StarLight Garage suggests automobile gems to be included in the Gran Turismo Series.
The British Noble M600 Carbon Sport from 2015 is certainly one of those cars.
As mention in the name this whole car is made of carbon ... seems to be the trend for 2015.
The gorgeous Bordeau color is looking pretty good as well.
Enjoy!

Mid-engine supercars are not just hard to design and manufacture. They are hard every step of the way: sales, marketing, performance, reliability, safety and emissions…. the list goes on.
What is humdrum daily life for millions of Toyota Corolla’s is far tougher to achieve in the hypercar realm. This applies to the big names as well as the new-comers like Noble, for whom the M600 is really just their second all-new car.
The key difference in how the Noble approaches the Supercar / Hypercar divide is defined in one term: handling balance.
Unlike the handful of other rear-drive, ultra-exotic cars with a $400,000-plus price tag — the Noble team is not compromising on chassis designs.
Noble’s goal with the M600 was to define all these hard points themselves — for the optimal driving experience.
Luckily for supercar shoppers in Asia and the UK where the M600 is sold, the Noble Cars team has aced the hardest supercar test — making a 650-horsepower, mid-engine car drive neutrally and naturally with few nasty surprises. This speaks to the Noble Cars expertise with the ultra-short M12 — a car whose tiny wheelbase puts any handling tweak under the microscope — as well as a general design excellence from day one. The twin-turbocharged V8 might share its block with the Yamaha V8 run by Volvo for a few years. But guess what else the Yamaha engineers created?
The LF-A V10 from Lexus — which is sure to be known in history as one of the best-sounding supercar motors ever made.
The M600 Carbon Sport edition drapes the bare carbon in a lovely paint glaze that is semi-transparent and very glossy. The lower air channels and spoilers are a new design, which the skinny-spoke new alloy wheels are a fantastic update for the M600’s brutal, macho style essence.
