ROSSION AUTOMOTIVE APPOINTS DYNAMIC AUTO WEST NORTHERN CALIFORNIA DEALER
POMPANO BEACH, FL (August 1, 2010) –Rossion Automotive is pleased to announce the appointment of their first US dealer. Dynamic Auto West has been appointed as the Rossion Dealer for Northern California. which will enable Northern California drivers a chance to not only own one of the world’s best performing cars, the Rossion Q1 but have full service and backup on their doorsteps.Delivery of the dealership’s first demonstration Rossion Q-1 is scheduled for August 11, 2010.
Dynamic’s first Q-1 is finished in a stunning Sarthe Gray exterior with a beautiful two tone Red and Gray leather interior.
The Q1 is based on the famous English design the Noble M400, known among afficianados as one of the finest driving sports cars ever built. Since acquiring the rights to the Noble technology Rossion has made more than 300 engineering improvements. These changes increase the power and performance whilst meeting Euro IV emissions standards. They also make the external appearance sophisticated enough for the Q1 to sit alongside Porsche, Ferrari and Lamborghini and to attract camera phone photographers wherever you stop the car. The interior has been made more luxurious and easier to use offers the highest quality options available such as satellite navigation, power mirrors, hand-stitched interiors, and premium sound system whilst remaining it’s focus on the sport of driving. 0-60 Magazine says that “the Q1 exudes understated cool”
The Q1 is powered by a mid-mounted twin-supercharged aluminum block V6 engine with 450-horsepower and a max torque ratio of 390 lb. ft. at 5,000 rpm. Top speed is 189 mph with 0-60 mph in 3.1 seconds and the ability to reach 0-100 mph in 7.7 seconds. The Q1 has a steel space frame with bonded and riveted alloy panels, integral four-point roll cage and G.R.P. composite body with driver/passenger door intrusion beams. At 162 inches long, 74 inches wide (including mirrors) the vehicle weighs lb. 2475 giving it 418 bhp per ton.
The beautiful sounding V6 engine delivers huge torque and almost non-existent turbo lag. The long throttle travel makes it easy to control the 450bhp without wheel spin. Response to the throttle is immediate. With 418 bhp per ton the Q1 moves beyond being quick indeed AutoBlog says “Calling the Q1 Quick is like calling water wet … the Q1 is one of the quickest production cars the world has ever seen, featuring a 0-60 mph time equal to the MCLaren F1, Saleen S7 Twin Turbo and the Koenigsegg CCX.” 0-60 Magazine says “The acceleration is savage … figures that should earn the Q1 hypercar status.”
When brakes are needed the Q1’s cast iron cross drilled 13 inch AP Racing brakes enable the car to stop from 60 mph in 106 feet without the aid of ABS.
Despite straight-line acceleration that places it in the top handful of production cars ever made, where the Q1 excels is in its handling in the bends having inherited what has been described as the “magical” suspension geometry of the Noble. The Robb Report says that the Q1 “defies the handling norms of contempory sports cars.” “Steering is superb: where you look, there you go.” The Q1 can pull 1.1 g around a 200 foot skidpad and complete a standard slalom at 75mph. By comparison a Ferrari Enzo can only complete the slalom at 73mph and pull 1.02 g on the skid pad.
Despite the incredible performance, the Q1 is easy to drive in everyday use unlike many track-oriented supercars.
The Rossion Q-1 will be introduced to California customers at the Monterey Historics, August 13th to 15th. Dynamkic Auto West will display their Sarthe Gray Q-1 along with a beautiful Suzuka Pearl White Rossion. You will find the Rossion Automotive exhibit in the Expo Display Area (formerly referred to as the Island) of Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca.Orders are currently being accepted.
