Timing for the introduction of the new Noble (latest name = M600--twin turbo V8 with ~650 BHP
) is still uncertain. But it has been confirmed that the production of that car will be extremely limited. They have set a target of 50 cars/year, and there are no plans to make it available for the U.S. market.
The Rossion is an M400 "underneath" with an upgraded interior and bodywork, and it will be sold worldwide. The reason for the name change is that Lee Noble sold the rights to produce the M400 chassis to 1GRacing in the U.S. under the condition that the new car would not be badged as a Noble. As a result, the production of U.S. Nobles ended at chassis # 220 about 1 year ago. The first U.S. Rossions will start appearing in the next month or so.
