Quality Motor insurers given Noble release price for services to customers.

Prestige car insurers, Prestigecarinsurance.com, have been given the price and other information about the new Noble M15. Like Prestigecarinsurance.com a born winner in the making. As Prestigecarinsurance.com leaves their prestige motor insurance competition in their wake, the team here at Prestigecarinsurance.com are expecting similar results from the Noble. Put these 2 'stars' together, and as a Quality Motor Insurer with Prestigecarinsurance.com client, you'll be in motoring heaven.

One of our journalists takes a look at the car in question.

If you've just accidentally killed your boss, fooled his young, non-English speaking wife/Bank Manager/cleaner into thinking that you're him, and effortlessly assumed his identity (even though you're at least 6 stone lighter, born a good decade later, come complete with hair follicles and possess a stomach that actually exposes something resembling a belly-button), then I have a suggestion.

Perhaps, as is more likely, (and less illegal) your dear, beloved, but inexplicably loaded Granny has just sadly, baked her last fruitcake. Then, once more, I have news you may wish to hear.

Or miracle upon miracle, (who would have seen this one coming) you've come into a bit of cash by your own blood, sweat, toil and tears. Predicting Leyton Orient were going to draw 1-1 with Stevenage Borough (because of course you're a leading authority on 'soccer') has afforded you entry into the Jet Set. Well, maybe not the jet set, but put it this way, you'll no longer be crossing various time zones with normal travel chum Samsonite.

Thing is, what exactly does £100,000 get you these days?

It's just enough to loose your friends, but not actually that much to get you noticed.

Unless that is you splash £74,950 on the Noble M15. The Leicester-based small volume, big ideas sports car manufacturer has just unveiled that only too rare of automotive sights - that can best be described in 5 nouns. 2 of which sound like they've been lifted straight from the pages of 1940's crime novel, the 3 rd and 4 th - convoluted jargon commonplace in the early part of the 21 st century, and the 5 th, actually forcing you to damn nearly choke on your vintage Dom Perignon.

Niche. British. User-friendly. Supercar.

See what I mean?

Still dusting itself down after bloodying the noses of Sports car royalty, courtesy of its truly awesome M12, the rather aptly-named Noble is again relishing another bruising encounter with some more motoring toffs.

Limbering up at the imminent weigh in are, the upper crust street brawlers you would expect to find tipping the Supercar scales, the heavyweights likes of the Ferrari, and its light on the toes F430, Lamborghini's brooding, menacing Gallardo, aswell as surprise, and as yet unknown package - Lotus' Esprit. All sticklers for the Queensbury rules, yet none of them showing off the honed in South Africa body that the one they call M15 lives in, and will soon be worshipped at the feet of.

However based on previous performances, we expect no one to give an inch once the gloves are off.

The temple-like Noble, money for money, is pitched against the more super-middleweights - the Porsche 911, BMW's M cars, and other independents out there such as TVR, and its T400R; cars so inferior they'd be on the ropes before the first round was through; hence the ambitious Noble being thrown in with the big punchers from the bell.

Pound for pound, how many of these supposed challengers can muster a face-disfiguring 0-60 time of just 3.3seconds?

And 4.5 seconds later acknowledge passing 100mph. If they could move a facial muscle that is, as the peaky-looking incumbent futilely attempts to control the 455 horses unleashed by the longitudinally, (as opposed to noble's previously favoured transversally mounted) 3.0 litre, twin-turbo, V6 engine.

If your frontal features haven't been re-stamped on the back of your head, you'll notice that the car is good for 185mph top whack too. (Noble says the car could have been geared to reach 200 - but alternatively designed it to have strong acceleration through the range instead)

The drivers contact with which comes via a new 6-speed manual gearbox. Ironically developed by the company that supplies Ferrari, Lamborghini and Aston Martin.

Infact, the successor to 2004's M14 concept, as this is, in theory, bears only a smattering of resemblance in practice. Benefiting as it does from all-new chassis, drive train configuration, interior and body. Oh, and more power, (So basically, a different car then) it is only the engine that remains from M14. Itself, how can I put this, tweaked a little? A combination of all round double wishbone suspension and coil springs, mated with the extensively developed chassis makes for what founder Lee Noble insists is; "A very mature and focused Supercar, infused with a degree of liveability. It was time for Noble to take a big step up in terms of refinement, practicality and style".

Due to the fact you can buy a heavier Ford Fiesta, might go some way to explain why Noble's fastest ever model, and most expensive; (in both categories more than both, the hardly-lethargic m400, and, pedestrian-paced M12 GTO-3R) so ably demonstrates the rapidity of movement it does.

One thing's for sure, turn a few heads it will, causing instantaneous paralysis in the unfortunate that succumb to temptation. So be warned.

Building on the success of the no-compromise M12, this Noble has all the luxuries you've come not to expect from the marque too. Not just the general ambience and feel of fit and finish but in equipment levels..Sat Nav is standard, and so, possibly the biggest shock of all in a car of this pedigree, 300 litres of luggage space. Nearly enough room for my mate Samsonite, it's divided between front and rear compartments.

So there you have it, worth all manner of fraud, murder, impersonation and downright good luck to the lucky owner of, the Noble M15 might well be throwing its baseball cap into a very tough ring, littered with expensive headgear, but I've no reason to doubt the impact that this car is going to have once in their, fighting well above its weight.
