Rossion - Now just to decide on colour . . . . . . . .
Discussion
Order form filled out and deposit paid. Couldn wait any longer for the M15 so when I saw the pictures I just had to. Phoned Dean at Rossion and he was a pleasure to deal with. All info was back in minutes and great customer service so far! Number 21 on the list and delivery looking like June / July time.
New pictures uploaded on website. Me likes the interior! www.rossioncars.com/pages/gallery/gallery.html
PS: Anyone want to buy a M15 deposit :-)

Well done that man! You've done what I'd like to but not brave (or rich

PS - was talking to an Irish guy at the Autosport show about you
I think he knows the present owner of your M12.
Going by the message header I'm amazed that you resisted the temptation to point the OP towards Polynesian Green !! ) enough to do.Martin.

Did you get RHD?

RHD???????????????????????/
I didn't think they were doing rhd. I assumed that was part of the "deal".
Tell us more Alan, are you 100% sure its going to be a rhd'er??
[suddenly all out ears prick up!!!]
Greg,I didn't think they were doing rhd. I assumed that was part of the "deal".

[suddenly all out ears prick up!!!]
the deal was not to sell direct to the uk. However there are several countries other than the uk that have RHD...
So I guess there is nothing to stop anyone buying it in say Ireland and exporting it into the uk.

I emailed them ages ago and asked, they told me RHD but we didn't go into how to get it here. I did post it up when I found out

Brilliant Alan! Now that'll be rare - It'll be cool to see something Noble-esque that isn't vapourware. 
:yawn: It really is getting tiring Rob your comments about the new Noble.Nothing vapour about it at all when I saw Lee at the weekend, nor the Car magazine 'spyshot'

I don’t want to say anything to unpopular or controversial but!
That really doesn't look like it spent much time (if any)in a wind tunnel
Rossion's press releases aren't clear on that Adrian.That really doesn't look like it spent much time (if any)in a wind tunnel
Rossion Press Release said:
The Rossion Q1 is the result of the lessons learned in extensive testing, sale, and support of hundreds of Noble vehicles sold in the USA. It is a logical development of its predecessor. Every subtle performance change and design nuance was carefully implemented to make the car more comfortable and inviting, while further improving overall performance.
New Aerodynamic Bodywork:
The most striking new element in the Q1 is completely redesigned bodywork. The new beautifully proportioned shape gives the Rossion a sultry, aggressive look while further enhancing performance aspects. The revised panels retain the autoclaved composite construction, delivering superb surface finish and precise panel fit.
World class design and CAD modeling have been employed in the creation of the new body. Rather than change design for the sake of change, the driving force behind the new bodywork is air flow management. The result is a clean aerodynamic profile, efficient engine compartment airflow, and improved aerodynamic down force.
At the front, the reshaped nose directs high energy air down the sides of the body into the newly contoured side intakes. These new ducts are 30% larger than previous air scoops, ensuring adequate airflow for critical engine components. Turbulence around the side windows is also reduced for a more comfortable cockpit with the new, fully retractable side glass.
New charge air cooler intakes have been integrated into the body shape, with cool ram air gathered through new side window (B pillar) ducts. Again, aerodynamics is improved, while benefits are reaped in the form of increased power and efficiency.
In the rear, a more efficient diffuser enhances down force on the chassis, improving high speed grip and stability.
Further enhancements include new, longer
power side windows that fully retract into the doors while the side view mirrors feature remote electric adjustment.

A full production wind tunnel program is very expensive and time consuming. Lee couldn't afford it. Most small manufacturers can't.
The Q1 was modeled for its aerodynamics, then tested on the road. The desired aerodynamic results were achieved. This is how even major manufacturers start out now with a new design. It is likely that in the near future, a wind tunnel may not be necessary for anything but confirmation of a design solution where high speed testing, or a test track is not practical or available.
