So great to see that Noble are still around. A guy who lives in my area has an M12, and its always a treat to see. With Lotus seemingly going away from cars like this, the lightweight manual British sports car still lives on with Noble!
@@captain_context9991Jaguar isn't owned by the Chinese. 🤦♂️😂 Tata is Indian and has owned them since 2008. They've put out some amazing cars in that time including the X150 XKR, the F-Type, and the Project 7 and Project 8 cars.
@@captain_context9991 Emission regulations are making it hard and expensive to maintain the heritage of internal combustion engines. They are going to fade away if the governments dont do a turnaround. The car industry is world wide in trouble right now. There is not enough demand for EVs. Smaller manufacturers have fortunately more liberties.
@@BenCollinsDrives hopefully not. This lithium madness will eventually come to the logical ending. They don’t make electrical container cargo ships, airplanes and DC powered trains for a lot of reasons. The power of steam was less efficient than diesel, but hypothetical DC powered lithium trains are worse by any means than diesel locomotives. Thus, steam engines had to go, but we can’t let go diesel and petrol engines because we DON’T have a better technology yet.
The most beautiful Noble so far and it has all the supercar cues that others no longer offer. I love the gated gears and the fact that you could drive it at speed in those conditions suggest it is going to be a true useable car. It's frastic to hear that it was drawn by one man who has taken his vision through to production and I can't wait to see one on the road.
I know the Italian brands are the most highly regarded in the super car realm, but there is always something about British brands that hold a place in my heart that others can't reach. That started ehen I first saw a convertible Jaguar E-Type in person; dressed in British racing green, it was stunning. If only I could afford them!
@BenCollins, thank you SO much for bringing content to everyone. I’ve been very pleasantly surprised (in the best of ways) at your access to things, the collaborations, and getting to see you in action again. You ask great questions when interviewing people and you’re ALWAYS a class act. I look forward to every upload and wish you the greatest success in your endeavors! Thank you again and keep up the great work!
I feel like if Lotus released this and said "it's the Emira's bigger brother" then both in styling and driving terms, everyone would be raving about it. Like most people who will say how great this car seems to be, I can't afford one (and would want ABS if I could, to be honest), but I've always thought the M600 deserved more love and I'd love to see one of these in person too.
@@BenCollinsDrives True, hence why an M5 apparently has to weigh as much as a Giulia QV towing a Cessna (including the trailer)! That'll never stop being funny. Hopefully Lotus will make enough money from EVs to build a rival to this 🤔 And Caterham or Ariel for a British lighter-car trinity (see what I did there...I'll see myself out).
Lee Noble deserves a massive thank you. Probably one of the last car maker to truly understand true car guys, aka putting a 3rd pedal, a stick in the middle, and absolutely none electronic assist.
Lee Noble hasn't been involved with Noble Automotive since 2008. He was, if I recall, basically kicked out by the new owners (American). It is now owned by Chinese investors.
@@skwdenyer Correct that Lee Noble has not been involved, but it wasn't the American Co., 1G Racing. They bought the rights to the M12/400 and created Rossion Q1. Lee Noble left the Noble company because he didn't like the direction it was going with the M600 development.
With conditions limiting slo-mo power glides etc, your commentary really shines through. Top Gear missed a trick not allowing you swap the helmet for a microphone. Greetings from Prague, CZ
Cool , about the only thing left of England that we can be proud of ….. and what a charming gent Peter is ❤👍🏴 Lovely drone footage too that snow covered grass contrasts well with that red .
Great vid Ben, kudos to you and your film crew for such a snowy shoot! Always fun!! Love to see you rip this beauty in the dry sideways asap. Good looking, V6 ecoboost raptor power, solid power sleek styling, I always loved NOBLE cars and their Raw feeling since ye old days of Top gear! Lookin forward to the 2nd Drive! 🤣👍😎🤘
Superb job Ben. As an American, it makes me happy to see that the low-volume British carmakers are still at it and building beautiful and capable cars! Exceptional commentary. Loving your channel.
I can't wait to see the dry weather test but in honesty this gave some really cool cinematic shots so it was far from a waste of time. That thing looks ace and I have a feeling there is going to be a very long order book for it when its out. There certainly should be.
It's a time of big change in the car world. Whether it's batteries + motors, Toyota's hydrogen ICE through to synthetic fuels in increasingly efficient engines it's all moving so fast. I wonder where we'll be in 5-10 years. Whether it's the instant torque and bonkers 0-60 of a Tesla Plaid or the sound of a V6 Nobel giving it large what makes this all the better is the sheer quality of the content that you and a handful of others are putting out. Thanks Benstig, good man.
