New Noble Supercar Will Bear the Name Fenix
By Chris Weiss
Despite having left his namesake British supercar company Noble Automotive, Lee Noble is back in the game and plans to begin development on an all-new supercar.
His new company is called Fenix Automotive and the first Fenix is planned to be a lightweight, mid-engine coupe that can capture a sub-seven-second 0 to 100 mph. The car will feature a powerful V8 engine and is intended to be ‘one of the most dramatic supercars of the century’ thanks in part to the moderate price tag of 75,000 pounds (app. $125K). Noble also mentioned an interesting feature that will make the first Fenix practical both on road and track, though apparently didn’t elaborate from there.
Fenix is currently working on the car in South Africa with an intended launch late next year. Until details and pictures of this one come out, enjoy the Noble M15 in the gallery below. [via EVO] [Lead Pic: Alan D]

Be nice if this asshole would get with the 21st century and produce and Electric car! Gasoline V -8's are rapidly becoming museum pieces! Even Corvette's mother GM(America) is suffering bankruptcy! Get your head out of your Yankee Doodle mimicking asshole and build something to compete with Tesla, Aptera – The future of what is left of the Automotive world! World's Gasoline is now to be shared with Asians – they have more money than we do! They get the biggest share! They like practical cars not this bull Shiite! They will soon go electric! America has no oil, lots of sun, wind, uranium hence lots of electric – expect electric to take over! Expect distance travel to be done in the bar-car of Electric bullet trains, not behind steering wheels or cramped aircraft! The times are a changin! Haven't you heard the news?
