I'd definitely buy one!

[spentronic]

that car is like a honey badger it just doesnt give a fuck!!!

[jeremyallstarz]

d baddes car bessides veron

[99MChrisp99]

I want to see the best from switzer tuned PORSCHE 997 TURBOon the top gear track driven from the Stig!

[nawzy202]

@99MChrisp99 They couldn't but it wouldn't count as its a tuned car and not production just like Ferrari FXX and Zonda R times were never posted on the wall

[99MChrisp99]

@nawzy202 Than i want the Weineck Cobra :D

[jimmi83]

Proper car.

[jdfc5]

About 200,000 Pound Sterling of underrated car.

[ellisfreedman]

This car would terrify your average Ferrari buyer

[1skullduggery]

despite his self-proclaimed misgivings, he seems like quite the competent test pilot to me.

[Meatlooaf]

@1skullduggery He is A very good driver, despite what people say

[DEXEuphoria]

Horrible color :D

[remuaja84]

The silhouette is gracious.

[xcislife94]

[PisToLeRo5551]

honestly speed isnt everything in such cases....! i have money for Lambo, or 458 or Porsche but no i go to m600 thats just lame.....:)

[robbiekhandotcodotuk]

@PisToLeRo5551 You're forgetting the point of a car like this, it's a more driver's car than any of the ones you've mentioned, it has no driver aids restrictions, it has a sweet spot but in order to find it you have to know the car back to front and have skill at driving a car that, like the C63 AMG with traction control disabled, is a brutal animal.

On top of that the acceleration Clarkson demonstrated, it just doesn't matter what speed you're going , it piles on MPH in seconds

[PisToLeRo5551]

@robbiekhandotcodotuk Come on man i do agree with ur points but u should also understand the facts of passion n aggression for such cases i mean to say that u should feel what u r driving there should be excitement for u to drive such babe....!

[PrickityPrick]

@robbiekhandotcodotuk I agree, I would go the C63 AMG over the M3 because the M3 has so much electronic aids helping the driver, turn the tcs off and you still got help. The C63, you turn it off, floor the throttle and you'll pretty much spin off.

[thekkl]

Noble M600 vs Mosler MT900s

I would pay to see that.

[Gebuhr]

Some of misinformation here.

1) Volvo was owned by Ford - not GM

2) Engine is a Volvo engine - developed together with Yamaha (Wikipedia: B8444S) which is a rather unique, compact 60° V8

[bordenwesley]

Scary and sexy!

[XXDANTHEMANXX1000]

I love that and the 2011 gumpert Apollo s which in my opinion are the two scariest supercars on sale

[MyAqaa]

Volvo B8444S Engine.

[bigbudha168]

Chevy v8 with twin turbos.

[TehLULZ1234]

@bigbudha168 Volvo v8 with twin turbos

[bigbudha168]

@TehLULZ1234 gm used to own volvo. the cx9 had a chevy v8

[MyAqaa]

@bigbudha168 i thought ford owned volvo

[bigbudha168]

@MyAqaa your right, sorry. i watched an interview with the head of nobel and clearly said the n600 had a chevy v8 twin turbo in it.

[bigbudha168]

@bigbudha168 m600

[MyAqaa]

@bigbudha168 Well, the engine was actually made by Yamaha in Japan. Don't know where the hell you got Chevy from?

[Ryan40272]

@bigbudha168 Well he was "clearly" 100% wrong. Go search B8444S engine.

[Ryan40272]

@bigbudha168 No, Ford owned Volvo until from 1999-2010 when China company Geeley Auto bought it.... The only thing close to Volvo that GM owned was Sabb

[hvkv0000]

y no drag race???

[ThePachCode]

I'd take one any day over those known commodities. 200,000 quid? Ummmm.... yeah.

[hamzah510]

u guys wont take nicely to this but its worth watching the fifth gear review of this car as well

[PS3Noob32]

what is the music on 4:15 ? when he turn off TC

[MrMadpenguin]

@PS3Noob32 Arctic Monkeys - Brainstorm.

