The Noble is the dark horse of new car launches. It's doing away with the glitter and gleam that its competitors rely on, to deliver a pure driving experience. This is a 225mph supercar for drivers, not posers.

It'll hit you for a quarter of a million pounds to tell you that you weren't as good a driver as you thought you were. It doesn't have ABS, ASM and traction control is optional. Don't let the fact the engine is based around a Volvo's fool you either - it placed in the top five fastest lap times on the Top Gear track.
