Noble M600 Speedster For Sale: An In-Depth Look at the Hand-Built British Icon
Welcome to Shocknaue Entertainment News, where we explore the fascinating world of high-performance vehicles that blend engineering prowess with artistic craftsmanship. In this feature, we take a close look at a truly exclusive automobile that embodies a purist driving philosophy: the Noble M600 Speedster. For those seeking an unparalleled driving experience combined with extreme rarity, the Noble M600 Speedster For Sale represents the pinnacle of bespoke British manufacturing.
Noble Automotive operates with a distinct philosophy, positioning itself not in direct competition with mainstream supercar manufacturers but rather as an “artisan manufacturer.” Their core ethos is centered on delivering driving purity and deep involvement for serious drivers. Unlike many modern supercars that heavily rely on electronic aids and computer intervention, Noble’s approach is deliberately analog, focusing on rewarding the driver through mechanical connection and feedback. Each car is meticulously hand-built in England, tailored precisely to the individual requirements of their exacting clientele by a dedicated team of craftsmen. Designed to be superlight, incredibly rare, and exclusive, Noble cars prioritize lightness and agility, promising the ultimate driver reward coupled with an exhilarating rush of adrenaline.
Noble believes that excessive driver assistance in many supercars diminishes the true reward of driving. Their back-to-basics methodology emphasizes analogue qualities and pure engineering integrity from the chassis up. This design principle ensures that the driving experience is an honest reflection of the driver’s skill, effectively placing the driver back in complete control. Simply put, the Noble M600 is crafted for those who genuinely love to drive.
The M600 is not merely assembled; it is meticulously hand-built in England and individually finished to the owner’s precise taste and aesthetic demands. Exterior color choice is limited only by the buyer’s imagination. For clients desiring an even more rare and individual statement, Noble offers the M600 CarbonSport, which features visible carbon weave that can be finished in either natural lacquered weave or a custom color tint. Every Noble M600 is intended to be a unique reflection of its owner’s personality and individuality.
Clients are actively encouraged to participate throughout the build process. Noble invites and welcomes owners to visit the factory, view the progress of their car’s creation, and meet the engineers and personnel involved. They believe that fostering a lasting personal relationship between the client and the manufacturer is a significant benefit of low-volume, hand-crafted motor manufacturing.
While primarily designed for speed and handling, the M600 does not sacrifice comfort or practicality. The cabin boasts a traditional bespoke British hand-built finish, offering choices of leather, suede, or Alcantara upholstery. Owners can select contrast or matching twin-needle stitching. The interior features exposed carbon center console, door cards, and gear knob, complemented by hand-turned knobs and bezels and fine quality wool carpets bound with leather edges.
The seats, designed and created exclusively for the M600, utilize lightweight carbon fibre composite construction. They can be bespoke upholstered to individual requirements, with seat backs finished in natural exposed carbon or painted to match the exterior. Seat panels offer any combination or color choice, further enhancing the customizability.

The M600 is available in three distinct variants: the M600 Coupe, the M600 CarbonSport, and the M600 Speedster. The Coupe is the original model, featuring a painted carbon fibre body. While all three variants incorporate carbon construction, the Coupe is distinguished by its painted finish, though areas can be left with exposed carbon. All three models share the same core running gear and performance capabilities. Like all Noble models, the Coupe is fully bespoke, offering an unlimited color palette for both the interior and exterior.
Noble pioneered the art of the fully exposed carbon body finish. After extensive experimentation, they perfected this intricate technique. Adding another layer of complexity, they also offer a colored carbon finish. This is achieved by using specially formulated automotive ‘inks’ mixed with the finishing lacquer, allowing the distinctive herringbone carbon weave to remain visible, resulting in a truly impressive and unique aesthetic. Achieving a consistent tint across the complex surfaces of the body is a challenging and highly skilled feat. Carbon fibre, in its natural state, is a fabric that stretches and moves during the lay-up process, making perfection difficult. Consequently, only the absolute best panels are selected for the CarbonSport build. While incredibly time-consuming, the originality and rarity of this finish make it almost unique in the automotive world.
Many enthusiasts questioned Noble’s decision to create a Speedster variant by removing the roof of the M600. Given Noble’s reputation for a purist, driver-reward approach where handling and performance are paramount, the question arose: how does a roadster, often perceived as sacrificing rigidity and performance, fit their ethos? Due to Noble’s fixated approach to chassis design, removing the roof on the M600 Speedster has remarkably had no detrimental effect on either handling or weight. The carbon body on the M600 models is not structural; rather like a Le Mans racing car, it serves as “clothing” for the robust structure underneath. Therefore, the incredible performance of the M600 remains unaffected in the Speedster, save for the expected aerodynamic effects when the roof is off.
