im pretty sure its a kit car. you buy it and you can assemble it yourself and pick a motor to use. they recommend the ford motor. i think its a twin turbo setup.

This has been one of my (affordable) dream cars since I can remember. The M400 is a slight step up from the M12. 3.0L Ford V6 Twin Turbo, 425 hp. I believe the 400 represents the hp per ton ratio (curb weight 2300-ish pounds). If I remember right the body is made in Africa or something like that. For what you get in performance, well worth the money IMO. Great track cars.

4.4L V8 TT
650 hp
2800 lbs.

I friend of mine has one and loves it. His has a mere 625BHP. I think it the fastest one in the country. Be ready for alot of trouble!!!! He gave up on using it as a track car because of all the issues.

There is at least one pic on our website at www.gttrackdays.com or

Been around for a couple years, the new one uses a Volvo motor I believe. I see them fairly often up at RA, cool cars!

Yeah, I first found out about them because they had a tent set up at Road America. Back then they just had the M1. It went whizzing around us during spectator lapping and I think I fell in love. I've also seen one of the Nobles on Top Gear, can't remember which one.
