@damianoferro you can see misha being so careful with it when it's not in a straight line. Those big turbos are hard to work with, you cross that torque line in a mid engine car and it isn't very forgiving!
These are your best videos, you don't drive these kinds of cars often but when you do it's a blast. Pure driver engagement. Hoping for more Noble/ TVR/ caterham in the future.
@@robertdoyle4098more fast doesn't always mean more entertaining though. Something like a Caterham would be hilarious because it's like driving a wheelbarrow compared to a complex supercar or something.
These cars allways have a place in my heart as my uncles old company built the first load of m12’s at noble motor sport, I went out with Lee noble the guy who designed it in the first ever one made as a kid 👍
Now I didn't expect to see this! When these came out I went to the dealer as a teenager to sit in one for the hell of it. They had changed the intake to reduce the turbo noise but he said customers complained about that and it was changed back to be louder.
These are my favourite Misha videos. Insane car, chilled owner that knows their car, no talking or mobile recording during the lap, just taking it all in. That car is absolutely nuts. The way the speedo climbs so freely is a thing of beauty. Great upload! 👌🏻👌🏻
A car built like that does make me question why not have ABS at the very least. I mean, if you need better cornering in a non race spec version of a car built exactly like a racecar, maybe the engineering is not so great after all.
@@TonicofSonic@TonicofSonic It is just speculation, but I guess buying and integrating an ABS that would perform well on a race track for a tiny company like Noble in the early 2000s might have not been easy/feasible.
Owner dude is fighting the age gremlin successfully! 50ish years old, almost definitely on TRT, works out regularly, and probably did some push-ups prior to filming, from pit sweat, and the wrinkled wick shirt that show how he definitely showed off his abs, not to mention the perfect amount of hairline contour that only good money can buy. I'd say he's winning the age game, and still in the fast lane! Big up's for being a total bro, for those of us that can't afford it =).
That would be the Yumyum Racing TimeAttack Noble you’re talking about. That guy keeps setting class lap records every time it goes out it seems. Beating full on factory built race cars worth many times its value. These are incredible cars. You should check out their page on UA-cam too.
The speed difference between the two laps was mega. You could definitely tell you were holding back the first lap. It’s also unreal that it’s a ford mondeo V6 that’s in the back of these :P
Great video as always Misha! Love the Noble! We took one to the Isle of Man the week before the TT, that was an UNBELIEVABLE experience ! We have just released our video on it as well, would love for you to check that out ! At the UK’s version of the ‘Ring!
TVR, Lotus, Ariel, Caterham - all English. Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales (all British) have nothing when it comes to car manufacturers and mototsport. As such, it's better to say you love the English track day cars, rather than Brtitish, as it's solely England in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and N. Ireland who produces them.
After the remap, we were struggling to hold boost with the fitted actuators. Long story short previous owner refurbished turbos and they fitted wrong actuators. Only found when having car mapped after new ecu, so new actuators are coming, so will easily make 500bhp.
Cool to see you taking a Noble for a lap, there factory was just 5 mins from my house, and the Ultima sports cars are built just a minute down the road from me also. It would be amazing to see you take an Ultima RS out for a lap sometime, or maybe even the older GTR, and I imagine driving either around the Nürburgring would definitely be an exciting experience.
Misha will be driving Ultima GTR soon?! Holy, that's gonna be interesting! Ultima & Noble are two brands that I really love, but undoubtedly they also not the easiest car to drive at limits.
ST170 Focus in front as you pulled out for the first lap. Probably the best fwd handling car I’ve had and I’m a Honda guy! Great laps as always Misha, Noble is just down the road from me 🙌
Awesome car and video, been waiting for this one! Recently bought a very similar spec M12 GTO-3R and absolutely love it, it's incredible. Looking forward to my first few track days (at a slower pace than Misha!).
Boston Grun metallic E36 in the background! Im an owner of 2 grun 97s.... looks just as fabulous as the first time i saw it back in the day when they were new.
That owner had veins on his upper arms that looked like a river delta in Africa!! He might rip the steering wheel off!! Nice car, I like the shed built British cars!!
Had an M400 with the engine and transmission built by Rouch for 500HP, and the car was fully laden with all fluids the car was 2400 Lbs, and boy, was it such a fun car to drive (but not on the Nurburgring). A really fun car!
Noble makes great drivers cars. This car is pretty much the "pre-facelifted" version of the M400 and then they have the M600, which is a beast of a sports car itself.
I have a dream Misha, that one day, you will be lucky enough to get to take a lotus esprit around the ring! Awesome car, and a great video of a pure drivers car =)
500hp, 1000kg, no TC, no ABS. Crazy car.

@@Itsallfun3000 it's for professional drivers...😉
@@Hemix68 yeah you gotta know what you're doing to push that car
Was hoping Misha would have pushed it a little more. I feel like the car had more untapped ability for this track. Bummer.
It would be great to see more British cars like this on the track, TVR or Lotus would be interesting.
@@yousuff1 I agree!
Ummmm ... this gen Noble & M400 was actually manufactured in Port Elizabeth , South Africa 🇿🇦 😏
Shipped back to G.B, where the motor & ECU got fitted
@@neilgouws6962 Designed in the UK, though.
None of them work anymore 😅

The owner is giving serious Terminator vibes in the ride-along......wow what a car tho.

