Rossion Q1

Here is the link showing the manufacturers (Hi-Tech) plant in South Africa. The link I posted earlier is no longer valid.

The following is a link to a Noble built video. Although its not a Rossion the cars are very similar below the skin.

I've driven both the M400 and the Rossion. I likened the M400 to a poor man's F40 (never driven that one)--a track ready beast that can do double duty on the street. The M400 was the first car I ever drove that was fast in the way I imagined fast to be before getting my driver's license. Stab the accelerator and it pins you back in the seat as your eyes go wide and a grin spreads across your face.

The Rossion offers the same experience in a much more refined package. The interior is well put together, materials are first-rate and it feels luxurious. Many of the creaks and moans that you accepted in the M400 are gone, making the experience that much better. Craig has done a marvelous job tuning the suspension, from what I could tell on the relatively straight roads surrounding Sebring.

These may be considered kit cars in the USA, but they can't be thrown in the same bucket as Factory Five Cobras and the like. The only thing keeping Rossion from being considered a manufacturer are the laws of the land, not a lack of ability.

 

Like mentioned earlier, the name doesn't help any. They are really cool cars however, and have been on my wanted list for years.

 

I've dealt a lot with Rossion Automotive over the past six months, and they are nice people.


For the record, it is pronounced Ross (like the name) Eon (like the length of time?) RossEon - Rossion
