The Rossion Q1 is an upcoming sports car from US car maker 1g Racing/Rossion Automotive. It shares many similarities with the Noble M400 which it is based on. Founders Ian Grunes and Dean Rosen began development on the Rossion Q1 after acquiring the rights to the Noble M400 in February 2007, they set out to design a completely new car fusing the strengths of the M400 with the luxurious appointments that define a supercar.

The Rossion Q1 has a max power of 450 bhp (340 kW) at 6500 rpm, with a torque figure of 400 ft·lbf (540 N·m) at 5000 rpm. It has a power to weight ratio of 418 bhp/ton. Its has a 0-60 mph (97 km/h) of 3.3 seconds(est) and a 0-100 mph (160 km/h) of 8.0 seconds(est) And an estimated top speed of 185 mph (298 km/h). As with the Noble M400 it is said that it will also use a mid-mounted, transverse, twin turbocharged V6 Ford Duratec engine.

The Q1 benefits from large charge air cooler intakes integrated into the body shape, with cool energized ram air gathered through carefully integrated side window (B pillar) ducts. In the rear, a deep, efficient diffuser works in concert with the flat under tray to create down force on the chassis, for high speed grip and stability. Further enhancements include, fully retracting power side glass, while large side view mirrors feature remote electric adjustment. Based on the Rossion website the Rossion Q1 will be available 17 different body colors, the color names represent certain countries racing colors and famous race circuits around the world.

The Rossion Q1 is expected to be released in mid 2008 with a starting price of $69,000 for a rolling chassis, or about $90,700 for a complete car.