This is probably the last thing I'd ever imagined seeing, a noble review in the snow!😮 That's quite the way to market the changes they made to make it more livable.
What a coincidence! Ive been talking about noble for the past few days! I saw the m500 a year or two ago at their factory. Im so glad they got it finished. I hope the m600 still lives on also because that is truly a special car
I love Noble cars... From the M12 which blew everyones socks off to this gorgeous, unexpected gem! Seeming design cues from the Ferrari 458 ( imo possibly the most beautiful of cars) and historic tid bits from the old Honda CRX ( my first "sporty" car so i wear my bias with pride lol). Back to basics analogue beauty...i want one ❤
Great to see Noble alive and kicking and sticking to their guns. If I remember correctly this car was to be introduced a few years ago, so I wasn't optimistic that it will ever reach production.
Superb ,I’m 51 years old and remember the first one in kit car magazines when I was at school . M10 I think? Long ago😂😂 Iv enjoyed their evolution over the years . Please review again in summer👍
I've no doubt some of the naysayers will be labelling this car as "a parts bin special"🤦, but when it looks this good, frankly my dear those guys can do one! I wish Noble much success with this new car, they deserve it 👏🥳🥂
That is a gorgeous car inside and out. Great review Ben, hope you get to drive it in the dry on a nice sunny day. Really enjoyed the interview in the garage as well.
What a gorgeous beast, so glad Noble is keeping going as they really build some blinding cars and happy they’ve gone back to the lovely V6 too. Mind you that was barely a test and more of a flood!
Stunning car and best looking Noble since the M15. I'd be surprised if sales figures don't exceed previous models. Beautiful 'Mangustaesque' rear end. I wish them all every success.😊
Very glad to see Noble with another great car - not so sure about the wild drone shots though, we're here for cars and to hear your opinion, not for drone stunts and sickness inducing shots
What a drive Ben. The camera work was amazing. Love the car and can’t wait for you to drive this in better weather. You did an outstanding job. My bottle would have gone. Lol
Lovely organic shape. Definitely did well with that rear end design. I like the practical approach to the whole thing. Drivetrain that makes sense and very much attainable when replacement parts are needed. It just seems like these guys value their potential customers in the whole experience, from driving to maintenance. No fluff. Svelte 1250kg target too. Excellent car.
Wow!! The way that it just works in the worst possible conditions, you know it will be stupendous in the dry........ looking forward to seeing that Ben..............
Beautiful car. I had the honour and pleasure to own a Noble M12 for a few years and it remains one of my absolute favourite cars. Pricing seems a tad steep in the context of the Emira against which I think it is most fairly compared, but knowing that some of the underpinnings are M600 derived should ensure healthy sales...wishing the team the best of luck on making this the success it deserves to be.
Wow, that must of only been two weeks ago, i live a mile away and while you were blasting that around Coombe in the snow, i was rushing to cover my pond up 🤣🤣
Perfect weather if I don’t fall off the track and Ben enjoyed it proves that the grandson of the 600 knows how to behave and no longer scary. Well not to much 😀
Another great review Ben, thanks. The Noble really is an interesting car - most modern cars leave me cold, but this has impressed. The only other modern car that's really impressed me is the Pagani that Harry Metcalf featured recently, so the Noble is in good company!
Great video Ben. Lovely driving weather too 🤣 I'm very pleased to hear Noble are still around, and still developing cars. It was a nice surprise to see the thumbnail of a new, mid-engined Noble review in my feed. I've never seen a Noble in Australia, but maybe there are a few special, privately imported cars getting around. We drive on the correct side of the road, just like you people from the motherland do.
Well said Ben being the first to test it! Bravo! I had the slow one, an M12 2.5 from 2002. It only did 0-60 mph in 3.9 and 0-100mph in 9.4😊Happy Xmas to u n yours really enjoying your vides!👏🏽👏🏽
Woah Noble is back, love the looks of the M500 and also looks like it's going to be a proper analog driving machine :) Ben great video we need more reviews by you ;)
Never thought we'd see Noble again to be honest...
Hence why I clicked
It was quite Noble of them to show up again.
At least they showed up in their classical fashion, instead of becoming something else
Strap in, its been quite a few years between the mule and the new press car. Actual production might be a while off lol
Same, but I’m glad that we have!
So great to see that Noble are still around. A guy who lives in my area has an M12, and its always a treat to see.
With Lotus seemingly going away from cars like this, the lightweight manual British sports car still lives on with Noble!
Sure is!
@@Flared the legacy must live! Internal combustion engines will stay with humanity forever.
Because Lotus, and Jaguar too, are 100% Chinese owned now and they care little for heritage and brand identity.

