The Noble M14 was a prototype vehicle created by Noble Automotive that debuted at the 2004 British Motorshow.

It had 400 bhp @ 6,100 rpm from a highly-modified version of Ford's 3.0 litre (2,968 cc) V6 using a six-speed manual transmission and twin turbochargers. The engine developed 385 ft·lbf of torque @ 4,750 rpm. It was planned to have a power-to-weight ratio of 363 bhp per ton, and to get to 60 mph in 4.3 seconds with a maximum speed of 190 mph.

Noble expected it to compete with cars like the upcoming Porsche 911 Turbo and Ferrari F430. It was expected to cost £75,000.

Following the debut of the vehicle Lee Noble the creator of the car decided that it was insufficiently advanced over the current range of Noble cars to justify its price tag. Noble transferred development to a new car the Noble M15, the M15 was launched in early 2006.
