Noble M500 Borrows Parts From Handful Of Cars, Including The C7 Corvette

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.

  2. 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?
