The Rossion Q1 is an American mid-engined sports car from Rossion Automotive. The Q1 is based on the Noble M400, with a new body, and a number of changes to the suspension and interior. The Q1 was sold as a kit car, with the buyer responsible for sourcing and installing the powertrain, though shops like American Speed Factory offered full engine installations.[2]
History
Development on the Q1 began after the rights to the Noble M400 chassis were acquired in February 2007.[3] In June 2013, RP High Performance acquired Mosler Automotive (based in Riviera Beach, Florida) and moved the entire manufacturing facility from South Africa to the current location in the United States. Production of the Q1R, the track version of the existing Q1 model, began in July 2013. A redesign of the Mosler is underway, with the car to be released in the future with no definitive date yet planned. Current Q1 and Q1R models feature a fully carbon-kevlar body.
Powertrain
Like the Noble M400, Rossion recommends builders of Q1s to use a 2967 cc,