I still have my M400. Had it 12 years now. Incredible car.
think we are approaching a u-turn - question is when

As a Canadian, I have great respect that you did not cancel the shoot due to the snow.😊☃️
Yes!!! ❄️🥶❄️ from Winnipeg.
Its so cool that there is still room for small manufacturers like these.
That red really pops against the snowy white backdrop. Very Noble of them to let you drive it in such conditions.
Santa's sleigh got an upgrade
Class engineering. You Brits are awesome neighbours to have bringing this and other marvels to the world. Hi from Dublin
We love you too. From England.
First positive comment I have heard from an Irish person for a very very very long time 😂❤
You have a wonderful city must go back one day , Merry Christmas 🎅
stunning design, looks amazing - Beyond my scope but good to see Noble still going strong :)
It really is!

you can make an exact replica kit car for sub £15k .

Noble is so underrated. Some of the best inventions ever came from a few blokes in a shed somewhere.
I like the drone shots with the snow. He looks to be having fun
drone pilot's a legend
Chuffed to see a new Noble and chuffed they've stuck with solid engineering and light weight. Cheers!
oh this is GOOD news, thank you very much Ben and well done Noble!, once again ....

Another brilliant video from Mr Collins and another stunning car from Noble
Cool , about the only thing left of England that we can be proud of ….. and what a charming gent Peter is
❤👍🏴
Lovely drone footage too that snow covered grass contrasts well with that red .
Another top class video. Only Ben can do a supercar track test in the snow! Great to see Noble back with a new car and what a beautiful car!!
This car will always have a place in my heart after seeing Hammond pushing it to the limit in Imola. Great video! Thanks 🙏
Dude you need a full show. This is awesome.
I wish Noble every success.
Good job NOBLE, Shes a beauty... even is possibly the worst weather you could have got for the shoot.
Great vid, great drive, and congrats on the 200k subs Ben, you are killing it with this UA-cam gig.
Great vid Ben, kudos to you and your film crew for such a snowy shoot! Always fun!! Love to see you rip this beauty in the dry sideways asap. Good looking, V6 ecoboost raptor power, solid power sleek styling, I always loved NOBLE cars and their Raw feeling since ye old days of Top gear! Lookin forward to the 2nd Drive! 🤣👍😎🤘
think it deserves a sticky tyre run somewhere!
Looks fabulous, the rear end in particular is really tasteful but exciting
Superb job Ben. As an American, it makes me happy to see that the low-volume British carmakers are still at it and building beautiful and capable cars! Exceptional commentary. Loving your channel.
Amazing how engaging you made this given the weather.
Wow. Thank you Noble for delivering this into the world. Beautiful. Ferrari 458 mother, Lamborghini Revuelto, father, dirty weekend in Leicester..
I can't wait to see the dry weather test but in honesty this gave some really cool cinematic shots so it was far from a waste of time.
That thing looks ace and I have a feeling there is going to be a very long order book for it when its out. There certainly should be.
Great job team at Noble! Thank you for making cars like this!
Glad you enjoy it!
No hybrid, not EV, the future, well done Noble, without an engine it's not a car👌👌, good video Ben 👍
Thanks for that!

I must say, the design looks better than I initially seen in pictures. Nice looking car.

