British sports car maker Noble unveiled a mock-up of its forthcoming entry-level sports car at the 2018 Goodwood Festival of Speed this week. Called the M500, the sports car includes a handful of parts plucked from various other cars. Can you spot the Chevrolet C7 Corvette components?
They’ll stare drivers in the face; the M500 features headlights from a C7 Corvette. At the rear, the taillights come from a Citroen.
The bigger news isn’t about General Motors, though. Ford Authority reported on Thursday that the Noble M500 will feature Ford power—a 3.5-liter twin-turbo Ecoboost V6 engine. The mill will reportedly produce up to 550 horsepower.
It’s the latest in a long-running tradition of Ford engines and Noble sports cars. Previous models used modified 2.5-liter and 3.0-liter Ford Duratec V6 engines with a pair of turbochargers.
Pricing and availability for the M500 are unknown but look for the sports car to enter production sometime in 2019.

“In a turn of events, fans of the noble 500 discovered that it was actually the new mid-engine corvette”
Will the Noble M500’s 3.5 Ecoboost be made in Mexico like the ones Ford is using in the 2018 F-150 and 2018 Raptor?
