Fenix Supercar Photo Preview

Fenix Automotive, a creation of supercar designer Lee Noble has introduced some photos of its new concept currently under development in South Africa. The £70,000 vehicle will initially be available in the UK in small quantities (about 60-70 per year). They eventually plan to produce 500 cars annually, to be sold globally (including the Japanese and North American markets).

The Fenix is the successor to Noble’s M12, although he says it was a “clean sheet” re-design. He highlighted the aerodynamics of the new car saying it “will be in another league to any of my previous cars.”

The new car will come with two engine options: the 638 hp LS9 found in the Corvette ZR1, or a 480 hp LS3, also from GM. It tips the scales at 1200kg, and boasts some supercar performance specs. The LS9 will propel you to over 200 mph, passing the 100mph mark in under 7 seconds.

Testing of the prototype is scheduled to begin soon in South Africa, but Noble says he is anxious to get the car back to the UK, where he can perfect it’s performance on familiar roads.
