The Noble M15 is intended to appeal to a far broader market than the M12-GTO3R or the M400 and compete directly with the Porsche 911 Turbo/GT-3 and Ferrari F430.

The car is based on a brand new platform with a longitudinally-mounted engine connected to a bespoke gearbox created by Graziano.

Like all the Noble M models, the M15 has a steel spaceframe and roll cage covered with graphite-reinforced plastic body panelling, ventilated disc brakes front and rear, but unlike the previous models is designed to be more of a grand tourer/everyday sports car (an example of which would be the now-defunct Honda NSX) rather than an all-out track day car.

When it was handed over to Top Gear's 'tame racing driver', The Stig, it completed a lap of their circuit in 1:22.5, a time faster than a Ferrari F430 (1:22.9), and an Audi R8 (1:24.4).

[3] The Noble M15 has a twin-turbo 3.0 L; 181.1 cu in (2,967 cc) Ford Duratec V6 which produces 455 bhp (461 PS; 339 kW) at 6800 rpm and 455 lb⋅ft (617 N⋅m) at 4800 rpm of torque, can accelerate it from 0-60 mph (97 km/h) in 3.3 seconds and is capable of a top speed of 185 mph (298 km/h).