Yeah cool car, but zero personality from the mid life crisis man.

man wtf
this car is a car for experienced drivers for sure. definitely not for a regular average person like 95% of us. what a machine.
So glad this finally happened. Noble owner is a legend for risking his car!

That's a scary car to drive
Real driving experience 🎉😅 has to be little bit of fear to enjoy and survive full lap

Misha's met his match when it comes to holding a poker face. lol
I have never seen Misha with so much respect, and he has driven very expensive and powerful cars, this car is special.
Calling it a kit car and pulling a face like he just swallowed a lemon are hardly signs of respect.
As a long-time owner of a M400, and a subscriber to your channel, I was hoping this would happen one day! Also, my M400 was 500+ at the wheels...
Dang, now that's a pure driver's car. Lightweight, powerful, handles beautifully. Perfection
Nuburgring seems to be infested with those Warning triangles everywhere like some memorial to "My Shit Box Died Here" Like a badge of honour!.
Love the British track day cars, hope to see you in a tvr sagaris. Apparently the most mental of street legal TVR's

Noble of you to drive it like it's designed for.
He said 450-460 and it says 500? Totally amazing great looking car that sounds epic and is really damn fast..what a car!!😍
500 looks way better in the title
@honda4185 lol, actually I checked my DMs for specs and it said 500. I guess we downgraded.
Crank vs wheel HP

ST170 Focus in front as you pulled out for the first lap. Probably the best fwd handling car I’ve had and I’m a Honda guy! Great laps as always Misha, Noble is just down the road from me 🙌
Now that was great to watch! That is a very scary car you do not see everyday!
That speed gauge is hella jenky 😂
Great to see a Noble on the channel. My mate had an M400 version back in the day, still one of the fastest things I've been in!
Never seen anyone look so miserable and p’d off before and during one of these drives. 😂
I cant wait till jack fixes the burned up noble. This looks amazing
That was a very smooth drive by Misha,yet a look at the speedo shows the Noble is fast,it's certainly has the power!!
It just needs a Vulcan Alpha wing and splitter and it will be bang on
Always dreamed about this car, no electronics, just pure geometry. Very cool.
Awesome car and video, been waiting for this one! Recently bought a very similar spec M12 GTO-3R and absolutely love it, it's incredible. Looking forward to my first few track days (at a slower pace than Misha!).

I'd love to see misha ripping through the green hell in a TVR
You absolutely NEED to drive the M600! It's a monster on the Ring. Mechanical grip EVERYWHERE.
always love the M600, it looks lovely too.
that guy is the terminator , he has zero emotions. did he even enjoy the lap ?
10:24 one side of his mouth went slightly up, I guess he was mildly amused at that specific moment 😆
He’s probably nervous lol, I’ve got a Noble and they’re lively, no TCS or ABS.
Hes just a noble owner thats how they are 😂
That's the side effects of his supps. ;)

Love these cars, a Noble would for sure be in my dream garage! Fell in love with the brand after the Top Gear episode with the M600

Damn, now I want to see but mostly hear an M600 driven like this.
Oh WHOW...a Noble ❣️👌🏼
Interesting... I never seen one 😅
And how empty was the track ❔❕😃
Was it on TF ❔
I've only seen one of these here in the US. Was nearly 20 years ago, and I knew exactly what it was. Awesome.
"I've had enough barriers" Wise words !! Take care !
Used to be a red M12 close to me, loved seeing that thing!
There’s no ABS to upset, Misha. SEND IT! 🔥🔥
That Noble makes ALL the right noises :D
This was definitely expert mode driving this. One mistake and that’s a trip to the guardrail. Still such a beautiful machine
I used to work with some Nobles and always had a soft spot for them! VERY weird wheel fitments though!
You should ask Yumyum racing if you could use theirs on track. That thing is mentally quick.
glad you took the extra second lap after suspension tuneup.. seems like the car still needs extra work with alignment and maybe aero ;)
Great video! You can tell that Misha knows that it was made by a man in a shed, from the north of England 😂😂😂
The sounds this car makes are lovely
Il manque de l'aéro. C'est un monstre, mais elle a trop envie de flotter au dessus de la route. On sent que tu la retiens.
Hans and Franz manhandling the puny Noble, love it
I can just see Jack from Jack Builds It smiling while watching this video 😁😁😁
Exactly my thought. You know he will see this video.
Well done for not putting in in a barrier 😂 another bit messing with suspension and a lap or 2 and you could of made the owner look happy ☹️
underrated car
This looked awesome. Would love more pedal box clips so we can see how you dance.
I cannot WAIT for the Ultima 😍
Awesome video Misha! Love to watch the obscure cars 😋
The owner was very calm.
No I wasn't, I was screaming inside 😂
Those turbos really get up✔️
Great cars, I drove a GTO-3R as a demo when they were new. Wonderful things with so many wooshes and turbo noises.
Im wondering what is going on with TVR cars. They are now low low prices and nobody is tuning them. Would be nice to see one on the track.
The waste gate and BOV 👌👌👌
Nitron makes a coilover for this one.
that's a proper quick car
look how effortless that car goes from 95mph-140mph at 06:22 in the video. lol
