Rossion Automotive was an American low-volume supercar marque launched in 2006 by 1G Racing, the U.S. distributor for Noble, after acquiring the intellectual and design rights to the Noble M12 and M400 platforms; the brand was owned and led by Ian Grunes and Dean Rosen. Its principal product was the Rossion Q1, a mid-engined, rear-wheel-drive two-seat coupe that reworked the Noble-derived chassis with a revised body and a more refined interior, and that was offered in the United States as a component vehicle, typically supplied as a rolling chassis without engine and transaxle. Period specifications described a steel spaceframe with bonded and riveted alloy panels and an integrated safety cage, double-wishbone suspension, and a recommended twin-turbo 3.0-liter Ford Duratec V6 with a Getrag six-speed manual and Quaife torque-biasing differential, with performance claims around 0–60 mph in the low three-second range and an estimated 185 mph top speed. In 2013, a private entity linked to Rossion (RP High Performance) acquired Mosler Automotive’s assets, with trade reporting stating that the combined operations would continue under the Rossion name and draw on Mosler’s composites experience.
