I love the front and sides of the car, but that rear end only further proves my long-running theory that Brits have
no idea how to style the rear of a car.

I quite like it, and the Evo review says the V6 has no turbo lag, as lee noble hates it. Does it matter how many cylinders it has? Of course not, so stop moaning - its not another american engined drag racer, its a track focused gt. Apparently all understeer is engineered out of it, as lee also hates it. He even said himself, that the M15 is 'the bollocks!'
Of course it matters how many cylinders it has. Different types of engines have different amounts and types of vibrations inherent in their design, and these vibrations have to be counter-balanced out, which increases complexity and costs money. The more cylinders an engine has, the more complex it is, and the more money it costs (typically). The fewer cylinders an engine has, the bigger the cylinders have to be to attain the same displacement, and the weight of the pistons, as well as the length of the stroke, force the engine to have a lower rev-limit.
Or would you prefer to see a 5.0L 1-cylinder Noble that produces 1000lb-ft of torque at 500rpm, and a whopping 100hp at 1400rpm, near the redline of 1500rpm?
That would be a pretty good engine for towing a tank, but the tank would be faster.
Also, a V8 is hardly an american-only concept, or a drag-racer-only concept. Or have you never heard of BMWs, Audis, Ferraris, Aston Martins, etc.....?

Also, aimed at you Americans, the Noble easily out accelerates the heavy un-coordinated Corvette Z06, and round a track the M15 is a bit faster than the already rapid M400. That means the Corvette will be left for dead on anything other than a 2 mile drag race.
Don't get me wrong, I don't like the Corvette, and as far as I'm concerned, the C6 Z06's accomplishments have only served to fuel Corvette fanboyism and overrated-ness, but...
3100lbs. is
not heavy -- if you think so, I'm afraid you're living in the 80's.
The C6 Z06 lapped the renowned Nurburgring faster than every form of Porsche 996, the Pagani Zonda C12 S, the Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale, and many other track-worthy cars. It was also only a second off of the pace of the Radical SR3 1500 and Mosler MT900S Photon. The C6 Z06's track abilities cannot be ignored.
If you don't like the Corvette, that's fine. But don't insult it for imaginary reasons.
I'm dissappointed by the pics so far...
. Seriously though, the Sagaris is quicker on a track than both the Gallardo and the M6 by a long shot.
