Mystery Super Car

[TehMac]

So, anyone have any idea what it is. I thought it was a GT 360 Ferrari, but it isn't that.

The car has a "cursive signature" badge, not sure what that means, friend told me that. Any ideas?

wot?
wot??

Koenigsegg CCR

That picture disagrees. I dunno, Koenigsegg is a great guess though. But it doesn't have 'cursive signature hand writing' on the back.

The distortion on the wheel is pretty cool.

 

[brblx]

not seeing the resemblance.

kit car maybe? it's not a ferrari or lambo.

Looks like a Noble...either an M12 or an M400

 

[Safeway]

Koenigsegg of some variety.

 

[The J]

It's a Ford Escape, duh!

Oh, you mean the other car... =P At first I thought SSC Aero, but I was definitely wrong.

 

[LordMorpheus]

I'd guess Noble.

Maybe a Ford GT40 with a Body Kit? I am just guessing here though.

Don't think so.

It's most definitely a Noble M400, look at the side intake.

I agree with it being a Koenigsegg, maybe a costume one. A CC by the way.

The side intake looks the same on the Noble and the Koenigsegg, but the rest of the car matches the noble better (although not perfectly, the roof cut off being the biggest problem).

it seems oddly familiar to me, but it's most definately not any kind of factory noble or koenigsegg.

it's certainly midengine and the wheels look like BBS RX's. but i can't find anything that matches that scoop or the engine cover.

Sort of looks like the rear, only the license plate on the pic above is posted where that guy has that grey symbol in the OP.


But I think Noble M400 might be it.

I thought Noble immediately when I saw the roofline and the rear window. I'm pretty sure it's an M400 now, after looking at some more pictures.

Nobles are pretty rare in the states. You almost build them like kit cars...you can buy the body and chassis from Superformance and source the engine separately. The engine for the M12 GTO and M400 was based on a modified Ford Duratec block, with twin turbos to give 350-400 HP.

I just had major deja veu. I could have sworn ATG was talking about this before...

odd, well, one popped up on the I5 in California. Not too surprised.


And whats the point of all those super car looks if the engine only churns out 450 bhp max?

It's a Rossion Q1. 450hp, 2417 lbs. 0-60 in 3.3 seconds.

Track times lay somewhere between a Porsche 997 GT3 CUP and a 997 GT3 RSR. Much MUCH faster than a 997 GT3 RS.

I don't get this part from the "History" section of their website.

"So, in 2007 Rossion Automotive presents the 2009 Rossion Q1."

I was wondering when apex was gonna chime in.

 

[TehMac]

Thanks Apex, that looks 100% spot on. For all you guys saying Noble M400, that was sort of correct because Rossoin purchased Noble and the rights to the M400, which the Q1 is based on heavily. But, while the M400 is designed as a race car, the Q1 is more sports car oriented with more luxuries. But still, with that kind of speed times...they did a tremendous job.

it weighs less than a civic

 

[TehMac]

OH FOR FUCKS SAKE. I just realize I posted the same picture three times.

Well I updated, but yeah, this confirms Apex is right.
