Auto Car | Noble N14 | The 2004 British Motor Show will see the Noble M14 unveiled for the first time. Far from being a mere concept, the show car’s styling, interior, drivetrain and chassis represent what will reach production when the car goes on sale in October this year.
From the M14’s conception, Lee Noble has focused on creating a form that eschews current design trends, and majors on a far more emotive shape, led by broad, sweeping curves along the car’s flanks, an aggressive front treatment and a graceful – yet imposing – rear end.
“Passion has dominated the M14’s design philosophy,” says Lee, “but we’ve also ensured that the car has a thoroughly bespoke feel in its detailing.”
This fact is obvious when you look more closely at the car: beautifully engineered door handles, hewn from billets of aluminium; six circular rear light lenses, which make reference to legendary supercars from the past; the rear screen, which reveals the engine’s plenum chamber protruding above the perforated aluminium engine cover; and the body-coloured rear diffuser, which cuts deep into the rear panel, highlighting the twin exhausts which exit from its centre.
Overall, 95 per cent of the components which make up the M14 (excluding the drivetrain) are distinct from the current M12 series of cars, and an additional 70 per cent of components are now made in house, compared with previous Noble models.