[PS3Noob32]

@MrMadpenguin thank you so much:)

[Clocc35]

He complains too much. He can't master car's, and has excuses.

[kaushikdeep99]

40-60 in One second.. " ONE" (@_@)

[alainjun08]

watch "Noble M600 vs Nissan R35 GTR"

[rvind92g]

@alainjun08 Yeah I watched that before, that wasn't a stock GTR, it's a Switzer P800 GTR with 800 BHP.

[TheActiveAssault]

There is far to much room in that engine compartment. I say put another one.

[cllcn888]

@TheActiveAssault Thats why its so light.

[FlightX101]

@TheActiveAssault I could just imagine tuners going crazy with that car lol.

[kro235]

@TheActiveAssault haha spoken like a true petrolhead :)

[1991Dalina]

This kind of speed is out of this planet. Waooo is like drag racing, does it comes with a pilot license????

[username6333]

Really like the side view of the Noble.

[excelsisent]

The design is subtle but functional. It doesnt get tiring quickly like the ferraris and lambos.

Love it.

[MrMadpenguin]

So it has no ABS, no electronic aids to help you drive it and a body made of heave stainless steel, yet it was faster ´round a track than any Ferrari or most other super cars for that matter. If this car was more focused, it would crush all cars in the market. But regardless of all that, it is my favourite mid-engined super car next to the Carrera GT.

[blahblop123]

@MrMadpenguin There is a more focused version of this... its called the Ultima GTR.. the guy who owns noble (Lee Noble) and designed this cars chassis was the same guy who designed the Ultima GTR's chassis before leaving Ultima and making his own company, Noble... that says alot about why this car is so awesome..

[shobin05]

this car is so underrated..

[ReticentIndignation]

@shobin05 Wish it was "slightly cheaper." ='(

[TurboLag23]

@shobin05 Don't fear. I've spoken to a US owner of a Noble M12 GTO. He says that the car does have somewhat of a cult following amongst Noble fans and exotic car owners. Should the car be approved for sale in the US, there are buyers here that are ready, willing, and able.

[gillmanjr87]

@shobin05 I agree. And its not fair to compare this car to the Ferrari 430, Porsche GT3, Gallardo, Aston DBS, etc. This Noble is on another level, like Murcielago SV level. When you look at it from that standpoint its a bargain.

[Janusha]

It doesnt use a Volvo engine directly. Its a Suzuki derived V8 that is also used in the Volvo.

[dickcheese663]

@Janusha i was told at the Dallas tech training center for Volvo that those V8's were once in a warehouse full of the old Ford Taurus SHO engines which as a part of Ford back then, Volvo acquired them

[rvind92g]

@dickcheese663 No, it's not related to the SHO engines.

[dickcheese663]

plus, i did a front timing cover on one last week on a XC90 V8 because one of the idler pullies failed and got ripped off and Ford was stamped on it.....after that, i replaced the transmission (which is super common) and the new "re-manufactured" trans i put in it had a leaking rear cover.....when i took it off, it had a GM stamp on it. i thought it was kinda funny

[dickcheese663]

@Janusha Yamaha heads also, kinda like the Lexus IS-F and LS600hL V8 heads

[rvind92g]

@Janusha It's not a Suzuki derived V8. It's an engine co-developed by Yamaha based on Volvo's design. It was project actually undertaken by Ford though it's more based on a Volvo design manufactured by Yamaha.

[Janusha]

@rvind92g

I might have got Suzuki and Yamaha mixed up.

[MyAqaa]

@Janusha Yamaha.

[Janusha]

@MyAqaa

Yes correct.

[DumpValvesAndDnB]

Don't forget that this is the pre-production model aswell. the actual production car has a carbon fibre body so it has even MORE power:weight!!!

