My FH5 Log: Noblesse

Once upon a time; there were two nobles arrived in Mexico in style. One is the veteran in the world of Forza and the other is a new face from the 2000s. One is a DLC car, the other is a Dry Season Playlist prize car. Who could those nobles be? Let's find out.


These are the nobles in question. The noble on the left is the M600, a Series 5 Dry Season Playlist prize car. The other noble on the right is the M400, a DLC car. These two nobles are real supercars built for real drivers and because they lack the driving aids that most modern supercars possess, they are real drivers' cars only a skillful can drive one of these.


The M400 picks up where its M12 predecessor left off. While most components derived from the M12, the M400's 3.0L V6 twin-turbo engine produces 21% more than the M12, delivering 425hp of power and 390ft-lb of torque. With its lightweight bodywork, it has a power-to-weight ratio of 400hp.


Forza fanatics are already familiar with the Noble M600. It's a no-nonsense supercar that is powered by a Volvo-derived, Yamaha-tuned 4.4L V8 Twin Turbo engine that produces, in RACE Mode, 650hp of power, which is less than today's supercar offerings from the Italians but because of its 1250kg of weight, the M600 has a stronger power-to-weight ratio than the Bugatti Veyron, making it capable of hitting a theoretical top speed of 225mph. Free from almost all of the electrical nannies, except for the unique Traction Control switch, the Noble M600 is a very manly supercar reserved for the bravest drivers who want to exploit the car's potential beyond the limit. Fun fact the M600 appeared F8 as the car Mrs. Shaw, played by Dame Helen Mirren, raced with.



Having gotten to know these two nobles, it's time to show these two the way with a quick race. Be warned. Because these nobles have no electronics, racing one of these is like wrestling with a grizzly bear in a dark alley. Here they come, roll the tape.



Didn't say I warned you...


It's true what the car enthusiasts say that the two nobles like the M400 and the M600 are true sportscars built by purists, for purists. With no electronics involved, these two serious machines love to rock out loud and old-school. Although becoming irrelevant in this age of the new normal, they're still a blast to drive 'till the last drop.

These are what we called...noble works.

Enjoy your new rides!
