    THESE are the first pictures of the latest stunning 200mph British supercar.
    It's the work of Leicestershire-based sports car maker, Lee Noble, and the first model to come from his new company, Fenix Automotive.

    The yet-to-be-named supercar features a design that is reminiscent of Noble's iconic supercars, the M600 and M12. However, the Fenix gets much more sinister and angular lines, similar to those of the fighter jet-inspired Lamborghini Reventón.

    Noble said: "The M12 was hugely successful, but we needed to move the game on in terms of design.

    "It's edgy, with powerful lines, and aerodynamically will be in another league to any of my previous cars."

    Under the bonnet you get a choice of two Corvette engines, giving 480bhp and 638bhp. The latter is lifted from the supercharged ZR1, and will help the Fenix hit 0-100mph in just under seven seconds on its way to a 200mph top speed.

    The prototype is being built in South Africa and development will switch to the UK in the coming weeks.

    Initially Fenix will produce around 60 or 70 cars a year, but Noble envisages a capacity of up to 500 per year when sales start in America, Japan and other markets.

    It's likely to be priced around £70,000.

    The best part is that it will only cost 70K :)

    Wow, they've invented the Lamborghini with a Corvette engine and named it after a diet pill.