What a gorgeous looking car, beautifully styled.
It really is!
so glad Peter went ahead and kept Noble alive, stunning car! But, still ... I'll stay with the M600 😜
Gorgeous looking car and great to see it put through its paces in atrocious conditions. Great video.😊
Thank you! 👍
Drone flying during the snow is just as amazing as the driving haha 😂
A beautiful, artisan car... the fact it has three pedals makes it very appealing.
Looks like a fabulous car. Can’t wait to see the dry test.
I love Noble cars... From the M12 which blew everyones socks off to this gorgeous, unexpected gem!

So pleased to see these guys back!!
The guy you interviewed, sorry I missed his name, what a proper Englishman, cardigan with bottom button open etc. What a guy. Proper bloke.
Such a more elegant, flowing, and "matching" design than say, the new corvette for example. Well done Noble. Looks like it's fun to drive 😅
Credit to the drone pilot. Can’t be easy following the Stig. 👌🏻
beautiful fpv shots!
Such a beautiful car! I love the idea behind it, modern yet old school, raw yet user-friendly. Was awesome to see it go round my local track too!
Superb ,I’m 51 years old and remember the first one in kit car magazines when I was at school .
M10 I think? Long ago😂😂
Iv enjoyed their evolution over the years .
Please review again in summer👍
What a great looking car especially the twin gills on the side.
Great to see Noble back.
i'm glad that noble still build cars and they still have its specific old school vibe :)
I could see this as being better than so many cars out there. Good video 😊
Thanks! 👍
I've no doubt some of the naysayers will be labelling this car as "a parts bin special"🤦, but when it looks this good, frankly my dear those guys can do one! I wish Noble much success with this new car, they deserve it 👏🥳🥂
Wow, I think the M500 may just be my Car of the Year!
Just wish I was at my local track to see it circulate.
Beautiful car, sticking with what enthusiasts are asking for. What a great company, hopefully they can keep at it.
Your camera man doing the Lords work on that drone. So good to see Noble are doing a new car again.
Damiano - some say he once flew through a volcano and it melted the volcano
What an absolutely fantastic car. Right up there with the best supercar designs. Bloody marvellous!!
That is a gorgeous car inside and out. Great review Ben, hope you get to drive it in the dry on a nice sunny day. Really enjoyed the interview in the garage as well.

Very glad to see Noble with another great car - not so sure about the wild drone shots though, we're here for cars and to hear your opinion, not for drone stunts and sickness inducing shots
British Gt40 especially with those Buttresses and V6 Ford engine. Great to see Noble building another great car 🇬🇧
Lovely to see a new car from Noble, little bit mclaren and TVR sagaris on the back end without being a pastiche. Look like it handles like a dream
My mum and step dad used to have a Noble M12 GTO 3R, what an amazing car that was.
What a drive Ben.
The camera work was amazing.
Love the car and can’t wait for you to drive this in better weather.

It's stunning, has a strong resemblance to the F8 Tributo in my eyes.
Welcome back Noble 🌟
Peter is a master of dodging questions, but great to see a new noble 👌
Best motorsport channel hands down. Just look at the production quality
Noble - the gentleman’s TVR. Lord I want one.
Well, it's stunning!
Great to see another car from Noble. What a beauty it is too....
What a looker too. Noble always gave me "function over form" aesthetic vibes but this is genuinely pretty
Noble has put out a beautiful piece of kit...
Would definitely like to see you revisit this on a dry track.
Get it set up.
Please Noble.
Gorgeous car 😍. Of course leave it to The Stig to take on a Noble in those weather conditions 🫣, my hero 👍🏼
Well said Ben being the first to test it! Bravo! I had the slow one, an M12 2.5 from 2002. It only did 0-60 mph in 3.9 and 0-100mph in 9.4😊Happy Xmas to u n yours really enjoying your vides!👏🏽👏🏽

Ben great video we need more reviews by you ;)
Honourable mention for your drone pilot. He was showing off, despite the conditions. Car looks great !
Absolutely
I love it mate. Wise purchase 😎.
God the gestation on this has been a long long time. So glad it's nearly ready for production👍👍👍
I like your ad for Live Fast, quick, nice, to the point, other creators should learn from Ben.
thank you it made me chuckle :)
Production quality is spot on 🙌