[omegarex1984]

4 $318,000 plus shipping and taxes ill stick we ferrari.

[ferraristig1]

When i opened the page to the video, for an advertisement it was a full video of Smosh. One commercial worth watching.

[orihalchon]

If 40 to 60 took JUST a second, any possibilities that it will go from 0-60 in 0-2 seconds? DAMN, IT'S QUICK! XD

[jokernoob2]

whats the price on this, in us money plz

[longbowgold67]

Also, the kind of person who looks at the established range of supercars and thinks "I don't like any of them" is someone who owns all of them :P

[longbowgold67]

Brilliant car, but I don't know how Noble could go from making cars that were so practical yet so sporty like the M15 to making a car that is really rather unsuitable for most drivers. I can't believe it doesn't have ABS. With an engine that powerful, it seems suicidal not to have it.

[mistahbtheoryz]

Noble is a Slow ass car on forza. my Redbull 2011 prototype on gt5 would eat it for breakfast

[Hratiiv]

I would still a ferrari 458 italia or porsche 911 turbo s....certainly this noble have speed...and they can boast around how fast they can go....but the idea of engine from volvo xc 90,just turn me off....i would be paying for a makeshift sportscar as such.....

[billy2smooth]

i got this car on forza 4 and its awesome it dominates u know forza 4 a little 360 game that has the top gear license and even jeremy clarkson

[05Rudey]

Love the look and the color. The best looking Noble yet, and i consider the Noble M12 GTO a looker.

[bullza001rocka]

When can I get one stateside?

[MrSilverfish12]

The M600 is looks cool from behind but upfront it looks kinda ugly. Reminds me of a chick I checked out lol

[diedaedy]

@MrSilverfish12 good analogy... i agree

[ManOrWomanIDK]

i just realized the guy from top gear is the narrator in forza 3

[ccalvinn27]

LOL its not in forza 4 :3

[ninjagod1337]

@ccalvinn27 False. It's part of the collector's edition car pack. It's also one of my favorite cars to drive.

[ccalvinn27]

@ninjagod1337 Meh. i didnt bother with the collecters edition seeing that all it does is give you a few extra cars and a crown next to your name and some other useless stuff (in my mind) so i went with a rossion Q1, its got around 9.7 launch 10 acceleration and 9.6 speed :p

[MrViniVini96]

@ccalvinn27 you have to get the launch car pack like me :P

[SPMNDK89]

This car will definitely kill its owner...

[VDZRIDER]

225 mph?!!!?!

[aymthebest]

@VDZRIDER yesyes :) there are lots of road cars that reach the 215+ mark ... This, the Ascari A10 ... The Gumpert Apollo S etc

[drunkinmaster1]

Jeremy Clarkson doesn't have the driving skill to complain about such a cars handling. Someone please hand this car over to Tiff Needell who can truly appreciate it.

[halfassedfart]

@drunkinmaster1 Didn't he admit that in the video?

[MrMadpenguin]

Thats a pretty amazing car.

[EduWestCoastRap]

old school bad boy

[Luis2002able]

at 5:11 you can see the shadow from the camera crew car!!!

[KTWON1]

@Luis2002able Nobody gives a shit



[Kaze0690]

Now thats a car i would actually save my money to buy...not some stupid electronic car that aids to everything....hell take that traction control off aswell it would be even better for me to drive...

[CvGirth32]

good looking car



[EMIR72CC]

What is called the type of music that starts at 6:31 and so , on and thx for help ;)

[ryan041493]

i would take a Noble over everyone of those except the Aston. I love Astons too much.

[max417481]

if enzo ferrari would be still alive he would made one like this beauty...not other funny staf

[XXBhaVishXXamdXX]

forget everything else i want this car

[CraztSAMP]

6:44 looser

[AJKnair6]

1:40. My Dream Garage!!

[jebwatson]

Love. This. Car.

[Riles07]

did anyone else notice it has a proper stick-shift manual gear box and not a stupid sequential paddle shifter?

