Pure Driving

   If you are an automotive purist like I can be sometimes and all that you want in a car is an engine, a true manual transmission, two seats, a steering wheel and just a touch of traction control, then this car is the perfect fit for you.  The Noble M600 is about as pure as it has ever gotten besides having to buy a legitimate race car.

      Now, lets take a look at what makes this thing tick.  It is powered by a V8 engine from a Volvo XC-90, with a couple turbochargers added as well.  The result is a mind boggling 660 horsepower that sends the car to a staggering 225 miles per hour. The other key reason for the success of this car is because of the light weight, it only weighs about 1,200 kilograms due largely in part to the stainless steel frame, which also cuts down on the price quite a bit compared to those cars made out of carbon fiber instead.

      I mentioned that this was a true manual transmission, and by that  I meant that the car has three pedals, and a stick in the console.  If you need more explaining than that, please kindly exit my blog and go do your research before you come back.
