A new car maker is "BORN"
 
Edited for content length:) Just check this site out.

For those of you familiar with Noble.... this is the niche this company is after.

so it's just a noble clone?

Porrari 05-11-2006 02:06 PM

The car itself has nothing in common with Noble from a particular design standpoint .....only the marketing concept is similar.

}{arlequin 05-11-2006 02:10 PM

so is this just a well-kept secret fueled by the excitement of the unknown or are there actual design specs of the car (chassis) out there?

Porrari 05-11-2006 02:22 PM

There are men in white lab coats in an underground bunker in an undisclosed location developing the car as we speak. Seriously that is not too far from the truth...except for the underground bunker part:)

Funny thing is that there are a few people on Pelican who are aware of the project but haven't said anything. I brought it up because I knew it was ok to do so after the tease site was opened up.

}{arlequin 05-11-2006 02:33 PM

so where is this other chatter about the car? what sites? any links to the discussions?

They haven't gotten around to designing the other parts of it yet! LOL:p

Not a troll...just passing on a link to something that I thought people might be interested in... seeing that this is a automotive enthusiast site . I guess I should use my time in "Off Topic" more wisely, be original and maybe start a political thread or something.

My apologies;)