[Dragon4eva]

@Riles07 if they "couldn't afford" ABS, they "can't afford" paddle shifters.lol

[Riles07]

@Dragon4eva that was just Jeremy's opinion. Noble has sold many cars and they do a lot of work with race teams and other car manufacturers to set up suspension and handling mostly, the vehicle stance too. If they can afford to design, manufacture, test, and regulate their own chassis, wheels, body work, and interior components, I think they probably CAN afford to implement ABS and sequential shifters if they wanted.

Ariel has paddle shifters, and they're a much smaller company.

[soucorp]

a nice to have in my collection, but looks a bit like a ford gt40 !

[jebwatson]

@soucorp which looked great...

[1980venom]

this should have been the Batmobile

[genwave]

@5:20 music from Silent Hill 3

[BBQPeanut]

More like, "What kind of person looks at the established range of super cars and says, I already have all of them?" Damn rich people.

[irvinetustin]

I watched some of the videos for some of the fastest and most powerful cars in the world for the model year 2011 which include: Bugatti Veyron Super Sport, Koenigsegg Agera R, SSC Ultimate Aero, Sleen S7 Twin-Turbo, Koenigsegg CCX, McLaren F1, Gumpert Apollo, Pagani Zonda Cinque Roadster, Ferrari Enzo and now the Noble M600. And I must say, the Noble M600 had the best narrator. This narrator is funny!

[AVP5342]

@irvinetustin thats jeremy!!!

[The0rangePanda]

Looks nice

[ritter188]

I just saw all of my dream cars get destroyed and put to shame by a noble

[TheShammies]

Engine bay is a hot mess. I'm sure the next rich guy would rather prefer a Lamborghini instead.

[Cuseball121]

200,000 pounds for a less aggressive murciealago? Look at it! It doesn't look like a supercar and that's why I wouldn't buy one.

[ajeemama]

this car is over eexpensive i mean look at the int its crap

[chrisazarian]

How much is this? I'd be guessing 500.000$-1.000.000$+

[yewuntthu]

@chrisazarian around the lower half of 300 mark. its 200,000 pounds.

[KuyaNathan]

Intense...A modified Volvo on Crack, Heroine and Steroid....I want one..."MOM!!!!!!!!"

[ConstipatedKimmy]

My mom has a twin turbo Volvo xc90 hmm....

[ysf665]

British cars are never bad at top gear..

[jeebus2121]

@ysf665, I take it you didn't see the McLaren MP4-12C review.

[ysf665]

@jeebus2121 yes i did but i take it you didn't.

[Greendude33]

What's with these UK shed car builders using so much foreign parts? German,Italian,American, and even Japanese but now Volvo? Haha.

Why couldnt Noble get a V8 or V12 from Jaguar or Aston Martin and keep it British?

Even the new Mclaren MP4-12C has a Nissan block...

[LessQQmorePewPew0709]

Noble lap 1.17.7

2012 GTR lap 1.17.8

[MrShadowz1337]

@LessQQmorePewPew0709 not very convincing for a car that's 200,000. Oh look, a 00.00.10 difference!! WOOT

[dwigggy]

Ok to clarify...its just a volvoengine noble is NOT owned by ford this is a supercar with no abs for christ sake( I do love the car tho) low budget is all

[Intoxiqated]

You dont drive the M600, the M600 drives YOU... (No Soviet Russia joke intended)

[wmoltke]

The car is a monster but that color should be called "toilet blue".........

[rockkyman]

when he said this car is "quiet" at 6:16 i never stop thinking that all the sound that i heard the entire video was the car itself...

[fanaticastype]

Hey Dad, If you love me, you would buy...

[helicopter1996]

Arctic Monkeys!!! :D

[briiandee]

volvo is scandinavian

[Adrianmgs97]

@briiandee i believe volvo was recently bought by geely....!!

@Adrianmgs97 it was
