638 Horses From New Fenix Automotive Offering
Lee Noble is currently working on a new two-seater supercar under the banner of Fenix Automotive out of Port Elizabeth, South Africa. The new LS9 mid-engine equipped offering will feature a double wishbone suspension and space-frame chassis, and utilize the masterminds involved with the Noble M12 build.
“The M12 was hugely successful, but we needed to move the game on in terms of design,” said Noble. “The new car’s styling owes nothing to what I’ve done before and has quite literally been a ‘clean sheet’ exercise from the start. It’s edgy, with powerful lines, and aerodynamically will be in another league to any of my previous cars.”
GM LS9 Delivering 200mph+
The top of the line Fenix build with the supercharged LS9 will cost around $160,000 and produce somewhere in the region of 638hp, though slightly cheaper options may be available building on a 480hp LS3 equipped base model.
This latest Noble rendering currently remains nameless, but we know it will exceed speeds of 200mph, it will hit 60mph from a standstill in 3.5 seconds, and it will be delivered at 2,645lbs. The first prototype has been completed and is currently being fine-tuned on the track, production is expected to start by the middle of this year.
