Remember the Noble M400? Designed in 2004 by a Brit named Lee Noble, it offered super-car performance for about the price of a new 911. The 2,400lb Whippet of a car used a 425hp twin-turbo Ford V6 to propel its fiberglass skin to 60mph in only 3.5 seconds, topping out at an impressive 185mph. Lee sold the company to 1Q Racing a few years ago, but as they say, you can't keep a good man down.

His new company, ironically named Fenix Automotive, is based in South Africa, and has released pictures of its first car. This is the Fenix Supercar, and if Mr. Noble's past is any indicator, it will be a light-footed missile of a car. 

It's official.... The Zagato Perana Z-One that has been floating around in conceptual render form for months is now coming to fruition. The production version will be available to European buyers starting July of this year. Only 999 cars will be built per annum, and with a price tag of only 50,000 Euros, they are sure to be in short supply.
