Such as ?
Should be a little harder on brake pads due to extra weight but aftermarket pads are easily sourced. Rotors are available and I bet less expensive. Tires wear about the same or even less since they are wider, but they do cost more initially since they are larger.
Brand new *built* crate engine for the Rossion/Noble is $4400.
I don't know about the cost of a clutch job. I do know the labor for doing it on my Lotus was a bit high... but I have yet to do it on the Noble.
Since most of the parts are easily sourced off of various less exotic cars, and since the car only weighs about 350 pounds more, and the Noble/Rossion is a lot easier to work on, I don't see it being much more expensive to track. But I could be wrong?
