Unique Attributes
- It has the ability to change the output to 450 BHP or 550 BHP (Original output: 650 BHP) through a switch. Noble call this technology "Adaptable Performance Control or APC".
- The switch that is used to turn the Traction Control off is the same that is used in a Tornado fighter bomber so it can't be used by accident.
Interior
It features Air Conditioning and Radio. It comes with carbon fibre, leather upholstered Sparco bucket seats with normal Three-point seatbelts (Five-point harness is optional). Most of the interior is upholstered in leather while the central console is made from carbon fiber. The Gearleaver is rised from the central console for faster and easier access to the driver. Both the steering wheel and the seats are adjustable although the seats only in reach (Forwards/Backwards). It also has a big boot for a supercar. Also according to motoring journalist and TV presenter Jeremy Clarkson, is very comfortable. He says "It's quiet and extremely comfortable. It really does ride beatifully.".

Criticisms
The brakes, while servo assisted, are "barely" assisted and with no ABS, its very easy to lock the wheels. Also according to motoring journalist John Barker, the door mirrors get in the way if you try to look if anything is coming. He says, "The driver’s door mirror gets in the way looking into right-hand turns". It has very limited availability due to the fact that only 50 are made every year.
