Lee Antony Noble (born January 1958)[1] is a British entrepreneur, car designer and engineer. He is the founder of the sports car companies Noble Automotive Ltd in 1999 and Fenix Automotive in 2009.[2] He is also the designer of some low-volume sports cars, including the Ultima Mk1, Ultima Mk2, Ultima Mk3, Midtec Spyder and Ascari FGT.
Noble's designs have also been further developed beyond his own involvement, resulting in designs such as the Ultima GTR, Ascari Ecosse,[3] Noble M400,[4] Noble M600,[5] Rossion Q1 and designs such as the Salica GT,[6] which was never made. His style for sports cars is to start with a lightweight space frame, have a big powerful engine and an aerodynamic sports-racer body. Almost all the cars Noble has designed have been mid-engined.
In 2012 Noble was involved in the design of the Arrinera Hussarya supercar that will be produced in Poland.[7]
